Open concrete sewer cleanout in a mossy Whatcom County lawn ready for drain cleaning

Drain and sewer work across Whatcom County

Twelve kinds of work, all of it below the fixture and none of it above it.

The whole list

Everything we do, in one place

Drains fail in a small number of ways and the right response is different for each of them. An object in the way needs a cable. A pipe wall closing up with grease or scale needs water at pressure. Roots need cutting and then a reason not to come back. A pipe that has lost its shape needs digging, and nothing you do from the cleanout will change that.

The point of separating the work out like this is that you can tell which one you have before you pick up the phone, and we can bring the right machine the first time.

Everything we do

Clearing and cleaning

  • Sectional drain cable being fed into a basement floor cleanout during a drain cleaning visit

    Drain Cleaning

    Cabling and augering for slow and stopped drains, from a single bathroom sink to a whole house backing up at the lowest fixture.

  • Hydro jetting nozzle firing high pressure water at the mouth of a residential sewer line

    Hydro Jetting

    High pressure water that scours the pipe wall back to full diameter, for grease, scale, sludge and fine root hair that a cable only punches a hole through.

  • Heavy drum machine clearing a main sewer line at an exterior cleanout beside a house

    Main Sewer Line Clearing

    The line from the house to the city main or the septic tank. This is the one that backs up into the lowest shower and floor drain first.

  • Closet auger being cranked into a clogged toilet in an older Whatcom County bathroom

    Clogged Toilet and Fixture Drains

    One fixture only, and everything else draining fine. Toilets, tubs, showers, bathroom and kitchen sinks, laundry standpipes.

  • Cut open kitchen drain pipe showing hardened grease narrowing the bore to a small opening

    Kitchen and Grease Line Cleaning

    Residential kitchen lines and small commercial grease waste. Cooled fat narrows a two inch line to the width of a pencil, and cable alone will not take it back out.

Finding out what is wrong

Sewer Camera Inspection

A recorded camera run down the line so you can see the actual defect, its depth and its distance from the cleanout before anyone quotes a repair.

Fixing the pipe itself

Sewer Line Repair

Spot repairs, cleanout installation and full section replacement when the camera shows a collapse, a belly, an offset joint or failed Orangeburg.

When it cannot wait

Emergency Drain Service

Active backups, sewage on a floor, and every drain in the house stopped at once. Taken ahead of scheduled work.

Also part of what we do

  • Mat of fine tree roots cut out of a sewer line, still holding the shape of the pipe

    Root Removal and Root Cutting

    Mechanical root cutting on lines being invaded by cedar, maple and fir. Almost always paired with a camera run and a jetting pass.

  • Cable machine set up to clear the house to tank drain line at a rural Whatcom County property

    Septic Drain Line Clearing

    The house to tank run on rural properties. We clear the line. We do not pump tanks and we do not work on drain fields.

  • Flooded yard catch basin packed with leaves after heavy Whatcom County winter rain

    Sump and Yard Drainage Lines

    Perimeter drains, downspout tightlines and yard catch basins that stop moving in a Whatcom November.

  • New plastic cleanout tee and riser dry fitted into an exposed sewer line in a shallow trench

    Cleanout Installation

    Adding an accessible exterior cleanout to a house that never had one, so the next visit does not start by pulling a toilet.
