Drains
Drains should drain. MAX makes sure they do.
Clearing a clog is the easy part. The part that saves you money is understanding why the line stopped draining, because a drain that backs up twice a year is telling you something about grease buildup, root intrusion, a belly in the pipe, or improper grading that no amount of repeated snaking will fix.
We clear the blockage with professional equipment sized to the line, then tell you what we found. If it was ordinary buildup, we will say so and you are done. If the cable came back with roots on it, or the line refilled the moment we cleared it, we will recommend a camera inspection so you can see the actual condition rather than take our word for it.
We work on kitchen and bathroom drains, tubs and showers, laundry lines, floor drains, and main sewer lines. Where the home has no accessible cleanout, we can install one so future service does not require pulling a toilet.

FAQ
Drain Cleaning FAQs
Straight answers to what people ask us most about this service.
Is drain cleaning a permanent fix?
Not always, and we will not pretend otherwise. Clearing a blockage restores flow, but if the underlying cause is roots, a broken section, or improper grading, the clog will return until the pipe itself is addressed.
Should I use store-bought drain chemicals first?
We would advise against it. Caustic drain openers frequently fail on a full blockage, sit in the line, and create a hazard for whoever opens that pipe next, while damaging older piping in the meantime.
Multiple drains are backing up at once. What does that mean?
When several fixtures back up together, the problem is usually in the main sewer line rather than any individual branch. That is a case for a camera inspection.
What causes recurring kitchen drain clogs?
Almost always grease. It leaves the sink warm and liquid, then cools and hardens on the pipe wall, narrowing the line a little more with every use until food debris finally bridges it.
