Drain Cleaning in Federal Way: what is different here

Federal Way sits about 25 minutes up I-5 north, in King County. Many homes there date from the 1960s to 1980s, so their drains have had decades to build up grease and scale. Around Twin Lakes and Steel Lake, we snake the line and suggest hydro jetting only if the clog keeps coming back.

How the job runs

  1. Find the clog

    We ask what you have noticed, run water at a few fixtures and work out which pipe is blocked and how far down.
  2. Flat price first

    You get a flat price for the job before we start. You decide, with no pressure and no hourly clock.
  3. Clear the line

    We feed a cable through the drain or cleanout. The spinning head cuts through the clog and pulls debris back.
  4. Test and clean up

    We run water to prove the line flows, clean the work area and tell you how to keep it clear.
