Drain Cleaning

A slow drain is annoying. A drain that’s completely stopped at 6pm on a weeknight is a crisis. We see both constantly, and the cause is almost always the same handful of culprits, grease, hair, soap scum, or root intrusion that found its way into an old line somewhere between here and the street.

Hydro jetting is honestly the best tool for the job in most cases. It blasts through buildup that a standard drain snake just pushes further down the pipe, which is why some drains keep clogging every few months no matter how many times someone’s tried to clear them the cheap way. We use jetting on the tougher jobs and a snake when that’s genuinely all it needs.

Denver’s older neighborhoods still run a lot of cast iron pipe, which behaves nothing like the PVC you’d find in a newer build out in Parker or Commerce City. Cast iron corrodes from the inside and narrows over decades, so what looks like a simple clog sometimes turns out to be a pipe that’s just worn thin. We check for that before we recommend anything.

If a drain keeps backing up in the same spot, that’s not bad luck, that’s a pattern worth paying attention to. We’d rather diagnose the real problem now than have you calling us back in six weeks. Lakewood, Arvada, wherever you’re at, we’ll take a proper look.
