• Kitchen drain cleaning for grease and food buildup
• Bathroom drain cleaning for hair and soap buildup

Not sure if you should try DIY first. Read this guide: When To Call A Drain Cleaning Service. It helps Shelby Township homeowners avoid damage from risky quick fixes.

Sewer Cleaning and Sewer Repair

If multiple drains back up at once, the issue is often in the main sewer line. Sewer problems can create odors, repeated backups, and unhealthy conditions. We provide sewer line cleaning and repair when needed.

Visit Sewer Cleaning and Repair for details.

• Main line snaking for blockages and root intrusion
• Solutions for recurring backups and slow draining across the home
• Recommendations based on symptoms and inspection results
• Clear next steps when repair or replacement is needed

Hydro Jetting for Heavy Buildup

Some blockages need more than a cable.
Hydro jetting uses high pressure water to clear heavy buildup and restore flow.
It works well for grease, sludge, and stubborn debris in drain and sewer lines.
Learn more on our Hydro Jetting page.

Fixture and Plumbing Repairs

Small problems waste water and become larger problems.
A running toilet, a dripping faucet, and a leaky shutoff valve all increase your bill and raise risk of damage.
