What it costs
Where the clog sits decides the price. A sink, tub or shower drain is one fixture. When every drain in the house is slow or water comes up the lowest one, it’s the main line, and that’s a bigger machine and a longer run.
Drain cleaning, one fixture
$200 to $800
Main sewer line cleaning
$550 to $1,650
Sewer camera inspection, added to a visit
$89
Prices checked .
If the main line clogs again inside a year, or the cable comes back with roots, a camera look for $89 on the same visit tells you whether it’s a clog or a broken pipe. We show you the picture either way.
Comfort+ membership is $199 a year for four visits: a dryer vent cleaning, a water heater flush with a sewer camera inspection, a heating maintenance visit and a cooling maintenance visit.
What’s different in Annandale
The typical owner home in Annandale was built in 1967, and about 8 in 10 across Annandale, Wakefield and Woodburn predate 1980. Plenty of those kitchens have been redone since. The new cabinets, dishwasher and disposal sit in front of a drain pipe the builder put in during the Johnson administration, and the pipe is the part nobody replaced. A modern disposal sends more fine solids into an old line than that line was sized for.
In a house this age the bathroom usually drains as a group. The tub, the sink and the toilet tie into one stack, so a tub that drains slowly while the sink gurgles points below both of them. That is a clog in the branch, often hair and soap sitting at a bend, and it’s a cable job, not a reason to pull the tub. We tell you which of the two it is before we start.
Wakefield is about 95 in 100 single-family houses, nearly all built before 1980, and many have the washer down the basement stairs. A washer moves a lot of water in a hurry, so lint and a partly closed line show up there first, as a laundry tub that burps. Woodburn is a different building: about 3 in 10 of its homes are in apartments and condos, as are the garden apartments around the Annandale business center at Little River Turnpike and Columbia Pike. A kitchen branch there runs into a building drain we don’t own.
One more thing to know before you book: in a house this old, a basement bathroom that someone added later may drain through a pump pit instead of straight down. A pump can’t be cabled, and a stopped pump is a different repair from a clogged line. We check which you have first, and if a camera look would help, it’s $89 on the same visit.
Neighborhood by neighborhood
Census figures for the owner-occupied homes in each place, and where houses that age usually clog.
| Place | Median home built | Most homes are | Heated with | Where it usually clogs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Annandale | 1967 | single-family houses, about 5 in 10 | gas, about 7 in 10 | Scale in cast iron under the floor. |
| Wakefield | 1968 | single-family houses, nearly all | gas, about 8 in 10 | Scale in cast iron under the floor. |
| Woodburn | 1968 | single-family houses, about 4 in 10 | gas, about 6 in 10 | Scale in cast iron under the floor. |
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey, owner-occupied homes unless it says otherwise.
Which clog it is
In a 1960s Annandale bathroom, a tub that drains slowly while the sink next to it gurgles means the clog sits past the point where they meet. A plunger on the tub won’t reach it. A cable from the tub drain or the closet flange will.
In houses this age the line to the street is often clay or cast iron, and roots find the joints. Clearing works, but if it keeps coming back, the camera says whether a repair would end it.
If the kitchen sink backs up but the bathroom drains fine, the clog is in that branch, usually grease or food in the kitchen, hair and soap in a tub. That’s a one-fixture clearing.

Choosing who clears it
Questions to ask anybody who offers to clear a drain, us included.
A new disposal on a drain pipe from the 1960s changes what the pipe is carrying. A plumber who asks about the remodel is thinking about why it clogs, not only how to open it.
You should hear whether it’s a one-drain clearing or the main line, and the price for it, before anybody feeds a cable in. A price that shows up after the work is a bad sign.
A clear drain doesn’t need a bottle of anything, and a single clog is not a reason to dig. If someone jumps to replacing the sewer line without a camera picture, get a second look.

Questions
The office first. In a building the landlord keeps the plumbing in working order, and the line behind your sink may run into a stack that serves other units. If management says the clog is in your branch and you’d rather have it cleared than wait, call us and tell us the unit.
The gravity part, yes: the sink, the tub, the washer. A pump pit with a stuck float or a clogged discharge is a repair on the pump, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we’re looking at instead of cabling blind.
One clogged sink, tub or shower drain is $200 to $800. A main line backing up into the house is $550 to $1,650. Where the clog is and how far down it sits moves the number inside that range.
Better not. The strong ones can sit in the trap, damage older pipe, and splash back on whoever opens the drain next. Try a plunger on a sink or tub, and if that doesn’t move it, call.
