Olympia Drain Cleaning Services

When your sink backs up or the shower won’t drain, it’s more than annoying. It’s a sign your plumbing system needs help. At Black Hills Inc., we provide drain cleaning services to homeowners across Olympia and the Puget Sound region. Whether you’re dealing with a stubborn clog or a recurring backup, we’ll clear the line and get your plumbing working like it should.

Eliminate Stubborn Clogs with Proven Professional Technique

Some clogs are shallow and easy to break through. Others are deeper, more stubborn, and need the right tools to get them out for good. That’s where professional drain cleaning makes all the difference.

Depending on what we find, we might use:

• Motorized drain snakes to cut through solid buildup
• High-pressure water jetting to flush out grease and gunk
• Camera inspection to spot blockages and confirm they’re gone

Every drain is different. We choose the right method to clear yours safely and completely.

FAQs

What types of drain cleaning services do you offer?

We handle clogs in kitchen sinks, tubs, toilets, laundry lines, and main sewer pipes. We also offer video inspection and sewer cleaning when needed.

How do I know if I need professional drain cleaning?

If a drain is slow, smells bad, or clogs repeatedly, it’s time to call. DIY fixes only go so far if the problem is deeper.

What causes most drain clogs?

Grease, soap, hair, food scraps, and tree roots are the biggest culprits. These build up over time and can block water flow completely.

How long does drain cleaning take?

Most jobs take one to two hours. We’ll let you know upfront if it’s likely to take longer based on what we find.

Can drain cleaning prevent plumbing emergencies?

Yes. Regular cleaning can stop buildup from becoming a full-blown backup, especially in homes with older plumbing or lots of use.

How often should I have my drains cleaned?

Once a year is a good target for most homes. If you’ve had issues before, twice a year may help prevent future clogs.
