What it costs

What drain cleaning costs in Reston.

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

$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 Reston

Reston clogs: a condo stack, a cluster row, or a 1970s kitchen line.

About a third of Reston’s owner homes are condos or apartments, more than in most towns we work. That changes the first question on a drain call. In a building around Lake Anne or Reston Town Center, a kitchen sink that fills back up can be your branch line, or it can be the building’s stack backing up from a floor below you. If the neighbor under you is having the same trouble, call your manager before you call us.

Townhouses are another three in ten, and many sit in clusters whose common ground the cluster association owns and keeps up. A main line clog in one of those rows often shows up as the lowest unit’s tub or floor drain filling when the others run water. We’ll clear it from your cleanout, and we’ll tell you if the trouble looks like it’s out under the common area, so you know who to call next.

In 20191, around Hunters Woods and South Lakes, almost half the homes went up in the 1970s. Kitchen lines in those houses have carried fifty years of grease and coffee grounds, and the cast iron under the floor narrows inside over time. A slow kitchen sink there usually isn’t one bad night. It’s a pipe that’s been closing up for years, and a cable through it opens it back to full size.

North Point and the rest of 20194 are mostly 80s and 90s houses on PVC, so a clog there is usually something that went down, not the pipe giving out. Wipes are the common one, even the ones sold as flushable. If we pull roots out of your line to the street, Fairfax County asks you to call its Customer Communications Center at 703-323-1211 so the county can clean its main too.

Which clog it is

One slow drain, or the whole house backing up in Reston.

Every drain slows down after a big dinner

In a Reston house with a garbage disposal and 1970s pipe, holiday cooking is when the kitchen line gives up. Scrape plates into the trash, run cold water with the disposal, and if the sink still backs up into the other basin, it’s past the trap.

The townhouse next door backed up too

Townhouse rows often share a line before it reaches the street. If a neighbor is fighting the same clog, tell us, because the fix may be on common pipe the association handles.

Only one sink or tub is slow

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

How to pick the best plumber for drain cleaning in Reston.

Questions to ask anybody who offers to clear a drain, us included.

  1. Do they ask whose line it is before they clear it?

    In a Reston condo or cluster, the right plumber asks whether the clog is in your unit’s line or a shared one. Clearing a building stack on your dime, or skipping the call to the association, costs you either way.

  2. Do they price it before they run the cable?

    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.

  3. Do they push chemicals or a new line on the first visit?

    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

Drain questions from Reston.

My Reston townhouse’s basement floor drain filled when the washer ran. Is it the main line?

Usually, yes. The floor drain is the lowest opening in the house, so when the main line can’t carry the washer’s water, that’s where it shows up first. Stop the washer and hold off on showers until it’s cleared.

Can you clear a drain from inside a condo without getting into the building’s system?

Most of the time. We clear the branch from your sink, tub or cleanout. If the cable runs into the building’s stack, we stop and tell you and the manager what we found, because past that point it’s the association’s line.

How much does drain cleaning cost in Reston?

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.

Should I pour a drain cleaner in first?

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.
