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.

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 Fairfax Station
Ninety-eight of every hundred Fairfax Station owner homes are single-family houses, and eight in ten went up between 1980 and 1999. There are no townhouse rows and no condo stacks to wonder about. If a drain is slow, it is yours, and the only question is which branch. We start by asking how many bathrooms are on the line and where the laundry is, because in a house this size those two answers narrow it quickly.
Big houses of this age have a lot of pipe between the fixtures and the place where it leaves the house. A bathroom at the far end of the second floor sends its water down a long run to a stack, and that stack joins several others. Plastic doesn’t rust, but it does collect: a film of soap, a mat of hair at a joint, a bit of wipe that caught on a rough cut. Over years, that adds up to a slow line rather than a blocked one.
When all the bathrooms and the kitchen get slow at once, it’s the main run inside the house, and one cable pass from the cleanout usually opens it. When only one bathroom is slow, it’s that branch, and we clear it from the fixture. We say which it is before we price it. A fixture clearing and a main line clearing are two separate prices on the same page, and you choose.
Crosspointe, with its 1990s streets, is the youngest part of the Fairfax Station address: the typical owner’s home dates from 1993 and almost all are detached. Hair, grease, wipes and the occasional toy are what we pull out there. What we do is the drains inside the house, and when a problem looks like it starts beyond the foundation, we’ll tell you what we saw and who to call.

Which clog it is
A house with five bedrooms and a full dinner on Thanksgiving puts a lot of water through a line that’s been fine all year. If a drain was slow in October, expect it to quit in November. Clear it before the guests arrive.
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.
When the washer drains and water shows up in a basement shower or floor drain, or flushing a toilet bubbles the tub, the clog is past the branches in the main line. Stop running water until it’s cleared.

Choosing who clears it
Questions to ask anybody who offers to clear a drain, us included.
In a large house, the answer tells the plumber whether a slow tub is its own branch or the main run. It’s a quick question that saves a wrong cable pass.
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.

Nii is the best. He’s been to the house twice – once for a galvanized to PVC piping change-out, and another time for a badly clogged kitchen line that wouldn’t budge with my snake and a good bit of effort. Super nice guy, very skilled, fair, calm, etc. Exactly what you want in a plumber.

Questions
That is one branch. Hair at the drain or a coating in the trap is most common, and clearing it from the shower drain usually ends it. If the downstairs also slows, it’s the main run.
Yes. It’s the lowest fixture on the line, so it shows trouble first. We clear the branch from the fixture and, if the main run is slow, from the cleanout.
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.
