Drain Cleaning in Tacoma: what is different here
From our base on Tacoma's southeast side, near Midland and Summit, we clear drains in every Tacoma neighborhood. In the North End and Proctor District, early 1900s homes often have clay side sewers where street tree roots creep into the joints. A cable machine clears the clog, at a flat rate for most drain cleaning.

Drain Cleaning questions in Tacoma
Roots and aging pipe are the usual cause. Many early 1900s Tacoma homes still drain through clay or cast iron side sewers, and mature street trees push roots into the joints. Snaking clears the line, but if the clog comes back, a camera look shows whether roots or a sag are to blame.
Here is what is typical once we are on site. Single sink or tub clog: about 1 hour. Toilet auger service: up to about 1 hour. Our base is here in Tacoma, so we are never far away. We confirm timing with you when you book.
Most drain cleaning is a flat rate, so you know the price before we start. The price depends on which drain is blocked, how easy the cleanout is to reach and what caused the clog. Parts and labor are included, and you will not see hidden fees on the bill.
