The sink takes a minute to empty, then five, then it doesn't empty at all. Or one drain gurgles when another one is used, which usually means the clog is further down than you can reach.
Clearing a drain is half the job. The other half is knowing what blocked it: grease, hair, roots, or a pipe that has sagged. We clear the line, then tell you what we found and whether it's likely to come back.
Check any that apply
Standing water in the sink or tub
A drain that gurgles or smells
The same clog every few months
More than one drain backing up at once
Water coming up in the tub when the washer drains
One of these is reason enough to call. Jarol sees them all regularly.
What we clear
From the kitchen sink to the main line.
Where the clog sits decides the tool. One slow drain is usually close by. Several at once point to the main line.
01
Sink, Tub & Shower Drains
Kitchen lines packed with grease and food, bathroom drains slowed by hair and soap. We cable the line through the trap or the cleanout and run water to check it's fully open.
CABLED, NOT CHEMICALS
TESTED WITH WATER
02
Disposals & Kitchen Lines
A humming or jammed disposal, a dishwasher that backs up into the sink, a trap that leaks after someone else's fix. We sort out the whole under-sink run, not just the blockage.
DISPOSALS
DISHWASHER BACKUPS
03
Main Line & Sewer
When every drain is slow or the lowest one backs up, the problem is in the main line. We work from the cleanout, clear the line, and tell you plainly if the pipe itself looks damaged.

How it works
What to expect
01
Tell us which drains
One drain or several? Upstairs or the lowest one in the house? That tells us where the clog probably is and what to bring.
02
Clear the line
We cable the drain from the best access point, protect the floor and fixtures, and run plenty of water through afterwards.
03
What we found
You hear what caused it and whether it's a one-time clog or a sign of something in the pipe. No guesswork presented as fact.
The kind of job this covers
Many slow sinks are solved at the trap, a few inches below the drain, without touching the rest of the line.

We'd rather you didn't. Chemical cleaners rarely clear a real clog, they can damage older pipes, and they sit in the standing water that someone then has to work in. If you've already used one, tell us before we start.
Usually because the clog was poked through and not cleared, or because of how the pipe is laid: a sag, a rough joint, or roots getting in. We'll tell you which it looks like once the line is open.
Most often the main line. The lowest drain in the house, a basement floor drain or a ground-floor tub, tends to show it first. Stop running water where you can and call or text us.
Yes. A toilet auger reaches past where a plunger can, and if something solid is lodged in the trap we can pull the toilet, remove it and reset it on a new seal.
We put down floor protection, work from the cleanest access point, and wipe up before we leave. Standing water gets removed, not left for you.
