Our Emergency Drain Cleaning Process
When you call Plumbing Express for an emergency drain cleaning service, you can expect a seamless and professional experience from start to finish. Here’s what our process looks like:
Immediate Dispatch
As soon as we receive your call, we dispatch a licensed plumber to your location. Our 24/7 availability ensures that we can respond at any time of the day or night.
Thorough Inspection and Diagnosis
Upon arrival, our technician will conduct a thorough inspection of your drainage system to identify the root cause of the problem. We may use a video inspection camera to get a clear view of the inside of your pipes, allowing us to pinpoint the exact location and nature of the blockage.
Effective and Efficient Cleaning
Based on the diagnosis, we will implement the most effective cleaning method. For severe clogs, we often recommend hydro jetting, which uses high-pressure water to blast away debris, grease, and tree roots, leaving your pipes clean and clear.
Preventative Advice
After resolving the immediate issue, our plumber will provide you with expert advice on how to prevent future drain emergencies. We believe in empowering our customers with the knowledge they need to maintain a healthy plumbing system.
Common Drain Emergencies We Handle
Our team is equipped to handle a wide range of drain emergencies. No matter the size or complexity of the problem, we have the expertise to provide a lasting solution. Some of the common emergencies we address include:
Kitchen and Bathroom Sink Clogs
Grease, food particles, hair, and soap scum can build up over time, leading to stubborn clogs that require professional attention.
Toilet Clogs and Overflows
A clogged toilet can be a messy and stressful problem. We can quickly and hygienically resolve the issue, ensuring your toilet is functioning properly.
Main Sewer Line Clogs
A blockage in your main sewer line can cause sewage to back up into your home, creating a hazardous situation. We can quickly clear the blockage and restore proper flow.
Shower and Bathtub Drains
Slow-draining showers and tubs are a common nuisance. We can effectively remove the buildup of hair and soap residue to restore proper drainage.
Floor Drain Backups
Basements and garages often have floor drains that can back up, leading to flooding and water damage. We can clear these drains and help you prevent future backups.
Advanced Drain Cleaning Technology for Fast Results
At Plumbing Express, we utilize cutting-edge technology to deliver superior results. Our advanced equipment allows us to tackle even the toughest drain problems with ease.
Hydro Jetting Services
For severe or recurring clogs, hydro jetting is the most effective solution. This method uses a high-pressure stream of water (up to 4,000 PSI) to scour the inside of your pipes, removing years of accumulated grease, scale, tree roots, and other debris. Hydro jetting is not only highly effective but also safe for your pipes and environmentally friendly.
Video Camera Inspection
Our video inspection cameras allow us to see exactly what’s going on inside your pipes. This non-invasive technology helps us accurately diagnose the problem without any guesswork. By identifying the exact location and cause of the blockage, we can implement the most targeted and effective solution, saving you time and money on unnecessary repairs.
Preventative Maintenance to Avoid Future Emergencies
While we are always here to help in an emergency, we also believe in the importance of preventative maintenance. Regular drain cleaning can help you avoid costly and stressful emergencies down the road. We offer comprehensive drain maintenance plans to keep your plumbing system in optimal condition. Our preventative services include regular inspections, cleaning, and expert advice on how to maintain your drains.

Service couldn’t be completed due to needing a new system. We appreciate the very informative visit as well as insight that could help after a new unit install.
Plumbing Express was great. I had a failed sump pump that had partially overflowed into the basement. Nasty. Josh was the tech that did the work. He was efficient, neat and courteous. I will use Plumbing Express if I have any other plumbing needs and I will recommend them to my family and friends.
The technician was very knowledgeable and professional. I believe they did a very good job.
Ron was our second plumber from this company. The first plumber came, examined pipes and said he found no leak, even though we had experiences a large amount of water leaking from the ceiling in the finished basement. Several days later we had another leak-same area but less water the second time. Ron came in, listened to our frustration and did a more thorough inspection of the pipes and identified the problem. He was very personable and professional. On his third visit, we had several replacement pipes installed and are without leaks again. Our frustration, with the situation, was my son had used your company to replace pipes when he purchased the home and founding out not all the pipes were included with that process.
Tim arrived on time and was very professional. He took his time to explain the problem and the process it would take fix the water line.
Called Plumbing Express as tankless hot water not operating. Their website states "Get Free Plumbing Quote ". When service man showed up an looked at unit he said there would be a $207 charge to look into unit in order to give me a quote to fix unit. Due to not having hot water and time required to get another company to address the problem I agreed to pay $207 for quote. After looking in unit I was told he would not be able to fix due to age of unit and parts not available. I think he should have said parts not available when seeing model number on front of unit and I would not have wasted $207.
Outstanding customer service, we will definitely be using them in the future for any plumbing needs. Can’t thank them enough!
Extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. The team was excellent. The job was completed in 1 day with a great team. Very expressive.
Daniel Perez was great in coming out to check the problem I had with a water leak from my air conditioner line. His recommendation was correct.
Great and informative service while I was in a bind without a functioning water heater.
Plumbing Express is my go-to plumbing support team. They have fair pricing, well-vetted technicians, and a truly exceptional scheduling system. Rod, my technician, was the best. He quickly assessed the problem and gave a fair estimate, working hard to keep to the schedule. He even brought Josh along on the day of service, and the two of them worked well together. They addressed the bathtub drain repair with expertise and caused the least sheetrock damage. It was difficult to replace the broken pipe and get to the upstairs drain, but together they made it a success.
Daniel did a great job and was very professional during his service call last week!
Rod and Josh did an awesome job taking care of my clogged sinks. Knowledgable, professional and great to work with - I really appreciated their help today and would highly recommend them and Plumbing Express!
Daniel was excellent. The work he did was simply superb. I highly recommend your company and hopefully Daniel will get more and more work
Dylan from Plumbing Express came over and replaced our garbage disposal for us. It was older, had a massive leak, and needed to be replaced. He did a great job and was in and out in about 30 minutes! I also asked him to check out a potential leak I had been hearing in my ceiling. He used a thermal camera to investigate and was very honest and upfront about what he found. Rather than immediately cutting into the drywall to confirm something uncertain, he explained that the sound could simply be pipes expanding and that opening the wall might be unnecessary. He recommended monitoring the area and waiting to see if a wet spot appears, which would clearly indicate an actual leak. I really appreciated that he didn’t try to upsell or push unnecessary work. Overall, great service and a great guy. They will definitely be our go-to plumbing service from now on.
Once again we had some problems under our kitchen sink so we called Plumbing Express who were able to get us on their schedule pretty quickly after these storms Tim Robinson came out to do the job. Tim has been to our house for a number of different plumbing problems. He is personable & professional. As usual he did a great job even though this particular problem turned out to be far more difficult than anyone had expected. As frustrating as it was, Tim worked through it until he finished the job. We can't thank him enough.
Anthony was very competent, professional and friendly. He answered all my questions throughly. Highly recommend!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Emergency Drain Cleaning
How do I know if I have a drain emergency?
Signs of a drain emergency include water backing up out of your drains, multiple clogged drains at once, foul odors coming from your drains, and gurgling sounds. If you experience any of these issues, it’s best to call a professional plumber immediately.
How much does emergency drain cleaning cost?
The cost of emergency drain cleaning can vary depending on the severity and location of the clog. At Plumbing Express, we provide transparent, upfront pricing before any work begins, so you’ll know the exact cost.
Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners?
We do not recommend using chemical drain cleaners. These products can be corrosive and damage your pipes over time. They are also often ineffective against severe clogs and can be harmful to your health and the environment. It’s always best to call a professional for safe and effective drain cleaning.
How can I prevent drain clogs?
You can prevent drain clogs by being mindful of what you put down your drains. Avoid pouring grease, coffee grounds, and other food scraps down your kitchen sink. In the bathroom, use a hair strainer in your shower and tub drains and avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper down the toilet. Regular professional drain cleaning is also a great way to prevent future clogs.
What is the difference between drain snaking and hydro jetting?
Drain snaking, or augering, is a traditional method that uses a cable to break up a clog. While it can be effective for minor clogs, it doesn’t always remove the entire blockage. Hydro jetting, on the other hand, uses a high-pressure stream of water to thoroughly clean the inside of your pipes, removing all debris and buildup. It is a more comprehensive and long-lasting solution.
