Second opinion on a quote to dig up our whole sewer line. They cameraed it, found one bad section, and lined it for a fraction. Saved us thousands.

Drain Cleaning in Altoona, Iowa
Most Altoona homeowners call about a drain twice: once when it is slow, and once when it has flooded the floor. We would rather take the first call. Our trucks carry sectional cables for branch lines and a trailer jetter for main lines, so a Altoona clog gets the right tool the first visit rather than a return trip.
Call (833) 435-9778 and describe what is happening. We will give you an arrival window before you hang up and a flat price before anyone starts work - the same price at 2am as at 2pm.

When to call us in Altoona
- Sink or tub drains slowly, or empties then gurgles
- Two fixtures back up at once - a sign the main line is involved
- Water rises in the shower when the toilet is flushed
- A sewage smell around a floor drain or basement
- Repeated clogs in the same fixture after store-bought cleaner
- Water backing up into a laundry tub during a wash cycle
What the visit covers
- Cable or jetter chosen for the line, not whatever is on the truck
- Cleanout used where one exists so fixtures stay untouched
- Camera pass after clearing on main line work
- Grease, root and scale build-up removed rather than punched through
- Drop cloths down and the work area wiped before we leave
- Straight answer on whether the line needs repair, not just cleaning
Tree roots and the front yard
Mature trees are one of the nicer things about older Altoona streets and one of the harder things on sewer lines. Roots do not break into a sound pipe - they find a joint that has already opened slightly and then widen it. Cutting them buys a season; lining the pipe ends it.

Bought an older house and had them scope the sewer before closing. Found roots in two joints. We used the video to negotiate the repair into the sale. Best money I spent on that purchase.

Two bathrooms remodelled and they did all the rough-in. Inspector had nothing to say, which apparently is the highest compliment available.

Drain Cleaning in Altoona: common questions
How much does drain cleaning cost in Altoona?
A branch line - kitchen, bath or laundry - is usually the lower end of our range, and a main line through a cleanout sits above it. You get the exact number for your Altoona home before we start, and it does not move if the job runs long.
Will a store-bought drain cleaner work first?
Occasionally, on a light hair clog. On grease or roots it rarely does, and repeated use sits caustic liquid against your pipe joints. If a bottle has not fixed it, tell us you used one so we can protect ourselves when we open the line.
Do you clean drains the same day in Altoona?
Yes, most Altoona drain calls are cleared the day you ring. If your only toilet or your kitchen is out of action we treat it as an emergency and move you up the schedule.
Why does my drain keep clogging?
Recurring clogs usually mean the problem is the pipe, not the debris - a belly holding water, a root intrusion, or scale narrowing an old galvanised line. Our camera pass tells you which, so you stop paying to clear the same line twice a year.
Do you serve the smaller towns around Altoona?
We do. Our Altoona coverage extends through the surrounding communities, and we run across the whole state, so being outside the city limits does not mean waiting longer or paying a travel premium.
