Diagnosing Before We Clean
Good drain cleaning starts with the right diagnosis. If one sink or tub is slow while the rest of the house drains normally, the clog is in that fixture’s trap or branch line, and a targeted cleaning solves it. If several drains are slow at the same time, if a toilet gurgles when the tub drains, or if water appears at the basement floor drain, the clog is in the main line. That requires clearing from a cleanout with power equipment. By asking the right questions and checking the right fixtures first, we avoid wasted time and make sure the fix addresses the actual problem.

Older Homes Near Downtown
Homes in the older parts of town may have cast iron drain lines and clay sewer laterals. Cast iron develops rough scale that narrows the pipe; clay joints can let roots into the line. When a main line in an older home clogs repeatedly, a camera inspection after cleaning reveals the reason. From there, you can choose periodic maintenance or a sewer and drain repair.
Newer Subdivisions and Townhomes
Newer homes have plastic drain lines that don’t corrode, but they still clog from grease, wipes, hair and debris, and trees planted when the neighborhood was built may now reach the sewer lateral. Townhome communities often share drain lines between units, so a clog in one section can affect a neighbor. We clear shared lines, document the cause for owners and associations, and can schedule maintenance of common lines.
Downtown and Commercial Drain Cleaning
Roselle’s restaurants, cafés, bars, shops and offices depend on working restrooms and kitchens. We also serve medical practices, schools, churches, fitness studios and light industrial businesses. We clear restroom lines, jet grease from kitchen lines and flush floor drains. For restaurants, regular hydro jetting keeps grease from building into a backup during a busy service. We schedule around your hours whenever possible.
Our Methods
Power rodding
Power rodding is the workhorse for main-line backups. A rotating cutter on a heavy cable opens the pipe and removes roots. Our $89.99 power rodding with free televising includes a camera run so you can see the result.
Hydro jetting
Hydro jetting uses a specialized nozzle and high-pressure water to strip grease and sediment from pipe walls, which helps lines stay clear longer. Take $50 off hydro jetting.
Camera inspection
After cleaning, a camera inspection confirms the line is open and reveals any damage.
Storms and Basement Water
Heavy rain can send water up through basement floor drains. Sometimes it’s a clog in your line; sometimes the system is overwhelmed. Clearing and inspecting your line shows whether your pipe is part of the problem. We also service sump pumps, with $50 off sump pumps and batteries.
When a Clog Keeps Coming Back
A drain that clogs again a few weeks after being cleared is sending a message. Usually, the earlier cleaning opened a path through the blockage without removing the cause: roots still anchored at a joint, grease still lining the pipe walls, or a sag where waste settles. Clearing the drain again only treats the symptom. We look for the cause with a camera and choose the cleaning method that addresses it, whether that’s rodding to cut roots, jetting to strip grease and scale, or both. When a repair is the only lasting fix, we’ll show you the footage and explain your options, including our $100 off any repair over $1,000.
What to Expect
We’ll ask about the symptoms, check the affected fixtures, locate a cleanout and give you a free estimate before any work begins. After clearing the line, we run water to confirm full flow, clean up and explain what we found.
