Sink won't drain? Tub backing up? A licensed Portland plumber clears clogged and slow drains the same day — kitchen, bath, tub, shower, toilet and main lines — with upfront pricing and no overtime fees.
Residential and commercial, one fixture or the whole house.
Grease, food and soap buildup in kitchen lines and garbage disposals.
Hair and soap scum slowing or stopping bathroom drains.
Clogged and overflowing toilets cleared with an auger.
Basement floor drains, laundry and washing-machine standpipes.
The whole-house drain that backs up multiple fixtures at once.
Drains that clog again and again — we find and fix the cause.
If several fixtures back up at once, your toilet gurgles when the sink runs, or water rises in the lowest drain, the blockage is in your main sewer line.
That needs a different fix: sewer line repair or, for grease and roots, hydro jetting. We camera the line to be sure.
Most clogs come from grease and cooking fats, hair, soap scum, food scraps, and "flushable" wipes that aren't. Portland adds its own twist: many older homes still run on clay and cast-iron laterals, and the city's mature tree canopy sends roots into those lines, especially through the rainy season. Pouring chemical cleaner on these problems just corrodes the pipe — so we clear clogs mechanically and recommend hydro jetting only when buildup or roots call for it.
Basic snaking is typically $125–$300 — you see the price before we start, same rate any hour. No surprise after-hours fees.

Basic snaking typically runs about $125–$300 depending on the drain and how stubborn the clog is (Portland average ~$200). You get a flat-rate price upfront — no overtime charge for evenings or weekends.
A single slow drain usually isn't, but if multiple fixtures back up at once, sewage appears, or a toilet overflows and won't clear, treat it as urgent and call right away — it often signals a main-line blockage.
One slow fixture = local clog. Several fixtures backing up together, a gurgling toilet, or water rising in the lowest drain points to a blocked main sewer line — we camera it to confirm.
Yes — same-day and 24/7 emergency drain cleaning across the metro. Most clogs are cleared in a single 1–2 hour visit.
Avoid liquid chemical cleaners — they corrode pipes, damage older joints, and rarely clear a real blockage. Mechanical clearing actually removes the clog.
Recurring clogs usually mean grease or scale buildup, poor grading, or tree roots in older Portland laterals. If snaking only helps briefly, hydro jetting or a camera inspection finds the cause.
Kitchen sinks and disposals, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, toilets, floor drains, laundry drains, and main-line clogs — residential and commercial.
Most take one to two hours. Stubborn main-line clogs or jobs needing a camera inspection can take longer; we tell you what to expect first.
A drain snake punches a hole through a clog to get water flowing again. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire inside of the pipe, clearing grease, roots, and buildup along the whole line — better for recurring clogs. See our hydro jetting page for details.
