Drain Cleaning
A single sink, tub, or floor drain running slow in the U.S. usually means one localized clog, not a whole-house problem, and a cable machine can clear it.

Talk to a proSewage backing up through a floor drain or tub in the U.S., or water rising instead of draining? Stop running water and call before it spreads.
Talk to a proRecurring backups or slow drains across the U.S. with no clear cause? A camera inspection finds the actual break, root, or bellied section first.
Talk to a proA drain in the U.S. that clogs again days after clearing points to a broken pipe, not a fresh clog, and needs repair rather than another cabling.
Talk to a proGrease-lined kitchen or main lines in the U.S. that a cable keeps missing need hydro jetting, which scours the full pipe wall clean.
Talk to a proEvery drain in the house backing up at once in the U.S. points to the main line, not one fixture, and needs a larger cable or jetting.
Talk to a proMultiple drains backing up at once in the U.S., water pooling around a cleanout, or sewage odor in the yard usually points to a damaged sewer line, not a single clog.
Talk to a proA damaged sewer line running under a driveway, patio, or mature trees in the U.S. does not always require digging a trench from the house to the street to fix it.
Talk to a proTree roots working into a sewer line through a small crack or joint in the U.S. slow drainage gradually over months, then block the line completely once enough roots pack the pipe.
Talk to a proA kitchen sink that drains slowly or gurgles in the U.S. is usually grease and food particles narrowing the trap and branch line, not a problem with the rest of the house.
Talk to a proA bathroom sink, tub, or shower that drains slower every week in the U.S. is almost always hair and soap scum narrowing the pipe, not a sign of a sewer line problem.
Talk to a proA floor drain in a the U.S. garage, basement, or utility room that backs up or smells like sewage often means the trap has dried out or the line behind it is blocked.
Talk to a proA toilet that drains slowly, needs multiple flushes, or backs up in the U.S. is often a blockage in the trap or the branch line just past it, not the whole sewer system.
Talk to a proA sump pump that runs constantly, will not turn on, or a basement floor drain that backs up during rain in the U.S. points to a drainage problem, not just an aging pump.
Talk to a proSewage backing up through a basement floor drain or toilet during heavy rain in the U.S. usually means the city sewer line is overwhelmed and pushing back into the house.
Talk to a proA grease trap that overflows, smells, or lets a kitchen drain slowly in a the U.S. restaurant or commercial kitchen needs regular pump-outs, not just an occasional rinse.

The kitchen sink drains a little slower every week. The toilet gurgles when the washer empties. There is water around the basement floor drain and you cannot tell where it came from. Each of these points to a different problem, and Drain Cleaning is a different job for each.
One fixture slow, everything else fine. The blockage is downstream of that fixture's trap. Usually it is hair, soap scum or grease coating the pipe wall in a branch line. This is a local job.
Several fixtures affected. If the lowest drains in the house back up when an upstairs fixture runs, the main line or the sewer lateral is involved. Common causes are roots entering a clay joint, a bellied section that holds water, scale narrowing cast iron, or a failed lateral. Gurgling at more than one fixture can also mean a blocked vent stack, which stops the system from breathing.
Safe homeowner checks:
Stop there. Do not pour chemical openers into a line that is already full, and do not keep flushing to see if it clears.
Stop running water and call now if sewage comes up in a tub, shower or floor drain, if every drain is slow at once, or if a sewage smell comes with standing water. That is Emergency Drain Cleaning territory. More water only pushes more waste into the house.

A cable machine spins a steel cable with a cutting head down the line. It punches through a soft clog or a root mass and restores flow. For one slow fixture or a fresh blockage, that is often enough. Where it falls short: it opens a channel but leaves grease and scale on the pipe wall, so the drain can slow down again.
Hydro jetting sends high-pressure water through a nozzle and scours the full pipe wall. It is the right tool for heavy grease build-up, sludge, and roots that keep coming back. Whether a line can take it depends on the pipe's condition, so the plumber decides on site.
A camera inspection answers the question the other tools cannot: what is actually wrong. If the same drain backs up again, or the whole house is affected, a camera shows root intrusion, a bellied line, a cracked joint or a failed lateral.
What drives the cost of the job: access to the line, the pipe material and parts involved, how much has to be opened up or removed, and permit or code requirements. None of that can be judged from a description alone.
