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.

Drain Cleaning in Clear Lake, Iowa
A drain that empties slowly is telling you something well before it stops entirely. In Clear Lake we clear kitchen lines packed with grease, laundry standpipes fouled with lint and soap, and main sewer lines choked by tree roots that found a joint in the clay. The cable or the jetter clears it; the camera tells you whether it will come back.
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.

- 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
Winter splits pipes in the same places every year
The runs that fail in Clear Lake are predictable: supply lines in exterior walls, anything crossing an unheated crawl space, and hose bibs left connected in November. Ice rarely bursts the pipe where it forms - it bursts it downstream where the pressure has nowhere to go, which is why the damage often shows up somewhere that never froze.

They installed a new 50 gallon heater and hauled the old one away same visit. Took about three hours start to finish and the expansion tank was included, which the other quote had left off.

Emergency call for a burst pipe in a commercial unit. They stabilised it that night and came back to do the permanent repair when we were closed.

Drain Cleaning in Clear Lake: common questions
How much does drain cleaning cost in Clear Lake?
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 Clear Lake 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 Clear Lake?
Yes, most Clear Lake 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 work on commercial properties in Clear Lake?
Yes. Restaurants, salons, clinics, offices, churches and multi-tenant buildings across Clear Lake. We schedule outside trading hours at no extra cost so a repair does not cost you a day of business.
