Drain Cleaning
When a drain backs up, we get it flowing — and keep it that way.
From a hair-clogged shower to a grease-packed kitchen line, our licensed plumbers have the cable, hydrojet, and camera equipment to clear it on the first visit. We pick the right tool for the job — not the tool we want to upsell.
If a drain keeps clogging, we’ll run a camera and show you why. Most repeat clogs are roots, grease buildup, or a belly in the line — none of which a snake will fix permanently. You’ll see the footage and a flat-rate quote before any further work.
- Camera-verified work We don't guess — we look. Every sewer job starts with a camera in the line.
- Stocked trucks Cables, jetters, locators, and CIPP tools on board for one-trip repairs.
- Flat-rate quotes Approved before any work — never charged by the hour.
- Warrantied work 1-year labor warranty plus full manufacturer parts coverage.

Symptom Check
Signs your drain needs cleaning
Catch these early — a 30-minute clear is much cheaper than an emergency call after sewage comes up the floor drain.
-
Slow-draining sink or tub
Standing water that takes a long time to drain means partial blockage. Easy fix early.
-
Recurring clogs
If the same drain keeps clogging after a snake, the problem is downstream — usually grease or roots.
-
Gurgling drains
Air trapped behind a partial blockage. An early warning before a full backup.
-
Bad smell from the drain
Buildup in the trap and downstream pipe. Cabling and a flush usually fix it.
-
Toilet bubbling when you run a sink
Cross-fixture symptoms point to a partial main-line blockage — call before it's a full backup.
-
Drain cleaner not working
Chemical drain cleaners damage pipes and rarely fix the underlying clog. Call us instead.

Phoned mainstream to handle an extremely bad clog, in our septic line. Nolan came out to tackle this problem. From the start, Nolan did an awesome job.

Pierce was here within an hour, and got our clogged drain card for very efficiently. He very clearly advised me without pressure on additional needs for my 121 old house's aged plumbing. He offered a reasonable estimate for me to consider. I will use Mainstream for future needs, and request Pierce if he is available. Thank you.

Drain Cleaning — Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can someone get to my house?
Most drain cleaning calls in Spokane and Coeur d’Alene are scheduled same-day. Active backups and floods get priority dispatch 24/7 — including weekends and holidays — at no after-hours surcharge.
Cable or hydrojet — what's the difference?
A cable (snake) cuts a hole through the blockage. A hydrojet uses high-pressure water to scour the entire pipe wall — best for grease, scale, and root blockages where you want the line completely clean. We pick based on what’s clogging the line, not what’s most expensive.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe?
No. Most over-the-counter drain cleaners damage the inside of older pipes, generate dangerous fumes, and rarely clear a real blockage. If you’ve poured one in, tell us before we open the line so the tech can take precautions.
Why does my drain keep clogging?
Repeat clogs almost always mean a downstream issue — grease buildup, root intrusion, a belly (low spot), or a partial collapse. A camera inspection finds the real cause. Cabling alone won’t fix any of these long-term.
Will I know the price before you start?
Always. Our plumber assesses the access point and blockage, then walks you through a written, flat-rate quote — and we don’t lift a tool until you approve it. No hourly billing, no surprise add-ons.
Is the work warrantied?
Every drain cleaning includes a 1-year Mainstream labor warranty on the line we cleared. If the same drain re-clogs from the same blockage within the warranty period, we come back at no charge.
