When your kitchen sink takes forever to empty or your shower starts pooling water around your feet, you’re not just dealing with an inconvenience. You’re looking at a problem that’s going to get worse—and more expensive—if you don’t handle it right.
Professional drain cleaning doesn’t just poke a hole through the blockage like those cheap fixes. We clear the entire pipe, removing years of buildup that causes those recurring clogs. Your drains work like they should, water flows fast, and you don’t have to worry about the same problem coming back next month.
You get your time back. No more standing in ankle-deep shower water or watching dirty dish water sit in your sink. Just drains that work the way they’re supposed to work.
We’ve been clearing drains in Brightwaters since 1998. We’re the local family business that actually shows up when we say we will and charges what we quote—no surprises, no weekend surcharges, no games.
We know the drainage challenges in this area. The older homes near the bay, the tree root problems on the south side, the way certain neighborhoods deal with seasonal water table changes. This isn’t our first rodeo with Brightwaters plumbing.
You’re not getting some franchise operation that’s never seen your street before. You’re getting the team that’s been fixing drains in your neighborhood for over two decades.
First, we inspect the drain to see what we’re dealing with. Sometimes it’s a simple clog near the surface. Other times it’s years of buildup or tree roots that have worked their way into the line.
We use professional-grade equipment—not the hardware store snake that barely reaches ten feet. Our electric drain machines can clear blockages deep in your system, and when needed, we bring in hydro-jetting equipment that scours the entire pipe clean with high-pressure water.
After we clear the line, we test it to make sure water flows properly. If we find damage or recurring issues, we’ll explain your options clearly so you can make the right decision for your home and budget.

You get complete drain clearing—not just a temporary fix. We handle kitchen sinks clogged with grease and food debris, bathroom drains blocked with hair and soap scum, and main line clogs that cause multiple fixtures to back up.
In Brightwaters, we see a lot of root intrusion problems, especially in homes built before the 1980s. The mature trees that make this neighborhood beautiful can cause serious drainage issues. We clear these blockages and can recommend long-term solutions if roots are a recurring problem.
We also handle the seasonal drainage challenges that come with living near the water. High water tables, storm-related backups, and the way certain soil conditions affect older drain systems. Local experience matters when you’re dealing with drainage problems that are specific to this area.
Most residential drain cleaning in Brightwaters runs between $150-$400, depending on the location and severity of the clog. Kitchen drains clogged with grease typically cost less to clear than main sewer lines with tree root intrusion.
We give you the price upfront before we start work. No hidden fees, no surprise charges for evenings or weekends, no “discovery” costs that double your bill. What we quote is what you pay.
The cost of professional cleaning is usually much less than dealing with the damage from a major backup. We’ve seen too many homeowners try to save money with cheap fixes, only to end up with flooded basements and thousands in cleanup costs.
Recurring clogs usually mean the blockage is deeper in your system than surface-level buildup. In many Brightwaters homes, especially older ones, tree roots are the main culprit. Mature trees send roots toward any moisture source, and they’ll find the smallest crack in your drain pipe.
Grease buildup is another common cause. Even if you’re careful about what goes down your kitchen drain, soap and food particles combine with grease over time to create stubborn blockages that keep coming back.
Sometimes the problem is with the pipe itself—bellied sections where water sits and debris accumulates, or damaged pipes that catch everything flowing through. Professional inspection can identify these issues before they cause major problems.
Call immediately if you have sewage backing up into your home, multiple drains backing up at the same time, or water coming up through floor drains. These are signs of main line blockages that can cause serious damage and health hazards.
Don’t wait if you smell sewage odors coming from drains, hear gurgling sounds when you run water, or notice water backing up in one fixture when you use another. These early warning signs mean you have a developing problem that’s much cheaper to fix now than later.
If you’re dealing with a single slow drain, you can usually wait for normal business hours. But if it’s affecting multiple fixtures or causing water to back up onto your floors, that’s an emergency that needs immediate attention.
We can clear existing root blockages and recommend preventive measures to reduce future problems. Root intrusion happens when tree roots find moisture around drain pipes—even tiny cracks or loose joints attract them.
After clearing the roots, we can discuss options like root barriers, pipe lining, or regular maintenance treatments that discourage root growth. For severe cases, pipe replacement might be the most cost-effective long-term solution.
The key is addressing root problems before they cause major damage. Regular professional cleaning can catch root intrusion early, when it’s still manageable. Once roots completely block a line or cause pipe collapse, your options become more expensive.
Snaking uses a metal cable to break through clogs and pull out debris. It’s effective for most blockages and works well for hair clogs, food buildup, and minor root intrusion. Most residential drain problems can be solved with professional-grade snaking equipment.
Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean the inside of the pipe, removing all buildup and debris. It’s more thorough than snaking but costs more and isn’t always necessary. We recommend hydro-jetting for severely clogged lines, recurring problems, or when you want the most complete cleaning possible.
We’ll inspect your drain and recommend the right method for your specific situation. Sometimes a simple snaking is all you need. Other times, hydro-jetting is worth the extra cost for the long-term results it provides.

Our guarantee doesn’t cover new clogs from normal use or different blockages in the same line. But if we clear a grease clog and grease blocks the same spot again within the guarantee period, we’ll take care of it.
