Drain Cleaning in Fort Worth & DFW

Slow drains, backups, gurgles, smells. We snake, jet, or camera — whatever it actually takes to clear the line and tell you why it backed up.

About This Service

Drain cleaning is one of our most common service calls — and one where customers get the most overcharged elsewhere. We use the right tool for the job: a manual auger or motorized snake for typical clogs, a camera inspection if we need to see what's actually going on, and hydro jetting when grease, scale, or root intrusion calls for it. We don't push you to higher-cost methods if a basic snake will do.

What We Do

Drain Cleaning — what's included.

Kitchen sink drain clearing

Grease and food debris are the usual suspects. We snake the trap and drain, then talk to you about what likely caused it.

Bathroom sink, tub, and shower drains

Hair, soap scum, and the occasional missing earring. Quick, low-cost fixes when caught early.

Toilet clogs (when a plunger won't do it)

If a closet auger doesn't clear it, the obstruction is deeper in the line — we trace it back.

Main sewer line clearing

Whole-house backup, sewage coming up through floor drains or tubs. We snake the main line from a cleanout and run a camera if there's reason to.

Camera inspection & locating

Mounted camera with footage so you can see exactly what's in your pipes. We mark the surface location of breaks or obstructions when we find them.

Hydro jetting for grease, scale, roots

When snaking doesn't do it (or won't last), hydro jetting blasts the line clean. Best for restaurants, recurring backups, and root-intruded sewer mains.

Recurring-clog diagnostics

If you're calling someone every few months for the same drain, something's wrong. We figure out the underlying cause — venting, slope, root intrusion, broken pipe — instead of just clearing it again.

Why Paloma

What sets us apart on this service.

Right tool, not the most expensive tool

If a snake clears it, we snake it. We don't escalate to hydro jet just to charge more — but we will recommend it when it's the right call.

Camera if the problem is hidden

When you have a recurring main-line clog, we run a camera so you can see what's actually wrong instead of paying for the same snake job twice a year.

We don't use chemical drain cleaners

Drano and Liquid-Plumr eat your pipes, especially older cast iron and PVC connections. We've cleared plenty of clogs caused by chemical drain cleaner damage. We'll never recommend them.

FAQ

Drain Cleaning questions.

Should I just pour Drano down the drain?
Please don't. Chemical drain cleaners corrode pipes, damage cast iron joints, and ruin rubber seals. They also rarely solve the underlying problem — they just temporarily clear enough to keep water moving. A mechanical clearing (snake or jet) is safer and more effective.
What's the difference between snaking and hydro jetting?
A snake is a flexible cable with a cutting head that punches through clogs. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water (1500–4000 PSI) to scour the inside of the pipe clean. Snake is faster and cheaper for typical clogs. Jet is better for grease, scale, and roots — and for restoring a line to like-new flow.
Why does my drain keep clogging?
Could be food/grease/hair buildup (need a deeper clean), a venting problem (drains gurgle), tree root intrusion in the main line, a belly or break in the underground pipe, or improperly sloped drain piping. If you've had recurring clogs in the same drain, it's worth a camera inspection.
Do you offer same-day drain cleaning?
We try to whenever the schedule allows, Monday–Friday during business hours. Whole-house backups are treated as priority schedule items.
How much does drain cleaning cost?
Depends on which drain, how accessible the cleanout is, and what method the clog actually needs. We charge a $99 diagnostic to come out, identify the problem, and give you a written quote. The diagnostic is waived when you accept the bid.
