Every Type of Drain

We Clear Every Kind of Clog

Kitchen sinks to main sewer lines — including descaling, ejector pump service, sewer replacement, and trenchless pipe lining.

Kitchen Sink Drains

Grease and cooking oils cool, congeal, and form sludge that blocks kitchen drains — we clear it completely, not just enough to trickle.

Bathroom, Shower & Tub Drains

Hair and soap scum bind into dense clumps that cling to pipe walls — we snake or jet the line and leave your bathroom draining properly.

Toilet Clogs

Stubborn flush or a full backup — we diagnose and clear the blockage quickly, even when it's deep past the trap.

Main Sewer Line Backups

When the main line backs up, every drain is affected — we respond fast, camera-inspect to find the cause, and clear it the same day.

Hydro Jetting

Water up to 4,000 PSI scours grease, mineral scale, and root tendrils — water-only, eco-friendly, and ideal for recurring clogs or preventive maintenance.

Sewer Camera Inspection

A waterproof camera streams live footage of your pipes — exact location, exact cause — so you get clear answers before we recommend any work.

The Right Tool for Every Clog

How We Clear Your Drains — The Right Way

We diagnose first, then choose the method that clears the drain and keeps it clear.

Drain Snaking / Augering

A professional-grade cable breaks through or pulls out most household clogs quickly and gently. For blockages within the first 25–50 feet of a drain, it's typically the right first move.

Sewer Camera Inspection

A waterproof camera streams live video showing exactly where the blockage is and what's causing it — grease, scale, roots, or a cracked pipe. You see it; then we fix it.

Hydro Jetting

Water up to 4,000 PSI scours the full pipe interior — not just a punched hole through the clog — removing grease, mineral scale, and root fibers. Water-only, no chemicals; for recurring clogs and main sewer lines, results last years, not weeks.

Pipe Repair & Replacement

When cleaning isn't enough, we walk you through your options: traditional open-trench repair or trenchless pipe lining and bursting — minimal digging, yard preserved.

Don't Ignore These

Signs You Have a Clogged Drain

Acting early can mean the difference between a quick snake job and a costly sewer backup.

  • Water draining slowly from sinks, tubs, or showers
  • Water backing up or overflowing from a drain
  • Gurgling or bubbling sounds from pipes or other fixtures
  • Multiple fixtures clogged or slow at the same time
  • Foul sewer odors coming from drains
  • The lowest drains in your home backing up first
Seeing multiple symptoms at once? That's almost always a sign of a main sewer line problem — not just a single clogged drain. Call us right away before it backs up further.

Root Causes

What Causes Clogged Drains?

Knowing the cause helps you prevent clogs — and helps us pick the fastest fix when prevention wasn't enough.

Hair

Hair binds with soap into dense clumps that cling to pipe walls and grow thicker with every shower.

Grease, Fats & Oils (FOG)

Grease poured hot cools, solidifies, and sticks to pipe walls — building up silently until the drain stops.

Food Waste

Coffee grounds, eggshells, rice, and fibrous scraps get ground by disposals but accumulate in the drain — a common cause of kitchen clogs.

Soap Scum & Mineral Buildup

Soap residue combined with NJ's hard water leaves mineral deposits inside pipe walls that gradually narrow the flow.

Tree Root Intrusion

Roots infiltrate tiny cracks in sewer lines and grow into dense masses that block flow and damage the pipe.

Other Structural Causes

Collapsed pipes, offset joints, corroded cast-iron lines, and buildup from aging galvanized plumbing can all cause chronic drainage problems. A camera inspection is the only way to know for sure.

Common Questions

Drain Cleaning FAQs

How much does drain cleaning cost in New Jersey?
Cost depends on where the clog is, how severe it is, and the method needed. Snaking a bathroom drain is simpler — and cheaper — than hydro jetting a main sewer line. PlumbWell gives you upfront flat-rate pricing and a free quote before any work begins. No surprises, no hidden fees.
What's the difference between snaking and hydro jetting?
Snaking uses a flexible cable to break through or pull out a clog — fast and effective for most routine blockages. Hydro jetting goes further: a high-pressure water stream up to 4,000 PSI scours the entire pipe interior, blasting away grease, mineral scale, and root debris. Snaking punches a hole through the obstruction; jetting cleans the pipe walls. For recurring clogs or main sewer buildup, hydro jetting delivers far longer-lasting results.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?
Store-bought drain cleaners can corrode pipes — especially older cast-iron or PVC lines — and they typically only partially dissolve a clog, so it returns quickly. Snaking and hydro jetting are safer for your pipes, more effective at fully clearing the line, and better for the environment.
How do I know if it's a main sewer line clog and not just one drain?
The telltale sign is multiple fixtures backing up at the same time. If the toilet gurgles when you run the sink, water backs into the tub when you flush, or the lowest drains overflow first, you almost certainly have a main sewer line blockage — a plumbing emergency. PlumbWell can inspect and clear your main line the same day.
Can you actually see what's wrong inside my pipes?
Yes. We use a waterproof sewer camera to view your pipes in real time. It pinpoints the exact location and cause of any blockage or damage — grease buildup, root intrusion, cracked pipe, or collapsed section. You'll know what we found before we recommend any work.
How can I prevent clogged drains in the future?
Keep grease and oils out of kitchen drains (cool them and trash them), use a hair catcher in shower and tub drains, and avoid flushing anything besides toilet paper. Skip coffee grounds, eggshells, rice, and fibrous foods in the disposal — all notorious drain-cloggers. For persistent sewer line issues, periodic hydro jetting is the gold standard for keeping pipes clear year after year.
