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 Woodbridge
Woodbridge covers more than 44,000 owner homes across six Census places, which is why one clog never looks like the next. About half the homes are detached, three in ten are townhouses, and one in six is in a condo or apartment building. Nearly three households in ten rent. That mix, more than the age of the pipe, decides who we’re talking to and whose line it is.
Dale City is where the kitchen line gets its reputation. Roughly four in ten of its homes are from before 1980, mostly the 1960s and 70s, with cast iron inside the walls. Cast iron scales as it ages, and the scale narrows the pipe a little each year, so a slow sink there has often been slow in small steps for a decade. A cable scrapes it back toward full size.
Out in Lake Ridge and Potomac Mills, six homes in ten or more are from the 1980s and 90s, on PVC, so the common calls are tub drains choked with hair and laundry lint, and a basement bathroom that sits lower than everything else. Leesylvania and County Center, mostly built since 2000, are the kitchen grease and wipes crowd.
In the condo and apartment buildings nearer Route 1, the sink or tub branch is ours to clear. When the cable meets the stack that serves the units above and below, we pull back and report, because from there on the association or the owner makes the call. If you rent, the owner usually approves the work, and it helps to have them on the line.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dale City | 1983 | single-family houses, about 7 in 10 | gas, about 7 in 10 | Wipes and grease in PVC; a low spot outside. |
| Lake Ridge | 1985 | townhouses, about 4 in 10 | electricity, about 5 in 10 | Wipes and grease in PVC; a low spot outside. |
| Woodbridge | 1976 | single-family houses, about 4 in 10 | gas, about 5 in 10 | Scale in cast iron under the floor. |
| Leesylvania | 2006 | single-family houses, about 4 in 10 | gas, about 6 in 10 | The kitchen line, from grease. |
| Potomac Mills | 1988 | single-family houses, about 6 in 10 | electricity, about 7 in 10 | Wipes and grease in PVC; a low spot outside. |
| County Center | 2006 | townhouses, about 4 in 10 | gas, about 6 in 10 | The kitchen line, from grease. |
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey, owner-occupied homes unless it says otherwise.
Which clog it is
The tub that fills to your ankles is almost always the stopper assembly or a hair clump just below it. Lift the stopper and look first. If it’s clean and the water still sits, the clog is farther down and the cable has to go to it.
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.
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 cleanout on the main line is the cleaner way in: no wax ring, no tipped toilet. Many Woodbridge houses have one in the basement, garage or yard. Ask whether the plumber looks for it first.
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
For one slow sink or tub, us, because that’s your branch. If more than one unit is slow, or the water comes up on a lower floor, call the association too. That points to the shared stack.
In a 1960s or 70s house the cable often clears the clog but leaves the scale on the pipe wall. If it slows again that fast, a camera look, $89 on the same visit, shows how much of the pipe is left before you clear it a third time.
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.
