  • When blockages require mechanical cutting action, our electric drain machines provide the power and control needed for effective clearing. We stock various cable thicknesses and specialized cutting heads for different pipe sizes and obstruction types, making our equipment particularly effective for root cutting, solidified waste removal, and breaking through compacted debris. Our technicians carry augers specifically designed for toilet clogs, providing effective clearing without scratching porcelain or damaging wax seals, while appropriately-sized hand and power augers navigate traps and bends in sink, tub, and shower drains to safely remove hair clogs, soap buildup, and foreign objects.

  • Our industrial-strength hydro-jetting equipment delivers concentrated water pressure that obliterates grease accumulation, mineral deposits, sludge, and invasive tree roots from your pipes. This method cleans the entire interior diameter of your pipes, not just creating a hole through the blockage. The result is dramatically improved flow and longer intervals between cleanings. Our mobile jetting trailer handles the largest sewer lines serving multi-unit buildings and commercial properties across Tacoma, University Place, and Lakewood, providing cleaning power unmatched by standard equipment.

  • Our video camera inspections reveal pipe condition and blockage causes with precision. This technology allows us to see exactly what's happening inside your drain lines, identify the root cause of problems, and verify complete clearing after service. We use this diagnostic information to recommend the most effective cleaning method and provide documentation of your system's condition, helping you make informed decisions about maintenance and repairs.

Why Tacoma Property Owners Choose Our Drain Services

Tacoma's diverse housing stock—from Enumclaw homes to modern developments in South Hill—presents varied plumbing challenges. Our plumbers bring decades of combined experience working with all ages and types of drain systems found throughout Pierce County. We understand how Tacoma's clay soil affects sewer lines and how older galvanized pipes behave differently than modern PVC systems.

Comprehensive Pierce County Coverage

We serve the entire Tacoma metropolitan area including Fircrest, Ruston, Steilacoom, and surrounding Pierce County communities. Our strategic location enables rapid response times, with most emergency calls receiving service within hours rather than days.

Preventive Drain Maintenance Plans

Regular maintenance is more cost-effective than emergency repairs. Our maintenance programs include scheduled drain cleaning to prevent backups before they happen, video inspections to monitor pipe condition, and priority scheduling for program members. This proactive approach is especially valuable for older Tacoma homes with aging plumbing systems.

Restaurant & Commercial Drain Services

Tacoma's vibrant restaurant scene and industrial sector depend on properly functioning drains. We provide specialized commercial plumbing services, including grease trap installations, high-volume floor drain maintenance, and scheduled service during closed hours. Our commercial-grade equipment handles demanding applications from 6th Avenue eateries to Port of Tacoma industrial facilities.

Recognizing When You Need Drain Cleaning

Frequent plunger use, water backing up into other fixtures, slow drainage throughout your home, and persistent sewage smells all indicate significant buildup in your drain system requiring professional intervention. Multiple fixtures draining slowly simultaneously often points to main sewer line blockage rather than individual fixture problems. Tacoma's older infrastructure and tree-lined streets make root intrusion a common issue—proactive cleaning removes roots before they cause complete blockages or pipe damage. Our courteous technicians respect your home, using protective coverings and cleaning up thoroughly after completing work, leaving you with smoothly flowing drains and no mess.
