Houston drain cleaning
We've been the after-hours number for Houston-area homeowners and a few local property managers since 2019. Calls go to a real person. We're licensed, insured, and direct. No upselling, no door-to-door pitches, no hour-long sales appointments.

What's typical for this job
Drain cleaning sits between simple kitchen-sink clogs and full sewer-line replacements. We do everything in between: tub drains, laundry standpipes, kitchen sinks, toilets, and main lines.
First call is always cable (also called snaking). For most kitchen and bath blockages, a cable hits the obstruction and clears it. Cost: $145 to $340 depending on access.
If the cable doesn't clear it — common with grease accumulation in older kitchen lines, or root invasion in main sewer lines — the next step is hydro-jetting at 4,000 PSI. That actually scours the pipe rather than punching a hole through the clog. Cost: $480 to $950, often with a camera inspection thrown in.
The camera tells you whether you have a recurring problem (cracked tile, belly in the line, foreign object) versus a one-off clog. It's worth doing on a third call to the same drain — that's when something structural is usually behind the clog.
Notes on Houston housing stock
We work across Houston proper plus the surrounding suburbs, with average drive time of 30–60 minutes from dispatch to driveway.
One we ran last year
Got a call last month from a the north Houston home — 1950s build. Symptom: a tub that never drained right since they moved in. Cause: a kid's plastic toy lodged 18 inches into the trap arm. Pulled it out with a cable, all done in about two hours, billed flat-rate at $754.
