Backflow test on our irrigation system. Booked it, did it, filed the paperwork, sent me the copy. Zero hassle.

Drain Cleaning in Des Moines, Iowa
Most Des Moines 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 Des Moines 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 Des Moines
- 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
Water pressure worth checking
A lot of Des Moines homes run higher static pressure than they should, and high pressure quietly shortens the life of every valve, supply line and water heater in the house. It is a cheap thing to measure and an inexpensive thing to correct with a pressure reducing valve.

Des Moines customers on our drain cleaning work
★★★★★
Hot water ran out after one shower. Sediment had taken half the tank. Flush and a new anode rod and it has been fine for two years.

New disposal and a dishwasher connection that the last installer had done wrong. Fixed both, and pointed out the wrong one rather than quietly leaving it.

Drain Cleaning in Des Moines: common questions
How much does drain cleaning cost in Des Moines?
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 Des Moines 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 Des Moines?
Yes, most Des Moines 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 have a plumber available in Des Moines right now?
Almost always. Our Des Moines line is answered around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (833) 435-9778 and we will tell you honestly how soon a truck can be at your address rather than giving you a vague window.
