Drain Cleaning in Detroit

A sink that drains slowly, a tub that backs up or a basement floor drain that gurgles all point to a clog somewhere. We clear the line and, when the cause is unclear, look inside it with a camera.

We take drain calls in Detroit and the other cities on the homepage.

Drains we clear

Sinks, tubs and showers

Soap scum, grease and loose hair gather in the trap and the section beyond it. We pull out the clog, then test the fixture with running water so you know it empties freely.

Kitchen lines

Fat and bits of food can coat the inside of a kitchen drain until nothing gets through. We open the line, and we can tell you if the slowdown points to a problem deeper in the pipe.

Floor drains and laundry standpipes

Basement floor drains and the standpipe behind a washer carry a lot of water at once. When one overflows, the stoppage may be in the branch line or in the main.

Camera checks

Roots, cracks, sags and collapses stay hidden inside a pipe until someone looks. We send a camera down the line, and what it shows decides between clearing the line and repairing it.

When the floor drain rises in a heavy rain

Water that comes up through a basement floor drain during a storm points past the drain itself. The City of Detroit’s advice for basement backups is to install a backwater valve, a sump pump or both where necessary, and we can talk those through when you call.

When the clog is past your walls

If the camera shows the problem in the sewer line leaving the house, clearing may only be temporary. Sewer repairs have their own page, along with the Detroit permit that goes with them.
