A kitchen sink that drains slower every week, a shower that backs up mid-rinse, a floor drain that gurgles when the washer runs — these rarely fix themselves, and snaking the surface clog usually just buys a few weeks. Our Stonington drain team runs camera inspections to find the actual cause.
Every drain job in Stonington starts with a look inside the pipe, not a guess based on symptoms alone.
Our Stonington, CT drain crew is licensed and insured, trained specifically on camera equipment and hydro-jetting systems.
We keep drain-specific equipment on dedicated trucks so Stonington, CT dispatch doesn't need a special equipment run.
You'll get a price after the camera inspection, before any jetting or excavation work begins.
These are the drain issues we see most often across Stonington, each handled with the equipment built for that specific cause.
High-pressure water clears grease, sludge, and scale buildup from the inside of the pipe wall, not just punching a hole through the clog like a cable snake.
A waterproof camera is fed through the line to locate the exact blockage, a bellied section, or root intrusion before any tool touches the pipe.
Cable snaking is still the right call for a simple hair or debris clog close to the fixture.
Tree roots that have worked into a sewer or drain line get cut and cleared with a root-cutting head, then the line is reassessed for damage.
Grease buildup in kitchen lines is cleared with jetting, which handles congealed grease far better than a cable.
A maintenance plan on a recurring-clog line usually costs less over a year than repeat emergency calls.
Dispatch asks a few quick questions about the symptoms to route the right equipment on the first trip.
A technician with camera and jetting equipment arrives within the scheduled window, ready to diagnose on-site.
The line gets camera-inspected, the actual blockage identified, and a flat price quoted before any clearing begins.
We re-run the camera after clearing so you can see the difference, backed by a workmanship warranty on the service.
