Recognize the Signs

Signs You Need Clog Removal

Many plumbing problems begin with a partially blocked drain. Ignoring these warning signs can lead to complete backups, water damage, or pipe failure — all far more expensive than early clog removal:

Slow draining sinks
Standing water in showers
Bathtub draining slowly
Toilet overflowing
Gurgling drains
Bad drain odors
Water backing into tubs
Multiple clogged fixtures
Frequent toilet clogs
Basement floor drain backups
Kitchen sink won't drain
Washing machine drain overflow

Call Immediately If You Have:

  • Overflowing toilets
  • Sewage backing into your home
  • Multiple clogged drains at once
  • Water flooding floors
  • Main sewer backups
  • Basement drain overflow

Know the Root Cause

What Causes Drain Clogs?

Over time, drains naturally collect debris that restricts water flow. Identifying the cause is the first step to a permanent fix — not just a temporary clearing:

Hair

Hair combines with soap residue to form thick, dense blockages inside bathroom drains — the leading cause of shower and tub drain clogs.

Grease

Cooking grease poured down kitchen drains hardens as it cools and traps food particles, progressively narrowing the pipe until flow nearly stops.

Soap Scum

Soap residue builds up on pipe walls over years, gradually narrowing drain openings and providing a sticky surface for hair and debris to catch on.

Food Waste

Coffee grounds, rice, pasta, eggshells, and fibrous vegetables commonly clog kitchen drains — even with a garbage disposal running.

Tree Roots

Roots naturally grow toward moisture sources and can enter sewer lines through the smallest crack or joint gap, growing rapidly inside the pipe.

Mineral Deposits

Colorado's hard water leaves calcium and magnesium deposits on pipe walls over time, slowly reducing the effective diameter of your drain lines.

Flushable Wipes

Even products marketed as 'flushable' often fail to break apart in sewer lines and are responsible for a significant percentage of serious sewer blockages.

Foreign Objects

Toys, hygiene products, paper towels, and excessive toilet paper can create complete obstructions — particularly in toilets and floor drains.

Our Approach

Our Professional Clog Removal Process

1

Drain Inspection

We inspect your plumbing system — visually and with camera technology where needed — to determine the exact location, depth, and cause of the clog before selecting the right method.

2

Professional Clog Removal

Depending on the blockage, we use drain snakes, power augers, hydro jetting, commercial sewer machines, or a combination. We select the method that clears the clog completely without damaging your pipes.

3

Flow Testing

After removing the clog, we run water and test flow at affected fixtures throughout the plumbing system to confirm the blockage is fully cleared — not just partially opened.

4

Prevention Recommendations

We explain what caused the clog, show you what we found, and recommend maintenance habits or follow-up services to help prevent the same problem from returning.

Hydro Jetting for Severe Clogs

For stubborn or recurring clogs, hydro jetting provides one of the most effective solutions. High-pressure water (3,000–4,000 PSI) scours the inside of pipes rather than just creating a small opening through the clog.

What hydro jetting removes:

  • Grease
  • Scale buildup
  • Tree roots
  • Sludge
  • Soap residue
  • Mineral deposits

Video Camera Drain Inspection

When the cause isn't immediately obvious — or when a clog keeps coming back — we run a waterproof camera through the drain to see exactly what's causing the problem, and where.

Camera inspection identifies:

  • Tree root intrusion
  • Broken pipes
  • Pipe offsets
  • Corrosion
  • Grease buildup
  • Bellied sewer lines

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does clog removal cost in Colorado?

Clog removal costs depend on the location, severity, and equipment required. Simple sink or shower drain clogs typically run $100–$300. Hydro jetting for severe buildup or sewer lines runs $300–$800. Main sewer line clearing costs $500–$1,500+. We provide upfront pricing after assessing the situation — you'll know the cost before any work begins.

Can I use chemical drain cleaners instead of calling a plumber?

Chemical drain cleaners may provide temporary relief but come with significant downsides. They can corrode metal pipes, crack PVC, and degrade pipe joints over time with repeated use. They're also a safety hazard — caustic chemicals can splash when a backup occurs. More importantly, they rarely remove the full blockage — they may partially dissolve a clog but leave the underlying buildup that caused it. Professional clog removal removes the actual problem and diagnoses why it occurred.

How long does clog removal take?

Most residential drain clogs — sinks, showers, tubs, and toilets — are cleared within 30–90 minutes. More complex main sewer line issues may require 1–2 hours, or longer if hydro jetting and camera inspection are needed. We carry all necessary equipment on our trucks so most jobs are completed in a single visit.

What if my drain keeps clogging?

Recurring clogs almost always indicate a deeper issue rather than a simple surface blockage. The most common causes are tree root intrusion into the sewer line, pipe damage (cracks, offsets, or a belly that traps debris), widespread grease or scale buildup that snaking doesn't fully address, or a pipe that has significantly narrowed due to mineral buildup. A camera inspection identifies the underlying cause so we can recommend a permanent solution — not another temporary fix.

Do you offer emergency clog removal services?

Yes. Our emergency line is answered 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Call (720) 255-9702 immediately if you have an overflowing toilet, sewage backing into your home, multiple fixtures clogged at once, or water flooding your floor. These situations require fast response to prevent serious water damage.
