In addition to unplugging clogs we can power wash the inside of your pipes with our special jetting system. Most likely you’re visiting our site because one of your drains isn’t flowing well…or at all. NE Drain Cleaning works on all internal home drains. That means your kitchen, bathroom, laundry, basement floor, and any other pipe that leads to your main sewer pipe that then goes out to the stree
t. We do not deal with tree root problems that occur between the house and the street. Because we concentrate on in-house drains, where the majority of problems happen, we don’t have to carry around large and expensive root cutting augers. This means that we can provide NE and nearby residents with very cost effective drain cleaning services. Our charges are based by the hour while at your home, not by each pipe or drain we clean, like you may see being promoted. We will not advertise to clean any one drain for a cheap price and then when we get there tell you that your clogged drain is connected to another drain pipe that also needs to be done so the price will be double…or even triple…what we advertised. We live Northeast and we care about our neighbor relationships. Most clogged drains can be punched through for just $75.00, this covers up to one hour of time. If more time is needed for your problem, we bill you in 15 minute increments at a base rate of $60.00 per hour. If there is excessive build up of material around the inside of the pipe walls or drain we will recommend jetting the pipes as well. This process is pressure washing the inside of the pipes to open them up as far as possible and flushing the debris to your main drain pipe. The need for this process is most common in older homes with metal pipes. Other scenarios that can raise the cost of a drain cleaning job are as follows.
- Excessive grease and hair. This mostly happens in the kitchen drain pipes when people dump bacon grease, or other liquefied fat down the sink. The fat solidifies about 10-15 feet down the drain pipe and eventually closes the pipe completely with a very long and thick clog. I have dealt with clogs over three feet long caused by grease, food, and hair. These types of clogs have to be snaked with a cable and jetted. Washing your hair in the kitchen sink compounds the problem. You also get a lot of solid build up problems in the laundry tub when the clothes washer drains into it without a drain catch for fabric debris. Small bits of fabric build up over time along the walls of the pipe, slowly closing the drain.
- Pipes that are so old and rusted that the drain cleaning snake breaks through the last bit of remaining pipe and the pipes have to be replaced.
- P-Traps under the sink are so old and damaged that when you take them apart they fall apart. This is very common with any older metal P-Trap.
- Rusted in place clean out plugs. Many older homes have cast iron drain pipes, and the last time these access plugs were removed was many many years ago. What happens is they rust into place and break off when being removed. I mention these things because we want you to be an informed customer when it comes to someone working on your drains. The last thing we want is problems, or you thinking we are trying to jack you around. If you would like to hire us to get your drains draining, please call John Schulte at 612-708-2781
