Common Causes Of Clogged Drains

Even if you take good care of your drains by covering them and avoiding pouring any liquid fat, oil, and grease down them, sometimes clogs are inevitable. If you have a clogged drain, it is incredibly important that you do not attempt to unclog it yourself because this could lead to a large leak and more costly repairs.
Instead, call one of our expert plumbers to repair your drain. Our Greenville drain cleaning technicians will provide you with the service you need to get your plumbing back in working order. We have state-of-the-art equipment to determine what plumbing solution will be needed, including drain cameras, snakes, and rooters.

How We Handle Clogged Drains

When you call our professional plumbers for your slow-moving drains, we can help you get to the root of the problem. We recommend avoiding store-bought chemical drain cleaners, which can actually hurt your pipes and cause more problems than they help. Instead, trust a professional plumbing team to address the need.
At Waldrop, we start our drain cleaning service with a video inspection of your drains to find the root of the problem. This allows us to tackle the actual issue, rather than simply guessing at what the problem is. Then, we clean the drain or sewer line with powerful hydro jetting technology or eco-friendly Bio-Clean that safely flushes away the clog, without damaging your pipes.

Y’all Call Wally at (864) 536-0887 to learn how you can protect your drains with professional drain and sewer cleaning services.

Hydro Jetting For Sewer Cleaning

While Bio-Clean is an effective solution for drain problems, if you need sewer cleaning, you may be better served with hydro jetting services. Hydro jetting uses powerful streams of water to loosen clogs and get the drain flowing freely again. Hydro jetting is effective at resolving most types of sewer clogs, including roots.

Contact Waldrop to discuss hydro jetting for sewer cleaning in Greenville. Y’all Call Wally at (864) 536-0887 for more information about this service.

Bio-Clean For Safe Drain Cleaning

Y’all Call Wally to learn more about Bio-Clean® — our safe and eco-friendly solution to your drain concerns. Using natural bacteria and enzymes, this product can clean a drain without harming pipes or leaving harmful chemical residue behind. Best of all, Bio-Clean works quickly, so you won’t be waiting all night to use your water again.

Professional Drain Repair

In addition to clogged drain repair, you can count on Waldrop for leaking drain repair. Over time, the material your drain is made of can begin to corrode, degrade, and eventually crack with normal use, resulting in a leak. If there is water pooling under your sink or damp areas and signs of water damage, you might have a leaking drain and are in need of leak detection services. Not only do leaking drains cause water damage, but they also result in a huge waste of water. A higher-than-normal water bill is often an indication that you have a plumbing leak somewhere.
When our plumbers arrive at your property, we will perform a video camera inspection of your drain lines. Once the source and location of the leak have been identified, we’ll get to work performing any necessary repairs or replacing the drain entirely if needed.

Drain Cleaning FAQs

What is the base price for a drain cleaning service?

A standard drain cleaning starts at a competitive base price — typically in the $150-$300 range depending on the drain location and severity. Kitchen drains with heavy grease buildup, main sewer line clogs, and drains requiring specialized equipment (hydro jetting vs. standard cabling) cost more. We quote the price after understanding your situation over the phone, and our technician confirms it on-site before starting.

Why is a video inspection important for a clogged drain?

A video inspection helps plumbers locate the clog within your drain. By pinpointing the exact location and identifying the type of blockage, plumbers can provide a targeted solution. This approach is more efficient and significantly increases the chances of getting your drain flowing properly again.

How do you price sewer line repair or replacement?

Sewer line work is priced based on the length of the affected section, depth of the pipe, method of repair (trenchless vs. traditional excavation), and the cause of the damage. A spot repair on an accessible section might run $1,500-$4,000, while a full sewer line replacement can range from $5,000-$15,000+. Trenchless methods (pipe lining or pipe bursting) minimize excavation and landscaping damage but aren’t always an option depending on the pipe condition. We always start with a camera inspection to determine exactly what we’re dealing with before quoting.

How long does it take to clear a blocked drain?

With the right equipment, skilled plumbers can generally remove a blockage within minutes. Locating the clog might take a bit more time, but once identified, it can be effectively cleared using advanced tools.

Do you use camera inspection and is that an additional charge?

Yes, we use sewer camera inspection extensively — it’s one of the most valuable diagnostic tools in plumbing. There is typically a separate charge for camera inspection, but it pays for itself by showing us exactly what’s happening inside your pipes: the location, type, and severity of the problem. No guessing, no unnecessary digging. For sewer line issues, we consider camera inspection essential — we won’t recommend a major repair without visual confirmation of the problem.

How do blockages affect cost?

Significantly. A simple clog — hair, grease, or debris — is typically cleared with standard drain cleaning equipment. Root intrusion is a different category: it requires cutting through the roots (often with a specialized root-cutting head), followed by a camera inspection to assess pipe damage, and potentially a repair or replacement recommendation. Roots don’t just clog pipes — they crack and displace them, which means the clog will return until the pipe is repaired. We’re straight with you about what’s a quick fix and what needs a long-term solution.
