FAQs
What types of drains can you clean in Bean Station homes and businesses?
We service every drain in your property, including kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs and showers, floor drains, laundry drains, main sewer lines, and exterior French drains. Our technicians arrive with a full range of augers, cable machines, and hydro-jetting equipment so we can clear anything from small branch lines to large, heavily clogged main lines.
How much does professional drain cleaning typically cost in Bean Station?
Pricing depends on the drain’s location, severity of the clog, and the cleaning method required. For a routine interior sink or tub drain, cost usually ranges from $125–$175. Main sewer line cleaning averages $250–$400, while hydro-jetting or camera inspections may add $100–$200. We provide free, on-site estimates before any work begins, so you’ll know the exact price with no hidden fees.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency drain cleaning services?
Yes. Clogs don’t keep business hours, so neither do we. Our Bean Station team is on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for backed-up toilets, overflowing floor drains, or sewage in the yard. When you call, a live dispatcher will send the nearest licensed plumber, and most emergencies are resolved within one to two hours of your call.
What methods do you use to clear stubborn or recurring clogs?
We start with mechanical cable snaking to break up debris. If the clog is tough or roots are present, we move to high-pressure hydro-jetting, which scours pipe walls and flushes grease, scale, and roots out to the municipal main. For chronic issues, we perform video camera inspections to locate pipe damage or bellies, then recommend spot repairs, pipe relining, or replacement if needed. All equipment is safe for modern PVC, cast-iron, and clay pipes.
How can I tell if I need professional drain cleaning rather than a store-bought cleaner?
Warning signs include gurgling noises, water backing up in nearby fixtures, slow drainage in multiple locations, foul sewer odors, or repeated clogs returning within weeks. Chemical drain cleaners may give temporary relief but can corrode pipes and harm septic systems. If plunging doesn’t restore full flow, it’s time for a licensed plumber to diagnose and clear the line properly.
What can I do to prevent future clogs once my drains are cleaned?
1) Keep fats, oils, and grease out of kitchen drains—collect them in a container instead. 2) Use drain screens in sinks, tubs, and showers to catch hair and food scraps. 3) Run cold water for 20–30 seconds after using the garbage disposal. 4) Flush only toilet paper—no wipes, sanitary products, or paper towels. 5) Schedule an annual preventive hydro-jetting or enzyme treatment with our Bean Station team if you have trees near sewer lines or a history of backups.
