Why Drain Cleaning in Lawrence Is Different
Lawrence drain calls cluster in two places: the kitchen and laundry lines of west-side family homes that have collected a decade of grease, and the abused fixtures of KU-area rentals. In the older homes around downtown, the cast-iron branch drains have roughened with age and grab everything that goes down them — cabling clears the immediate clog but jetting is what restores flow. We run a camera on any line that re-clogs so we're treating the cause, not the symptom.

Drain Cleaning in Lawrence — FAQ
Will drain-cleaning chemicals work instead?▾
Sometimes for hair clogs in a bathroom sink. Almost never for kitchen lines (grease) or main lines (anything substantial). Chemicals also damage older cast-iron pipes — we don't recommend them for any home built before 1980.
How long does it take?▾
Single drain: usually under an hour. Main line: 1–2 hours depending on access and severity.
What's the warranty on a drain cleaning?▾
30-day warranty on cleared drains. If the same drain clogs again within 30 days, we come back and re-clear it at no charge — and we'll camera it to find out why.
