Clogs cleared, drains left fresh.
Few things are more frustrating than a clogged drain when the family is trying to get out the door. Our plumbers clear the toughest household clogs and check that there isn't a bigger problem behind them.
We use snakes, augers and water jets to clear most clogs mechanically. That's better for your pipes than store-bought chemical drain cleaners, which are corrosive and rarely fix a real clog.
- Kitchen & bathroom sinks
- Toilets, tubs & showers
- Main sewer lines
- Recurring clogs

When a plunger isn't enough.
Some clogs are too tough for a household plunger. Call if you're seeing any of these.
- A drain that won't clearThe sink, tub or shower stays slow or stopped no matter what you try.
- The same clog againA drain that backs up every few months has buildup that keeps closing the line.
- Several drains at onceUsually a blocked main sewer line, not a single fixture. This is urgent.
- Water where it shouldn't beThe tub fills when the sink runs, or the toilet backs up when the washer drains.
- Gurgling drainsAir trapped behind a partial clog makes sinks and toilets gurgle as they drain.
- A sewer smellA foul odor from a drain can mean buildup in the trap or a problem further down the line.
Every drain backing up at once? Stop running water and call King 24/7.
Snaking or hydro-jetting
The right tool for the clog.
Snaking clears the clog. Hydro-jetting cleans the pipe. Our plumbers carry both and choose on site, after looking at the line.
For a single slow fixture with no history, a snake is usually faster and enough. For recurring backups and grease-heavy kitchen lines, high-pressure water scours the pipe wall so you go longer between calls. In older homes, we assess the pipe before jetting, and if it can't take it, we'll say so.

If your drains are clogging all at once, the problem is likely in the main sewer line, and you could be at risk of a sewage backup.

Can't I clear this clog myself?
Some clogs are too tough for a plunger. We recommend against store-bought drain cleaners: they're corrosive and not good for your pipes. For clogs that won't let up, a plumber's tools remove the blockage and clear the whole line.
Can I get a free inspection first?
Yes. Book a free VIP plumbing inspection and a plumber will look at the drain, tell you what's causing the problem and give you an up-front quote. Sewer camera inspections aren't part of the free visit. About the VIP inspection.
How long does drain cleaning take?
It depends on the clog and the method. Simple clogs are often cleared quickly; main-line blockages or heavy buildup can take longer. Your plumber will tell you what to expect before starting.
Is there an eco-friendly way to clear a drain?
Yes. Hydro-jetting uses only high-pressure water, with no harsh chemicals, and works on many types of plumbing systems.
