Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal, Done Right
Overview
What to expect
A slow sink is annoying; a backed-up main line is an emergency waiting to happen. When water won't go down, or comes back up where it shouldn't, MainLine Plumbing's licensed plumbers clear the clog and, just as importantly, figure out why it happened in the first place. We handle everything from a single greasy kitchen drain to a whole-home backup at the main sewer line.
Rather than guessing, we diagnose the blockage with the right tool for the job. Light clogs get a professional cabling or snaking; heavy grease, scale, and root intrusion get hydro-jetting that scours the pipe walls clean. When a clog keeps coming back, we'll run a camera inspection so you can see exactly what's going on instead of paying for the same fix twice.
Every drain visit comes with upfront, flat-rate pricing you approve before we start, and we leave your kitchen or bathroom as clean as we found it. If the real problem turns out to be a damaged or collapsed line, we'll show you the footage and lay out honest repair options, no scare tactics.

FAQ
Drain Cleaning questions, answered
How much does drain cleaning cost?
Most standard drain clearings start around $99. Heavier jobs that need hydro-jetting or a camera inspection cost more, but you'll always get a flat-rate written price before we begin, never an open-ended hourly meter.
What's the difference between snaking and hydro-jetting?
Snaking (cabling) punches through a clog and is great for routine blockages. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire pipe wall clean, removing grease, scale, and roots, which is the better choice for recurring clogs and main lines.
Why does my drain keep clogging?
Repeat clogs usually mean something deeper: grease buildup, pipe scale, a belly in the line, or tree-root intrusion. We can run a camera inspection to find the root cause so you stop paying to clear the same clog over and over.
Are chemical drain cleaners a good idea?
We don't recommend them. Store-bought chemicals can corrode older pipes and rarely clear the real blockage. A professional cleaning is safer for your plumbing and actually solves the problem.

Real Reviews
Trusted by Columbus Homeowners
Woke up to water pouring through the kitchen ceiling at 2am. MainLine had a plumber out within the hour, found the failed supply line, and stopped the damage fast. Lifesavers, and the price was exactly what they quoted.

Our water heater died right before a houseful of guests. They installed a new one the same day, walked me through the warranty, and left the garage cleaner than they found it. Couldn't ask for more.

Got three quotes to repipe our old house. MainLine was the most transparent about the scope and the only one who gave me a flat price in writing. Two years later, not a single issue.
