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 Gainesville
Eight Gainesville homes in ten went up in 2000 or later, and a third are townhouses. Young plastic pipe seldom wears out, so a slow drain here usually starts in the kitchen, where cooking grease builds a lining that catches everything after it, or in a bathroom branch full of wipes and paper. One pass of the cable ordinarily ends it.
Heritage Hunt is a different kind of call. It’s a community of 1,863 homes for people 55 and older, behind a gate with a single entry point. Tell us when you book so we know what the gate needs, and tell us if the house sits empty part of the year. A winter away leaves a guest bath or a basement floor drain unused for weeks.
Laundry is the other new-house habit. Second-floor laundry rooms are common in 2000s houses, and a washer that empties faster than its standpipe can take, or a hose full of lint, puts soapy water on the floor in a way that looks like a clog and isn’t. Clearing the standpipe, not the main line, usually does it.
Virginia Oaks goes back to 1994, with 561 homes beside Lake Manassas, so its oldest kitchen lines have had thirty years of dinners. The 1980s and 90s are about one Gainesville home in seven. If yours is from then and the main line has clogged twice, a camera look is $89 on the same visit.
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey, owner-occupied homes unless it says otherwise.
Which clog it is
That’s grease, not a one-time clog. It builds in thin layers on the pipe wall. By the time the sink won’t empty, the pipe is a fraction of its size, and clearing it back to full width is what keeps it from returning next month.
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.
New PVC rarely fails, so in a house this young a clog is almost always something that went down: wipes, grease, a toy. One clearing usually ends it.

Choosing who clears it
Questions to ask anybody who offers to clear a drain, us included.
Heritage Hunt has one entrance. A plumber who asks for the gate instructions and the address when booking has worked in communities like it, and won’t leave you waiting at the guard house.
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.

. SwiftPro was able to get a tech out same day I called with an issues and had a the same guy come back to do the repairs. Jamie Lazo was awesome and did exceptional work. Glad to have my AC unit back up and running!

Questions
Maybe not. Run water in that drain for a minute first. A trap that dried out in a guest bath is the cheapest answer. If the smell comes back, or the water drains slowly, it’s a clog and the smell is just where it shows.
In that bathroom’s own branch, not the main line. When only one room is slow, it’s a one-fixture clearing, $200 to $800, and the rest of the house is fine.
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.
