Drains We Clean
Every Type of Drain
One Drain or the Whole House?
Is It One Drain or the Main Line?
Almost always a clog in that drain's branch line. We snake it out and you're done.
When the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry are all slow, the problem is in the main drain or sewer line — not individual drains.
That's a main line backup. Stop using all water and call us right away. If water is rising, see our emergency plumber page.
Air from a blocked main line getting pushed back up. This is a main line problem, not a toilet problem.
Professional Approach
Tried Drain Cleaner and Plunging — Still Clogged?
Store-bought drain cleaners work on some surface-level clogs, but they don't reach further in the line and can damage older plastic pipe with repeated use. If the plunger didn't work, here's what we do differently.
Our cable machines and water jetters reach much further into the line and clear blockages that a plunger or store-bought auger can't touch.
For drains that keep coming back, a camera shows us what's causing it — roots, a crack, a sag or just buildup. See our sewer line services page.
For heavy grease buildup and recurring root problems in main lines, high pressure water cleans the inside of the pipe completely. See our hydro jetting service.
For main lines where roots are the problem, we cut them out. Jetting or lining keeps them from coming back as fast.
Camera and Cleanouts
No Cleanout? Drains That Keep Clogging?
No sewer cleanout in your home
A cleanout is an access point on the main drain line that lets us snake or camera the line without pulling a toilet. Many older Tigard homes were built without one. We can install a cleanout so that future service is faster and cheaper.
Same drain clogs every few months
That means something in the line is causing it — roots growing through a joint, a crack, a partial sag or a narrowing from years of buildup. Clearing it again temporarily works, but a camera inspection shows what's really going on. From there, a repair or a hydro jet cleaning is usually the right fix.
Drain leak inside the wall or under the slab
A slow drain can sometimes be a drain line leak that's letting water out before it reaches the sewer. If we suspect a leak, we can inspect it. For slab leaks see our pipe installation and repair service.
Kitchen grease buildup
Grease sticks to the inside of kitchen drain lines and builds up slowly over years. On the kitchen branch line, a cable machine usually clears it. On the main line, hydro jetting works better — it scrubs the walls clean.

Local Knowledge
Drains in Tigard: What to Know
Tree roots are Tigard's biggest drain problem
Tigard's mature trees find their way into sewer and drain lines through joints and cracks. Once inside, they grow into a net that catches toilet paper and grease. This is the most common cause of repeat clogs in the area.
Clay soil and older pipe materials
Many homes in Tigard have clay or cast iron drain lines that are 40 to 60 years old. These have more joints, are more susceptible to root entry and are more likely to crack from ground movement.
Leaves and outdoor drains
Tigard's wet season is long and comes with a lot of leaves. Yard drains and French drains can block quickly in fall and winter. Keeping them clear prevents pooling and foundation issues.
Who's responsible for what
The drains inside your house are yours. The main sewer line from your house to the city main is yours. The city main itself is the city's. If a backup reaches the city main, we'll tell you and you can contact Tigard Public Works.
Prevention
How to Keep Drains Clear
Hair is the number one cause of bathroom drain clogs. A $5 screen pays for itself many times over.
Grease cools and hardens in the pipe, building up year after year. Wipe pans with a paper towel before washing.
Wipes labeled "flushable" often aren't. Paper towels, wipes, cotton and hygiene products clog toilets and main lines.
Flushing the kitchen drain with hot water after doing dishes helps push grease further down the line before it can cool and stick.
