Recent service example
Property manager call, Virginia Beach-area duplex. Both units had slow kitchen drain that kept clogging every six weeks. We pulled the system apart and found 15 years of grease + calcium buildup in a 1960s galvanized line. Hydro-jetted the line and recommended yearly maintenance on the same trip — both tenants happy. $754.
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.
