We confirm which drain line is blocked — a single fixture or the main lateral — so we use the correct access point and right-sized equipment.
A cable machine, hand auger, or root-cutting rooter physically removes the obstruction. No corrosive chemicals that damage Portland's older cast-iron and galvanized pipes.
We run hot and cold water through the cleared line and confirm full, unrestricted flow before packing up.
Drains that have clogged before get a camera scope to find the underlying cause — scale buildup, root intrusion, or pipe grading that will keep causing repeats.
