Very Professional and Polite,
24/7 Clogged Drain Relief From Local Pros
Drains back up at the worst times, right before school, during dinner rush, or late at night. Our Kentwood team answers the phone around the clock and rolls a fully stocked truck to your door. We start with fast diagnostics, isolate the bad line, and protect nearby fixtures so dirty water stays contained. A cable snake breaks through heavy obstructions; then we flush the line to confirm clear flow. For multi-fixture backups or floor drains pushing water, we check the main and the sewer cleanout, not just the closest sink. You stay informed at each step with plain language and photo or video proof. Most calls end in one visit because our techs carry multiple cable heads, jet nozzles, and repair parts. That means less downtime for your home or business and a cleaner, safer space by the time we leave.
Hydro Jetting That Restores Pipe Capacity
Grease, scale, soap film, and fine grit don’t always budge with a standard snake. Hydro jetting blasts high-pressure water along the full pipe circumference to scour buildup and flush it out to the sewer. That deep clean restores the pipe’s inner diameter so waste and water move freely again. We match the nozzle and pressure to your pipe size and material, then jet in measured passes so we clean without risk. Restaurants and busy kitchens love the results in 2- to 3-inch lines; homeowners see the same benefit in main sewers with long histories of partial clogs. After jetting, we run a camera to confirm clean walls and smooth joints. You get a before-and-after view and simple care tips, like enzyme dosing for kitchens or lint filter upgrades for laundry drains, to keep that capacity longer.
Kitchen, Bath, Laundry, and Main Sewer Lines, Handled Right
Every fixture tells a story. Kitchen sinks clog with fats and starches; showers collect hair and product residue; laundry lines trap lint and fabric fibers; main sewers struggle with wipes and roots. Our plumbers tailor the fix to the fixture and material. In kitchens, we clear the p-trap, cable the branch line, and degrease the run so the sink drains fast again. In baths, we recover hair clumps, scrub the tub shoe, and set you up with strainers that actually work. Laundry drains get a lint trap recommendation that saves you future service calls. For main lines, we locate the cleanout, relieve pressure safely, cable with the right cutter head, and jet if buildup remains. That targeted approach solves the symptom and the source so the same clog doesn’t circle back next month.
Video Camera Inspections and Plain-Language Reports
Guesswork wastes time and doesn’t help you plan. Our HD cameras travel the pipe to spot breaks, bellies, scale rings, offsets, and root intrusions. On many jobs we combine camera work with a locator to mark exact depth and position in your yard or basement slab. You see the live feed on-site and receive a shareable video link with notes that anyone can understand. That documentation supports warranty parts, insurance claims from backup damage, or future trenchless repair planning. Most important, it builds trust. You don’t just hear that a pipe needs extra work, you see the crack, the offset, or the root mat, and you choose the next step with full context.
Preventive Care That Fits Your Home or Business
Kentwood homes and storefronts run on schedules. Preventive drain care keeps them on track. We build simple plans around your usage: spring kitchen line service before grilling season, late-fall mainline checks before freeze-thaw swings, or quarterly service for food service operations. Plans may include enzyme treatments for grease control, periodic jetting of known problem runs, and annual camera checks on older clay or cast-iron sewers. We also tune small details that matter: high-quality strainers for tubs and showers, proper garbage disposal habits, and laundry lint filters that actually catch fibers. You gain fewer emergencies, cleaner fixtures, and a clear record of maintenance you can hand to a future buyer or landlord.
