How much does drain cleaning cost in Brighton, CO?

Single fixture drains like kitchens, bathrooms and laundries run $189 to $385 in Brighton. A main line snake runs $285 to $520. Hydro jetting for heavy grease or roots ranges $450 to $950. We quote a flat price before we start.

Do you guarantee the drain will run when you leave?

Yes. If we cannot clear the line we do not charge for that service attempt. Most drains we guarantee for 30 days, and if it backs up again we come out and re clear.

Snake or hydro jet, which is better?

A cable snake is perfect for most single clogs, including hair and common kitchen grease. Hydro jetting uses high pressure water and is the right tool for heavy grease, soft roots, and scaled older sewer lines where you want to scrub the inside of the pipe clean.

What is safe to put down my drains?

Water, soap, and what is meant for drains. Skip grease, coffee grounds, eggshells, fibrous foods like celery, flushable wipes (they do not break down), dental floss, and cat litter. A strainer in the kitchen sink prevents most calls.

Standing water in the sink and the store bought stuff did nothing? That is normal

Store bought drain chemicals are mostly lye and sulfuric acid. They are hard on old chrome, hard on galvanized supply lines, and they rarely fix the actual problem, which is usually a wad of hair in the P trap, a grease plug in a horizontal run, or a pipe with a belly that food is sitting in. If the bottle did not work, stop adding more and call a Brighton plumber. You will spend less than a second bottle, save your plumbing from chemical burns, and know what the actual root cause was before we leave.

The drains we clear most weeks

Kitchen sinks, usually grease plus whatever went down the side with disposal water.
Bathroom sinks, toothpaste residue and long hair are the usual suspects.
Shower and tub drains, hair and soap scum in the trap or the first ten feet of line.
Laundry lines, lint and detergent build up.
Main lines, roots at joints, grease at transitions, or flushable wipes that are not actually flushable.
Floor drains, in basements and garages that back up only during the spring melt.

Snake, jet, or camera

Method	Best for	Not ideal for
Cable snake (1/4 to 3/8 inch)	Single fixture drains, hair, light grease, most residential clogs.	Heavy grease mats, big root masses.
Main line snake (3/4 inch)	Main sewer line clears, first pass on root intrusion.	Cleaning the pipe wall, only cuts a path.
Hydro jetting	Grease heavy commercial and residential kitchens, scaled old cast iron, soft roots, line prep before a camera inspection.	Collapsed pipe, pipe with a known crack.
Camera inspection	Finding the cause once the line is open, mapping a problem before a repair.	Clearing a clog by itself.

What it costs in Brighton

Drain job	Typical flat price
Kitchen or bath sink snake	$189 to $320
Tub or shower snake	$199 to $365
Laundry drain snake	$219 to $385
Main line snake (accessible cleanout)	$285 to $450
Main line snake (toilet pull, no cleanout)	$385 to $520
Hydro jetting residential main	$450 to $950
Camera inspection add on	$149 to $285

Cleanouts matter. Many older Brighton homes do not have an exterior cleanout and snaking requires pulling a toilet. Adding a cleanout is a 1 day job that pays off the first time a future clog appears. Ask us about the cost when we come out.

Keeping your drains running for the long run

Strainers in every sink and tub. The best $8 you will spend on plumbing all year.
Hot water and dish soap in kitchen drains weekly, grease moves on, does not stick.
Do not pour cooking oil down the sink, ever. Into a jar, then the trash.
Skip "flushable" wipes. They are not. They knit into rope inside sewer lines.
If you have big trees in the yard and a 1970s or older Brighton sewer line, schedule an annual jet.

FAQ

How long will the drain stay clear?

A well snaked single drain usually runs for months to years depending on use. A root intrusion main line in an older Brighton home with big trees might need annual jetting.

Why does only one drain back up?

Localized clog. The problem is between that fixture and the main. Snaking from that fixture almost always solves it.

Why does every drain gurgle and back up?

That points to the main line. Call before flushing anything else. We can run a camera and tell you if it is roots, a belly, or a wipe clog.

Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes?

Yes when the pipe is sound. If a camera inspection shows cracks or collapse we skip the jet and quote a spot repair instead.
