Drain cleaning done right — all the way to the wall

A slow drain is rarely just a slow drain. Most of the time it is the early signal of a buildup problem that is growing further down the line — grease coating a kitchen lateral, mineral scale narrowing a bathroom stack, or tree roots threading into a main sewer line. Professional drain cleaning does not just punch through the clog; it identifies the cause with a camera and removes the obstruction completely so the problem does not come back in three months.

We serve homeowners across Palm Beach County with licensed drain cleaning, hydro-jetting, and video inspection — plus french drain installation for yards and driveways that pool water every time it rains. If water is going somewhere it should not, we find it and fix it.


Find your fix

Kitchen drain, main line, hydro-jet, or french drain

Not every slow drain calls for the same solution. The right approach depends on which fixture is affected, what the camera shows, and whether the problem is inside the house or out in the yard. Here is how we size the service to the situation.

Drain cleaning and drainage services we provide
ServiceWhat it doesBest for
Drain snaking A steel auger breaks apart a clog and clears the obstruction.Single-fixture clogs — kitchen sink, tub, shower, or toilet.
Hydro-jetting High-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) scours grease, scale, and roots from the pipe wall.Recurring clogs, grease-heavy kitchen lines, main-line buildup, and tree-root infiltration.
Camera / video inspection A flexible camera runs the line so we see cracks, root intrusion, bellied pipe, or scale.Diagnosing recurring clogs, buying a home, or before any hydro-jet or sewer repair.
Main sewer line cleaning Snake or hydro-jet the main lateral from the house to the city connection.Backups affecting multiple fixtures, slow whole-house drains, sewage odor indoors.
French drain installation Perforated pipe in a gravel trench channels surface or ground water to a safe outlet.Standing water in yards, wet garages, foundation moisture, or driveway flooding after rain.

Not sure which you need? That is what the on-site visit is for. We run the camera first so you know exactly what we are clearing — and why — before we quote the fix. Start with a free estimate or run the numbers first with our plumbing cost estimator.

South Florida drains have South Florida problems

Hard water leaves calcium deposits that slowly strangle your pipes. Ficus roots find the tiniest crack in a sewer lateral. Summer downpours overwhelm a flat yard with nowhere to drain. Every fix we recommend is sized to the actual local conditions — not a generic checklist from a manual written for somewhere it freezes.

Our process

Diagnose first, then clear it for good

A clog that comes back every few months was never fully cleared. Here is how we approach every drain call so the fix lasts:

  • Camera inspection before we touch anything. A flexible video camera runs the line so we see exactly what is blocking it — grease, scale, tree roots, a bellied section of pipe, or a broken fitting. We show you the screen so there are no surprises.
  • Right tool for the job. Simple blockage near a fixture? A snake clears it fast. Buildup coating the interior wall? Hydro-jetting scours it out with up to 4,000 PSI. We match the method to what the camera found.
  • Full-wall hydro-jet when it calls for it. The 360° rotating nozzle strips grease and scale from the pipe wall, not just punches through the clog. After a hydro-jet, the line is clean throughout its diameter, not just passable.
  • Confirm with a second camera pass. After clearing, we run the camera again so you can see the clean pipe. No guessing whether the job is done.
  • French drain if the problem is outside. Water pooling in the yard, flooding the garage, or soaking the foundation is a drainage problem, not a plumbing problem. We design and install perforated-pipe french drains and connect them to permitted storm or sewer connections.
South Florida drain facts

Hard water, ficus roots, and flat yards — the local drain picture

Palm Beach County throws four drain problems at homeowners that most of the country rarely sees at the same time. Getting the diagnosis right means knowing which one you are dealing with.

HARD WATER Palm Beach County water is mineral-heavy — calcium and magnesium coat the inside of drain lines over years, slowly narrowing them until even small debris clogs them.
TREE ROOTS Ficus, sea grape, and palm roots find hairline cracks in sewer laterals and grow inside the pipe. Camera inspection identifies root infiltration before it causes a full blockage or collapse.
FLAT TERRAIN South Florida’s near-zero grade means runoff has nowhere to go without engineering. French drains are one of the most effective tools for a perpetually wet yard or driveway.
SUMMER RAIN 60+ inches of annual rainfall, most of it in intense summer bursts, overwhelms undersized or partially blocked main lines quickly. Hydro-jetting before rainy season is smart maintenance.

Drain slow or backing up? We clear it the same day when possible.

What it costs

Drain cleaning and french drain — what drives the price

There is no single price for drain cleaning because the number depends on which line is blocked, how badly, and what the camera finds. A straightforward kitchen or bathroom drain clearing is a modest service call. Hydro-jetting a main sewer line takes heavier equipment and more time. A french drain installation is an excavation job priced by linear footage, pipe diameter, depth, and where the outlet connects.

We quote on-site after we see the line — never over the phone before a camera pass. That way you know exactly what you are paying for and why. If you want a ballpark before you call, our plumbing cost estimator gives you ranges by service type. And if a drain problem turns out to be a deeper sewer line issue, we handle that in the same visit rather than sending you to a different company. Start with a free estimate.

We offer 24/7 emergency drain service for backed-up sewage, flooding, or a main line that has stopped moving entirely — no after-hours surcharge surprise.

Drain cleaning & french drain questions

What is hydro-jetting and when do I need it?

Hydro-jetting sends a high-pressure water stream — typically 3,500–4,000 PSI — through a flexible hose to scour the inside of a drain or sewer line. A snake punches through a clog; hydro-jetting removes it and the grease, scale, and debris coating the pipe walls. If your drains clog again a few months after a snake, or if camera inspection shows heavy buildup or tree-root infiltration, hydro-jetting resets the line to near-new condition. It is also the right choice for stubborn kitchen-grease lines and main sewer laterals.

How much does drain cleaning cost in Palm Beach County?

A single-line service call for a kitchen or bathroom clog is a straightforward job with an accessible price. Main-line cleaning and hydro-jetting cost more because of the equipment and time involved. French drain installation is an excavation project and scales with the total linear footage, pipe diameter, and how far the outlet needs to run to daylight or a storm connection. Rather than guessing over the phone, we diagnose on-site and hand you a clear written quote before any work starts. See our plumbing cost estimator for a ballpark range by service type.

What is the difference between snaking and hydro-jetting?

A drain snake (or auger) is a coiled steel cable that punches through a clog and breaks it apart — fast, affordable, and right for most hair, soap, or food blockages in a single fixture. Hydro-jetting sprays the pipe wall with a full 360° high-pressure rinse that strips grease, mineral scale, and tree rootlets from the interior surface rather than just piercing the blockage. After snaking, residue stays on the pipe wall and clogs tend to reform. After hydro-jetting, the line is clean throughout. We choose the right method after camera inspection tells us what we are dealing with.

What causes drains to clog so often in South Florida?

Palm Beach County has a few local clog drivers that homeowners elsewhere see less often. Hard water deposits calcium and magnesium scale on the inside of supply and drain lines, narrowing the passage over time. Tree roots — especially ficus, sea grape, and native palms — seek moisture and infiltrate sewer lines through hairline cracks. Kitchen grease solidifies in cooler water and coats drain walls. And heavy summer rain can overwhelm older cast-iron or undersized main lines. Camera inspection tells us exactly which driver we are dealing with so we fix the right thing.

What is a french drain and do I need one?

A french drain is a gravel-filled trench containing a perforated pipe that collects groundwater or surface runoff and routes it away from your foundation, yard, or driveway. In South Florida’s flat terrain and sandy soil, french drains are one of the most effective ways to stop a perpetually wet yard, standing water near the house, or a garage that floods in heavy rain. Water seeps down through the gravel into the perforated pipe and flows to an outlet or storm connection. If the same low spot stays wet every time it rains, a french drain is almost certainly the fix. We install and connect to permitted storm or sewer drainage where applicable.
