Drain Cleaning Services
Slow drains, recurring clogs, or a drain that has stopped working entirely? Our licensed plumbers provide professional drain cleaning services to locate blockages fast, remove them completely, and inspect the line to make sure they do not come back.
Drain Cleaning and Clog Removal You Can Rely On
Clogged and slow drains are one of the most common plumbing problems property owners face. Grease, hair, debris, and organic buildup accumulate inside pipes over time, restricting water flow and, if left unaddressed, escalating into backups, water damage, and costly repairs.
At Millennial Plumbing & Tankless, we locate the blockage, clear it completely, and inspect the line for underlying damage that could cause the problem to return. We use video camera drain inspection equipment and cover everything from kitchen and bathroom clogs to main sewer line cleaning, hydro jetting, and tree root intrusion removal for residential and commercial properties.
We give honest recommendations based on the actual condition of your drain system, whether that means a straightforward cleaning, a full hydro jet, or a pipe repair.
Drain Cleaning Services We Provide
If your drain is slow, backing up, or completely blocked, the cause is not always visible from the surface. Our licensed plumbers diagnose and clear a wide range of drain problems including kitchen and bathroom clogs, main line blockages, grease buildup, and tree root intrusion.
Drain Inspection Services - We inspect drain systems to identify the source and scope of blockages, buildup, and underlying pipe issues before cleaning or clearing begins.
Video Camera Drain Inspection - We use video camera equipment to see inside pipes and locate hidden blockages, damage, or buildup accurately without unnecessary digging or disruption.
Drain Cleaning and Clog Removal - We clean and clear drain obstructions completely to restore proper water flow, addressing the blockage at its source rather than pushing it further down the line.
Main Sewer Line Cleaning - Blockages in the main sewer line affect every drain in the property. We locate and clear main line obstructions to restore full drainage and prevent sewage backups.
Hydro Jetting - For stubborn or recurring blockages, hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clean pipe walls and remove buildup that standard clearing methods cannot fully address.
Tree Root Intrusion Removal - Tree roots that enter drain or sewer lines cause serious blockages and pipe damage. We locate and remove root intrusions and assess the affected pipe to prevent further damage.
Grease Trap Cleaning - Grease accumulation is a leading cause of drain failure in commercial kitchens. We clean grease traps and address grease-related blockages to keep commercial drainage systems running properly.
Pipe Damage Repair - Minor pipe damage identified during drain cleaning or inspection is repaired promptly to restore full pipe integrity and prevent recurrence. For more extensive pipe damage, our pipe repair service provides full diagnosis and repair coverage.
Preventative Drain Maintenance - Scheduled maintenance reduces buildup, catches developing issues early, and supports long-term drainage performance for residential and commercial systems.
Drain Types We Clean and Service
Kitchen Drains - Grease, food waste, and soap buildup are the most common causes of kitchen drain clogs. We clear blockages and inspect the line for buildup that contributes to recurring drainage problems. If the issue extends to the sink itself, our kitchen sink repair service covers all sink-related plumbing problems.
Bathroom Sink Drains - Hair, soap residue, and buildup restrict flow in bathroom sink drains over time. We clear the blockage and inspect the P-trap and surrounding pipe for contributing issues.
Shower and Tub Drains - Hair and soap accumulation are the primary cause of slow shower and tub drains. We clear the drain fully and confirm proper flow is restored throughout the line.
Floor Drains - Floor drains in basements, laundry rooms, and utility spaces are prone to debris and sediment accumulation. We clear and inspect floor drains to prevent standing water and backup.
Laundry and Utility Drains - Lint, detergent residue, and debris build up inside laundry drain lines over time, causing slow drainage or backups. We clear and inspect utility drain systems for full flow restoration.
Main Drain Lines - Blockages in the main sewer line affect every drain in the property. We clear main line obstructions and inspect the full line for damage or root intrusion.
Commercial Drainage Systems High-use drain systems in restaurants, hotels, gyms, and multi-unit buildings require prompt and reliable service. We clear and service all commercial drain types and facility sizes.
Drain Warning Signs You Should Not Ignore
Catching drain problems early prevents them from developing into more serious plumbing issues. Contact us if you notice any of the following:
- Slow draining sinks, tubs, or showers
- Standing water around drains
- Frequent or recurring drain clogs
- Gurgling sounds coming from pipes or drains
- Unpleasant odors coming from drains
- Multiple drains backing up at the same time
- Water backing up into other fixtures when drains are in use. This can indicate a main line blockage or an underlying pipe issue that requires professional inspection.
Do not wait for a full blockage or backup. Contact Millennial Plumbing & Tankless for a prompt inspection and an honest recommendation.
What Causes Drain Clogs and Blockages
Drain blockages develop gradually from materials that accumulate inside pipes over time. Understanding the cause helps identify the right cleaning method and reduces the risk of the same problem returning.
Grease and Fat Buildup - Cooking grease poured down kitchen drains solidifies inside pipes as it cools, gradually narrowing the drain opening until flow is restricted or completely blocked.
Hair and Soap Residue - Hair and soap combine inside bathroom and shower drains to form dense blockages that build up over time and resist basic cleaning methods.
Food Waste - Food particles accumulate inside kitchen drain pipes, particularly at bends and joints, and combine with grease to form stubborn blockages.
Organic Material Buildup - Leaves, dirt, and debris that enter drains decompose inside pipes over time and contribute to slow drainage and recurring clogs.
Foreign Objects - Items that should not enter drains including wipes, cotton products, and small objects cause immediate blockages and can damage pipes if not removed promptly.
Tree Root Intrusion - Tree roots are drawn to moisture inside sewer and drain lines. Once inside, they grow and spread, causing serious blockages and structural pipe damage that requires professional removal.
How Our Drain Cleaning Process Works
- Drain and Pipe System Inspection - We assess the full drain system and connected pipes to identify the source, location, and scope of the blockage before any cleaning work begins.
- Video Camera Blockage Location - Using video camera inspection equipment where needed, we pinpoint the exact location and cause of the clog accurately, whether it is grease buildup, debris accumulation, or root intrusion.
- Professional Blockage Removal - We remove the obstruction completely using the most appropriate cleaning method for the situation, mechanical clearing for standard clogs, hydro jetting for stubborn buildup, or root removal for intrusion damage.
- Pipe Integrity Repair - Any minor pipe damage uncovered during the cleaning process is repaired promptly to restore full pipe integrity and prevent the blockage or damage from returning.
- Flow and Drainage Verification - We run a full flow test to confirm the drain is completely clear, water is moving at full capacity, and the system is performing correctly before we leave.
Most drain cleaning services are completed in a single visit. We carry the equipment and commonly needed parts on our service vehicles to keep the process efficient.

Frequently Asked Questions

A slow or blocked drain does not resolve on its own. Left unaddressed, drain problems lead to backups, water damage, and plumbing repairs that cost significantly more than a professional drain cleaning service.
