In detail
Drain Cleaning in Nicholasville, Lexington & central Kentucky
The right tool for the clog
A bathroom sink clog and a main sewer line clog are different jobs. We carry hand augers for traps and fixtures, drum machines for branch lines, and larger cable equipment for main lines, and we pick based on the pipe — not the fastest thing to bill. Older Nicholasville and Lexington homes with cast iron or galvanized drains get extra care, because aggressive cabling on brittle pipe causes the leak you didn't have yet.
Clog vs. a bigger problem
If one fixture drains slow, it's a clog. If several drains back up at once, or the lowest drain in the house gurgles when you flush upstairs, the problem is in the main line and it's worth finding out why — roots, a belly in the pipe, or a break. We'll tell you what we found and what it means before you spend more money.
Kitchen sinks, disposals and grease
Kitchen lines clog from grease that cools and hardens down the line, well past where a plunger reaches. We clear the full run to the stack, check the disposal and trap, and give you a couple of habits that keep it from coming back.
Cleanouts and prevention
A surprising number of homes have no accessible cleanout, which turns a 30-minute job into pulling a toilet. If yours is missing we can add one, so the next clearing — ours or anyone's — is faster and cheaper.

Questions
Common questions
- Should I use a chemical drain cleaner first?
- We'd rather you didn't. They rarely clear a real clog and they eat at older pipes and seals. A quick call usually costs less than the damage.
- Do you charge to come look?
- No service fee for local estimates. We'll tell you what it is and what it costs before we start.
- Will cabling damage my pipes?
- Not when it's matched to the pipe. We use smaller, gentler equipment on old cast iron and galvanized drains and stop if the pipe tells us something else is going on.
- Why does my drain keep clogging?
- Repeat clogs in the same line usually mean a partial blockage that never fully cleared, a belly in the pipe, or roots in the main. We'll tell you which.
