Before you call
What to Do With a Clogged Drain
Some clogs are a plunger job. Others mean the main line is blocked and every drain you use makes it worse.
- One slow drain: try a plunger, with the overflow covered on a sink or tub.
- Several drains backing up at once, or water coming up when you flush: that is the main line. Stop running water.
- Do not pour chemical drain cleaner into a line that is fully blocked. It sits in the pipe and makes the job harder and less safe.
- Know where your cleanout is: usually a capped white pipe outside near the house. Leave the cap on if water is backed up.
Sewage in the tub? Do not flush or run water anywhere in the house, and call us.
Our own numbers
What We Did on Our Last 10 Tampa Drain Calls
Every plumbing drain call we completed at a Tampa address from July to October 2026, from our job records. Some calls needed more than one fix.
10Drain callsJuly to October 2026
5Main sewer linescleared, $349 through a cleanout
3Sink drainscleared, $279
Half of these calls were the main sewer line, not a single sink. When more than one drain backs up at the same time, the problem is almost always further down the line.

Tampa drains
Why Tampa Drains Clog the Way They Do
The age of the house and the trees in the yard decide most of what we find.
Old cast iron drains
Homes from the 1950s to the 1970s, and older homes in Seminole Heights, Tampa Heights and Hyde Park, often have cast iron drains that scale up inside and catch everything.
Oak roots and clay pipe
Live oaks and water oaks send roots into the joints of clay sewer pipe. Roots are a common reason a main line keeps backing up.
Kitchen grease
Grease washed down hot cools and sticks further down the line. It is one of the most common causes of a slow kitchen sink.
Sandy soil and bellies
Pipe can settle in sandy soil and form a low spot where waste collects. The camera finds it.
When it keeps coming back
Clear It or Fix the Pipe?
If the same drain keeps clogging, something in the pipe is catching it. The camera tells us what.
- Grease or scale: hydro jetting, $849, scours the pipe walls so the line stays open longer than a cable alone.
- Roots: oak roots get into clay and cast iron joints. We clear them and show you on camera where they get in.
- A belly, a crack or a collapse: clearing it again will not last. We repair the damaged section or replace the line, priced in writing.
- We do not do trenchless pipe lining. Our options are a spot repair, or replacing the damaged section or the full line.
Camera inspection: $399, or $499 with a locator. Often included at no charge on a drain call.

Questions
Drain Cleaning Questions
How much does drain cleaning cost in Tampa?
A sink, tub or shower drain is $279. A main sewer line cleared through a cleanout is $349, or $549 when we have to pull a toilet to reach it. Hydro jetting is $849. The diagnosis is FREE, and you approve the written price before we start.
How do I know if it is the main sewer line?
If more than one drain is slow or backing up at the same time, or water comes up in a tub or shower when you flush a toilet, the main line is blocked. Stop running water and call us.
What methods do you use to clear drains?
We use drain cables for most clogs, hydro jetting for grease, scale and roots, and a sewer camera to see what is in the line when the cause is not clear.
Is hydro jetting safe for old pipes?
For most pipes, yes. On older cast iron or clay we look with the camera first, because jetting a cracked or collapsing pipe is not the right fix. If the pipe is damaged, we tell you and price the repair instead.
Is the camera inspection free?
It depends on the job. On a drain call the camera is often included at no charge. A standalone camera inspection, for example for a home purchase, is $399, or $499 with a locator, and comes with the video and a written report.
Why does my kitchen drain keep clogging?
Grease and food build up in the line past the trap, so a clog keeps forming in the same place. Clearing the full line, or hydro jetting it, lasts longer than clearing just the trap.
Can tree roots get into my sewer line?
Yes. Oak roots get into the joints of clay and older pipe and grow until they block it. We clear them and show you on camera where they come in, so you can decide whether to repair that section.
Should I use chemical drain cleaner?
We do not recommend it. It rarely clears a main line, it sits in a fully blocked pipe, and it is hard on older pipes. A plunger is fine for a single slow drain.
Do you do trenchless pipe lining?
No. When a sewer line is broken we repair the damaged section or replace the line, priced in writing after the camera inspection.
Can you clear my drain today?
Same-day service is available on many jobs, and we are open 24 hours, 7 days a week. We give you an arrival window when you call.
