A kitchen sink that drains slower every week, a shower that backs up mid-rinse, a floor drain that gurgles when the washer runs — these rarely fix themselves, and snaking the surface clog usually just buys a few weeks. Our Traverse City drain team runs camera inspections to find the actual cause.
Every drain job in Traverse City starts with a look inside the pipe, not a guess based on symptoms alone.
Our Traverse City, MI drain crew is licensed and insured, trained specifically on camera equipment and hydro-jetting systems.
Trucks stocked with jetting and camera equipment are staged around Traverse City so a backed-up drain doesn't sit for days.
The diagnosis determines the price, and that price is confirmed in writing before we start clearing anything.
These are the drain issues we see most often across Traverse City, each handled with the equipment built for that specific cause.
Jetting scours the full diameter of the line, which is why it outperforms snaking on recurring grease and buildup problems.
We record and can show you the footage — you'll see exactly what's causing the clog, not just take our word for it.
Cable snaking is still the right call for a simple hair or debris clog close to the fixture.
Tree roots that have worked into a sewer or drain line get cut and cleared with a root-cutting head, then the line is reassessed for damage.
Commercial kitchens in Traverse City, MI get grease trap service scheduled around operating hours to avoid disrupting service.
Scheduled jetting on problem lines keeps grease and scale from building back up between service visits.
Tell dispatch which fixtures are affected and whether it's a slow drain or a full backup — that shapes which truck gets sent.
A technician with camera and jetting equipment arrives within the scheduled window, ready to diagnose on-site.
The line gets camera-inspected, the actual blockage identified, and a flat price quoted before any clearing begins.
The drain is cleared and camera-verified afterward to confirm the line is actually open, not just flowing better temporarily.

We serve Traverse City proper and nearby Traverse City, MI communities, prioritizing full backups ahead of routine slow-drain calls.
The camera inspection tells us — grease and scale buildup calls for jetting, while a simple isolated clog often just needs a cable.
We assess pipe material and condition via camera first; jetting pressure is adjusted for older or more fragile lines.
Ask dispatch for current camera inspection pricing when you call — it's disclosed before we schedule.
Yes — roots seek out moisture and can enter through small cracks or joints in sewer and drain lines, especially older clay pipe.
It depends on kitchen volume, but many Traverse City restaurants schedule quarterly service to avoid emergency backups.
Cable snaking often just punches through the clog rather than clearing the buildup coating the pipe wall, so it recurs.
