Drain Cleaning Services
Don't underestimate a slow or clogged drain — what looks like a minor nuisance can escalate quickly into pipe damage, water backup, or costly repairs. If you're noticing slow drainage, gurgling sounds, or odors coming from your drains, it's time to call a professional.
At 3rd Rock Plumbing, we have the equipment and experience to clear the full range of blockages, from simple clogs to the most stubborn and complex drain issues.
Common Issues
Foul odors from drains typically signal a buildup of pollutants in your line — not something to mask, but something to clear. A slow-moving drain is an early warning sign that deserves prompt attention.
More complex problems like root intrusion, hardened grease, collapsed lines, or back-pitched pipes require professional diagnosis and the right equipment to resolve. Homes with older galvanized lines are especially prone to corrosion-related issues.
Ignoring drain problems rarely makes them better — and often leads to broken pipes or interior water damage.
Our team here at 3rd Rock Plumbing can identify what's going on and get it resolved before it becomes a bigger problem.
Hydro Jetting
For stubborn or recurring blockages, hydro jetting is our most powerful tool. This high-pressure water jetting service thoroughly clears your pipes — cutting through hardened grease, debris, and even root intrusion that snaking alone won't solve.
Hydro jetting isn't just a fix — it's also a smart preventive measure, particularly for properties with a history of debris or root problems in the main sewer line.
It's one of the mos cost-effective ways to keep your plumbing running clean.
Our team has thorough experience with residential and commercial situations.
Camera Scoping & Locating
When a blockage keeps coming back, or when you need to know exactly what's happening underground, we offer full sewer line camera inspections. After clearing the line, a camera scope gives us a visual confirmation of the cause — root intrusion, collapsed sections, heavy corrosion, or hardened grease buildup.
This service is especially valuable for lines running under slabs or concrete, and for commercial and industrial properties dealing with recurring problems.
We also provide locator service to pinpoint exactly where issues lie. You'll receive a link to the video footage directly, so you can see exactly what we saw.
