DRAIN CLEANING
IN PORTLAND
Fast, thorough clog removal for kitchen, bath, and main line drains. Dispatched around the clock across Portland, OR - overnight, weekends and holidays, at the same flat rate as a weekday afternoon.
WHEN DRAIN CLEANING CANNOT WAIT
Clogged drains are one of the most common calls we take across Portland — and one of the easiest to make worse with the wrong approach. Store-bought chemical cleaners eat away at older galvanized and cast-iron pipe, turning a simple clog into a corrosion problem
Slow Draining
Water sits or drains slower than it used to in a sink, tub, or shower.
Gurgling Sounds
Air trapped behind a clog makes a gurgling noise as water drains.
Recurring Clogs
The same drain backs up again within days of clearing it yourself.
Sewer Odors
Persistent bad smells near a drain point to trapped debris further down.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
We clear the clog and check for the underlying cause, so you're not calling us back for the same drain next month.
HOW IT ACTUALLY WORKS
The same sequence whether you call at nine in the morning or three in the morning.
You call, a person answers
You describe the problem and the dispatcher works out whether this is a drain cleaning job that needs someone now or one that can take a same-day slot. That triage happens on the first call, not after a callback.
A licensed plumber is dispatched
The nearest available plumber is sent with your address and a real ETA. You get their name before they arrive.
Diagnosis before a price
Drain Cleaning starts with finding the actual cause rather than the obvious symptom. Clogged drains are one of the most common calls we take across Portland — and one of the easiest to make worse with the wrong approach
Flat, upfront quote
You get the price in writing before any work begins. If the scope changes once things are open, the plumber stops and re-quotes rather than adding to the invoice.
The work, and what prevents a repeat
The repair is completed and you are told what caused it, so the same failure does not bring us back in six weeks.
WHAT IT COSTS
Flat and upfront, quoted before the work starts. The hour of the day does not change the number.
| Job | Typical Range | When |
|---|---|---|
| Clear a drain clog | $130–$450 | Same rate, any hour |
| Main line clearing | $250–$800 | Same rate, any hour |
