Drain and Plumbing Service Bothell WA Drain and Plumbing Service Bothell WA clears clogs in kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs and showers, laundry lines, floor drains and main sewer lines (the side sewer) for homes and businesses across Bothell, including Downtown Bothell, Canyon Park, North Creek, Thrashers Corner, Tambark Creek, Westhill and Fitzgerald.
The right method depends on the clog. A hair-and-soap blockage in a bathroom sink is a different job from grease and roots in a main line, so we find out where the problem is and what is causing it before choosing between a cable machine, hydro jetting and a camera inspection.
A cable machine, the tool behind most rooter service, spins a cable through the pipe to break up or pull out a blockage. It suits many sink, tub and floor-drain clogs and some main-line stoppages.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour grease, scale and root buildup off the pipe wall, which is why it is often used when a line keeps clogging after it has been cabled. Not sure which you need? Read hydro jetting vs. snaking.
At home, we clear kitchen, bathroom and laundry drains, floor drains and main sewer lines. Commercial properties such as restaurants, shops, offices and multi-unit buildings often need drains cleaned on a regular schedule to keep grease and debris from building up, and we can recommend a maintenance interval after looking at the lines.

Prevention recommendations
When grease, scale or roots keep clogs coming back, jetting cleans the pipe wall instead of only opening a path through the blockage.
A sewer camera inspection shows what is causing repeat clogs and whether the pipe itself is damaged.
If the camera finds a cracked, sagging or root-damaged sewer line, trenchless repair can fix the pipe without a long trench.
We proudly serve Bothell and surrounding areas:
The cost depends on which drain is clogged, how severe the blockage is, the method needed (cable machine, hydro jetting or both) and how easy the line is to reach through a cleanout. We provide a free estimate before work begins.
Rooter service is a common local name for cleaning a drain with a rotating cable machine. Drain cleaning is the broader term and also includes hydro jetting and camera inspection.
A drain that clogs repeatedly usually has more than a simple blockage: buildup on the pipe wall, tree roots, a sagging section or a damaged joint can all catch debris again. A camera inspection shows which it is, and hydro jetting can clean the pipe wall.
They can open a simple clog, but they do not remove grease and scale from the pipe wall, they can be harsh on some pipes and they are hazardous to handle. If a clog does not clear, stop using them and tell the plumber what you used.
If several fixtures drain slowly or back up at the same time, especially the lowest drains in the house, the main sewer line (side sewer) is a likely cause. Stop using water and call us; see our guide on who is responsible for the side sewer in Bothell.
