$33 Drain Clearing, Camera Inspection Included
Right now any single kitchen, bath, or laundry drain is $33 to clear (normally $79), camera inspection of the line included. The offer is for Denver metro homes, and the drain must be accessible from a ground-level cleanout. Details are on our offers and coupons page.
Drains We Clear
- Kitchen sinks: grease, food scraps, and coffee grounds that get past the disposal and harden a few feet down the line.
- Bathroom sinks: hair, toothpaste, and soap scum caught on the pop-up stopper and in the trap.
- Tubs and showers: hair bound together with soap, the most common bathroom clog we clear.
- Toilets: wipes, too much paper, and the occasional toy. If the toilet itself is running, rocking, or leaking at the base, see our toilet repair service.
- Floor drains: basement and utility room drains that collect sediment, dry out and smell, or back up when the main line is slow.
- Laundry drains: washer lint builds up in the standpipe and the line behind it, which is why laundry drains tend to overflow in the middle of a cycle.
What Causes Clogs in Denver Homes
Grease is the top kitchen problem. It goes down warm, cools in the pipe, and catches everything that follows. Hair is the top bathroom problem, and it rarely clears with a plunger because it wraps around the stopper and trap.
"Flushable" wipes do not break down the way toilet paper does. They snag on rough spots in older cast iron and clay lines and build into a mat.
Denver metro water is moderately hard, and over the years the minerals leave scale on the inside of drain pipes. Scale narrows the line and gives grease and hair something to grip, so a drain that clogged once a decade can start clogging every year.
Why We Tell You to Skip the Chemical Drain Cleaner
Liquid drain openers work with caustic chemicals and heat. That can soften PVC joints, eat at older metal pipe, and damage the finish on sinks and tubs. When they fail, which is common with hair and grease, the chemical sits in the line until someone opens it. A plunger, a hand auger, or a service call costs less than a corroded drain line.
What the Camera Inspection Shows
After the line is clear, we run a camera through it and you see what we see: grease buildup, scale, a cracked or offset joint, a belly where water sits, or roots coming in at a joint. That tells you whether the clog was a one-time event or the line needs attention.
When a Clog Is Really a Main Line Problem
One slow drain is usually a branch line. Several drains slowing at once, water rising in the tub when the toilet flushes, gurgling from a floor drain, or dirty water coming up in the basement points to the main sewer line. That is a different job, and our sewer line cleaning and repair page explains how we find and fix it.
Plunge It or Call?
Try a plunger first on a single sink, tub, or toilet. Use a flat cup plunger for sinks and tubs and a flange plunger for toilets, and cover the overflow hole so the pressure goes down the drain. Call when plunging does not work, when the same drain clogs again within weeks, when more than one fixture is affected, or when anything comes up through a floor drain.
What to Expect on the Visit
A licensed and insured Warm Welcome plumber asks what you have noticed, then checks the fixture and the cleanout. You get an upfront price, and nothing starts until you approve it. The trip fee is $0 with repair. We clear the line, run the camera, show you the footage, and clean up before we leave.
Calls are answered 24/7, nights and weekends are the same rate, and we offer same-day service in most cases. We are family-owned, serving the Denver metro since 2006 from our Westminster shop at 9056 Marshall Ct and our Lakewood shop at 1677 Wadsworth Blvd. Book online or call (303) 725-0034.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does drain cleaning cost in Denver?
Right now we clear any single kitchen, bath, or laundry drain for $33 (normally $79), and a camera inspection of the line is included. The offer is for Denver metro homes, and the drain must be accessible from a ground-level cleanout. Main line clogs, multiple drains, and repairs are priced upfront, and you approve the price before any work starts.
Can I use Drano or liquid drain cleaner?
We do not recommend it. Caustic drain cleaners can soften PVC joints, corrode older metal pipe, and dull the finish on sinks and tubs, and they rarely dissolve hair or hardened grease. If you already poured one in and the drain is still clogged, tell your plumber before they open the line so they can work safely.
Why does my drain keep clogging?
A drain that clogs again and again usually has something in the line that catches debris: grease buildup, scale from hard water, a low spot that holds water, a damaged joint, or roots. Clearing the drain fixes the symptom. A camera inspection shows the cause, which is why we include one.
Do you offer same-day drain cleaning?
Yes, same-day in most cases. Calls are answered 24/7, and nights and weekends are the same rate as weekdays. Call (303) 725-0034 or book online.
What is included in the camera inspection?
After the drain is cleared, we run a camera through the line, show you the video, and explain what it shows: grease or scale buildup, damaged or offset joints, low spots that hold water, or roots. If something needs repair, you get the options and the price before any work starts.
What if the clog is in the main sewer line?
If several drains back up at once or water comes up through a floor drain, the clog is likely in the main line. We clear it with a cable machine or hydro jetting, run a camera to the street, and use a locator to mark any damage from the surface. You get an upfront price for the cleaning and for any repair before we start.
