Affordable Boise drain cleaning, cleared the first time.
From a slow bathroom sink to a full sewer line backup, cabled and camera-verified by licensed Boise residential drain technicians.
Boise drain cleaning: clogs cleared, lines verified.
A slow drain never fixes itself. In Boise, hard water scale, tree roots, and aging cast-iron laterals turn a small clog into a sewage backup fast. We cable the line, camera the pipe, and show you exactly what we found. So the fix lasts.

Types of residential drain cleaning we do in Boise.
From a single clogged kitchen sink to a full main-line replacement, here's every drain service we offer.
Featured
Kitchen drain cleaning
Kitchen lines clog from cooking grease coating the pipe wall. We run the right cable and cutter head, clear the blockage, and follow up with an enzyme treatment so it doesn't recur.
Learn moreBathroom drain cleaning
Bathroom drains clog from hair bound up with soap scum. We clear it with a cable sized for the smaller line and flush the line.
Learn moreMain sewer line clearing
When the main backs up, every fixture stops. We restore flow with a cable, then jet the pipe wall, and camera the line.

We push a self-leveling color camera from the cleanout, record the line, and mark the depth of any defects.

Symptoms
Signs your drains need professional cleaning now.
Drain problems never start with a flood. They start with a sound, a smell, or a few extra seconds of standing water. If you recognize any of these symptoms, the blockage is already forming. And it gets worse from here.
A single slow drain is usually a local clog. Multiple symptoms at once almost always mean the main line is compromised. The earlier you call, the simpler and cheaper the fix.
- Gurgling or bubbling sounds from drains, toilets, or pipes when water runs elsewhere in the house.
- Water draining slower every week. A tub that used to empty in 30 seconds now takes five minutes.
- A faint sewage or rotten-egg smell near floor drains, sinks, or outside near the cleanout.
- Multiple fixtures backing up at once. Toilet gurgles when the washer drains, or two sinks clog together.
- Standing water around the basement floor drain or yard wet spots above the sewer line path.
- The same drain clogging again within weeks of clearing it. The symptom is downstream, not the fixture.

Drain cleaning FAQs.
Quick answers on cost, methods, and when to camera the line.
How much does drain cleaning cost in Boise?
Single-fixture drain clearings start at $149. Main-line cabling runs $249–$389. Hydro jetting is $495–$895 depending on line length and severity. Every price is flat-rate and quoted in writing before any tool comes out of the truck, with no overtime, weekend, or mileage charges.
What's the difference between snaking and hydro jetting?
A cable or snake punches a hole through a clog and restores flow. Hydro jetting uses 1,500–4,000 PSI water through specialized nozzles to scour the inside of the pipe back to bare wall, removing the grease, scale, and root mass that the cable just bored through. For recurring backups or any main-line work, jetting is the right answer; for a one-off hair clog in a tub, a cable is enough.
Do I need a sewer camera inspection?
If you've had multiple backups, you're buying a Boise home built before 1980, or you see standing water in the cleanout, the answer is yes. A camera inspection is the only way to know whether you have a one-time clog, recurring root intrusion, a belly, or a collapsed section, and the only way to make an informed decision about repair versus replacement.
Can you clear roots without digging?
In most cases, yes. Hydro jetting with a root-cutting nozzle clears soft and moderate root intrusions completely. For lines that re-root every season, we install a cured-in-place liner that gives the pipe a new structural wall roots can't penetrate, no excavation, no landscaping damage.
Do you work in Meridian, Eagle, and Nampa?
Yes. We dispatch to all of Ada and Canyon counties, Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Star, Nampa, Caldwell, Kuna, and Garden City, with 24/7 availability and the same flat-rate pricing across the entire service area.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Idaho Plumbing License #PLB-12345, $2M general liability, and W-2 employees only, no subcontractors. Every technician is background-checked, drug-tested, and trained on the specific equipment they bring to your house.
