What is the average cost to unclog a drain?
In Phoenix, the average cost to unclog a drain is between $100 and $300, depending on the severity and location of the clog. A simple sink or shower drain may cost around $125, while toilet clogs or deeper blockages in the main line can run closer to $250 to $500, especially if advanced tools like hydro jetting are required.
Who to call if your drain is clogged?
If you’re dealing with a clogged drain in Phoenix, call a licensed plumbing company that specializes in drain cleaning and sewer services. Look for a local plumber that offers emergency service, video camera inspections, and advanced options like snaking and hydro jetting for stubborn blockages.
How do professionals unclog a drain?
Professional plumbers use several tools depending on the type of clog. For minor issues, a manual or motorized drain snake is often used. For deeper or tougher clogs, plumbers may use hydro jetting, which blasts the pipe with high-pressure water. If needed, a camera inspection is performed to identify the clog’s location and type.
Is Drano bad for pipes?
Yes, using Drano or similar chemical drain cleaners can damage your pipes over time. The harsh chemicals can weaken PVC or corrode older metal pipes, and they often only provide temporary relief without addressing the real problem. For repeated clogs, it’s safer to call a professional.
How long should it take a plumber to unclog a drain?
Most standard clogs can be cleared in 30 to 60 minutes. More severe blockages or those located in the main sewer line may take 1 to 2 hours, especially if hydro jetting or pipe inspection is needed. A trusted Phoenix plumber should give you a time estimate before starting the job.
How do I know if my main sewer line is clogged?
Warning signs of a main sewer line clog include:
Multiple slow or backed-up drains
Gurgling toilets
Water backing up in showers or tubs when flushing
Foul sewage odors
If you notice any of these, call for main line inspection and cleaning immediately—waiting can lead to a sewage backup inside your home.
Will a clogged drain go away on its own?
Usually, no—a clogged drain will not clear itself. In some cases, water may slowly drain, giving the illusion the problem is resolved, but the buildup will likely worsen over time. Ignoring a clog can lead to pipe damage or full backups. It's best to take care of it early.
How much is hydro jetting?
Hydro jetting in Phoenix typically costs between $350 and $700, depending on the length of the pipe and how severe the blockage is. While it’s more expensive than snaking, hydro jetting is highly effective for grease, sludge, and tree root removal and can restore your drains to like-new condition.
What to use instead of a drain snake?
If you don’t have a drain snake, you can try a plunger, wet/dry vacuum, or even a baking soda and vinegar mix followed by hot water. However, these are only effective for minor clogs. For anything deeper or persistent, a professional drain snake or hydro jet is required.
What do plumbers use to unblock drains?
Plumbers commonly use:
Drain snakes (manual or motorized)
Hydro jetting equipment
Video inspection cameras
Pipe locators
These tools allow them to not only clear the blockage but also identify and prevent future issues.
Should I buy a drain auger or call a plumber?
A small hand auger may help with minor sink or tub clogs, but if the issue keeps coming back or affects multiple drains, it’s smarter to call a plumber. Professional augers are more powerful, and a plumber can prevent pipe damage and future problems.
Can I unclog a drain myself?
Yes, you can try basic methods like a plunger, boiling water, or baking soda and vinegar for light clogs. A store-bought hand snake can work on shallow blockages. But if your DIY fix doesn’t work quickly—or you’re seeing recurring clogs—it’s time to bring in a professional.
Is hydro jetting better than snaking?
Yes, hydro jetting is more thorough than snaking. While a snake clears a path through the clog, hydro jetting completely cleans the pipe walls, removing grease, sludge, and even tree roots. It’s a great long-term solution, especially for commercial or heavily-used drains.
What is the best home remedy for a clogged drain?
A common home remedy involves pouring ½ cup baking soda, then ½ cup vinegar down the drain, covering it, and letting it sit for 15 minutes. Then flush with hot water. This can help with mild buildup, but it won’t fix deep or solid clogs like hairballs or grease blocks.
