Our Drain Cleaning Services

Comprehensive solutions for all your drain and sewer needs.

Hydro Jetting

High-pressure water jetting (3,000-4,000 PSI) completely clears grease, soap buildup, tree roots, and debris from your pipes. Unlike snaking, hydro jetting cleans the entire pipe diameter—lasting 3-5× longer than traditional drain cleaning methods.

Camera Inspections

We use waterproof cameras to inspect inside your drain lines and identify the exact cause and location of clogs, breaks, or root intrusions. You'll see exactly what we see—no guesswork. Recordings provided for insurance claims or records.

Kitchen Drain Cleaning

Grease, food particles, and soap scum create stubborn kitchen drain clogs. We clear sink drains, garbage disposal lines, and dishwasher drain connections. Restaurants and commercial kitchens: ask about scheduled preventive maintenance to avoid health code violations.

Bathroom Drain Cleaning

Hair, soap residue, and toothpaste create bathroom drain clogs. We clear sink drains, tub drains, shower drains, and floor drains. Standing water in your shower? We'll have it draining properly in no time.

Main Sewer Line Cleaning

When multiple drains back up at once, your main sewer line is clogged. Tree roots, grease buildup, and collapsed pipes cause sewer backups. We clear main lines quickly to prevent sewage from backing up into your home or business.

Emergency Drain Service

Sewer backups and complete drain blockages can't wait. We provide 24/7 emergency drain cleaning throughout DFW. When sewage is backing up into your home, call us immediately at (972) 466-1917. We'll dispatch a plumber right away.

Hydro Jetting vs. Traditional Snaking

Why hydro jetting lasts longer and cleans more effectively.

Traditional Snaking

How it works: A metal cable (snake) spins through the pipe, punching a hole through the clog.

Pros: Quick, inexpensive, effective for simple clogs.

Cons: Leaves grease, soap scum, and debris on pipe walls. Clogs often return within months. Can damage old pipes if used aggressively.

Best for: Simple toilet clogs, shallow drain blockages, emergency situations when hydro jetting equipment isn't immediately available.

Cost: $150-$300

Hydro Jetting

How it works: High-pressure water (3,000-4,000 PSI) blasts through clogs and scours the entire inside of the pipe, removing grease, soap buildup, mineral deposits, and tree roots.

Pros: Completely cleans pipes (like new), lasts 3-5× longer, eco-friendly (just water, no chemicals), removes tree roots.

Cons: More expensive upfront, requires camera inspection first to check pipe condition.

Best for: Recurring clogs, grease buildup, tree root intrusions, main sewer lines, commercial kitchens, preventive maintenance.

Cost: $350-$900

Our recommendation: If you've had the same drain clog more than twice, hydro jetting is worth the investment. You'll save money long-term by not paying for repeated service calls.

Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning

Don't wait until you have a complete backup—call at the first warning sign.

Slow Draining Sinks or Tubs

Water pools instead of draining immediately? You have a partial clog forming. Call now before it becomes a complete blockage.

Gurgling Sounds from Drains

Gurgling or bubbling noises indicate air trapped by a blockage. Your drain line is partially clogged and getting worse.

Foul Odors from Drains

Sewer smells mean organic matter is rotting inside your pipes. This attracts drain flies and creates health hazards.

Multiple Drains Backing Up

When multiple fixtures back up at once, your main sewer line is clogged. This requires immediate professional attention.

Water Backing Up

Water backing into sinks, tubs, or floor drains means complete blockage. Can cause water damage and mold growth.

Recurring Clogs

Repeatedly plunging the same drain? You have a persistent blockage that snaking isn't clearing. Hydro jetting is the solution.

How to Prevent Drain Clogs

Simple habits that keep your drains flowing freely.

Kitchen Drains

  • Scrape food into trash before washing dishes
  • Never pour grease, oil, or fat down the drain (let cool and trash it)
  • Use drain guards to catch food particles
  • Run hot water after using the garbage disposal
  • Avoid putting coffee grounds, eggshells, or potato peels in the disposal

Bathroom Drains

  • Use hair catchers in shower and tub drains
  • Brush hair before showering to reduce loose strands
  • Don't flush anything except toilet paper and human waste
  • Avoid "flushable" wipes (they're not actually flushable)
  • Clean pop-up stoppers monthly to remove hair buildup

All Drains

  • Flush drains weekly with hot water
  • Schedule professional drain cleaning annually
  • Avoid chemical drain cleaners (they damage pipes)
  • Address slow drains immediately—don't wait
  • Consider hydro jetting for preventive maintenance

"Our kitchen sink was draining so slowly that we had standing water for 30+ minutes after doing dishes. I called LEX and they were out the same day. The plumber recommended hydro jetting instead of just snaking, explained why, and showed me the before/after on camera. It's been 8 months and the drain still works like new. Worth every penny."

Drain Cleaning FAQs

How much does drain cleaning cost?

Simple drain snaking costs $150-$300. Hydro jetting costs $350-$900 depending on line length and severity of blockage. Main sewer line cleaning costs $400-$1,200. Camera inspections add $200-$400 but help us diagnose the exact issue. We provide upfront pricing before starting work.

How long does drain cleaning take?

Most drain cleaning jobs take 1-2 hours once our plumber arrives. Simple sink or toilet clogs take 30-60 minutes. Main sewer line hydro jetting takes 2-4 hours. Camera inspections add 30-60 minutes but provide valuable information about your pipe condition.

Should I use chemical drain cleaners?

No. Chemical drain cleaners (Drano, Liquid-Plumr, etc.) damage pipes, especially older cast iron or PVC. They rarely clear tough clogs and can create dangerous situations if they don't work—you'll have caustic chemicals sitting in your pipes. Professional hydro jetting is safer and more effective.

What causes recurring drain clogs?

Recurring clogs indicate a persistent problem that snaking isn't fully resolving. Common causes: grease buildup on pipe walls, tree root intrusions, bellied pipes (sagging sections), or partial pipe collapse. A camera inspection identifies the exact cause so we can provide a permanent solution.

Can you clean drains same-day?

Yes, we offer same-day drain cleaning throughout DFW. Call before 2pm and we'll do our best to get there the same day. For emergency drain service (sewage backups, multiple drains backing up), we're available 24/7 and prioritize urgent calls.

Will hydro jetting damage my old pipes?

Not if done correctly. That's why we always perform a camera inspection first to check pipe condition. If your pipes are severely corroded or cracked, we'll recommend traditional snaking or pipe replacement instead. Our licensed plumbers know when hydro jetting is safe and when it's not.

Do you offer drain cleaning for businesses?

Yes, we provide commercial drain cleaning for restaurants, retail stores, offices, medical facilities, and more. We offer scheduled preventive maintenance to avoid emergency situations during business hours. Many restaurants schedule monthly or quarterly hydro jetting to prevent grease buildup and health code violations.

What's included in a camera inspection?

We insert a waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable into your drain line. The camera transmits real-time video showing the inside of your pipes. We can see clogs, tree roots, cracks, bellied pipes, and corrosion. You'll see exactly what we see on our monitor. We provide recordings for insurance claims or your records.

How often should I have my drains cleaned?

Residential homes: Professional drain cleaning every 18-24 months prevents buildup and catches issues early. Commercial kitchens: Monthly or quarterly hydro jetting depending on volume. Homes with frequent clogs or older cast iron pipes: Annual cleaning. Preventive maintenance is always cheaper than emergency repairs.

Do you offer emergency drain service?

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency drain cleaning throughout DFW. If you have sewage backing up into your home, multiple drains backing up, or a complete blockage, call (972) 466-1917 immediately. We'll dispatch a licensed plumber right away.
