Drain Cleaning services in Indianapolis
Whether you saw water on the floor or just heard a drip, what happens in the next 30 minutes matters. Stop reading and call if it's the first one. Three things you can count on: we show up when we say we will, we quote before we work, and we don't pad the bill.
What we cover
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.
Local context for Indianapolis
Most jobs are residential, but we handle small commercial too — restaurants, multi-unit rentals, retail strips along the main corridors.
On bigger jobs we'll bring two techs. On simpler ones, just one — fewer hands, faster billing.

Sample job
A Indianapolis customer in their 1970s home had been chasing sewage backing into the basement drain after rain for weeks before calling. Clay tile lateral cracked at 42 feet, root mass invading was the actual cause. We hydro-jet + chemical root treatment, scheduled trenchless burst; everything stable since. About $1012 all in.
