What a Clogged Drain Looks Like
Most clogs give you a warning before they stop a drain cold. These are the ones our technicians hear about most.
Water Stands in the Sink or Tub
The basin holds water, or it drains so slowly you wait to rinse. One fixture acting up usually means the clog is close to that drain.
Several Drains Slow at Once
When a tub, a toilet and a sink back up together, the blockage sits farther down, in the line they share.
Gurgling or a Sewer Smell
Air pushing past a partial clog makes drains gurgle. A sewer odor in the house is worth a call on its own.
Water Coming Up Where It Shouldn't
An outdoor cleanout overflowing into the yard, or water rising in a basement floor drain, points to a main line clog.
The Same Drain Keeps Clogging
A drain that clogs again after you clear it has something in the line: buildup, grease, roots or debris. That calls for a closer look.
Drain Clearing and Drain Cleaning Are Two Different Jobs
Most people search for drain cleaning. What they usually need first is drain clearing. Snaking a drain clears the clog. Hydro jetting cleans the pipe itself.
Snaking
Drain Clearing
A motorized drain cable goes down the line through the drain, an outdoor cleanout or the toilet flange. The head breaks up the clog or pulls it back out, and water runs again. It's the right call for a single, first-time clog.
Hydro Jetting
Drain Cleaning
High-pressure water scours the full inside wall of the pipe. We recommend it for lines that keep clogging in the same spot, older lines with years of grease or scale buildup and lines where a camera shows buildup along the pipe wall.

You Pick a Two-Hour Window
Book online or call. Online windows run 8 to 10, 10 to 12, 12 to 2 and 2 to 4, Eastern.
Your Technician Finds the Clog
They look at what's actually going on, not just the drain you called about, before recommending anything.
You Get a Written Price
You review and approve the price before any work starts. Go ahead on site and the $89 dispatch fee is waived.
The Line Gets Cleared
The cable goes in at the closest access point: the sink drain or the outdoor cleanout. Sometimes we pull the toilet from the floor to give the cable a straight shot, which adds $150.
A Camera, If the Clog Keeps Coming Back
A drain camera inspection shows what's inside the line, such as roots or construction debris, so the next step is based on what we saw.
You Sign Off Before We Call It Done
Your technician runs the water with you and walks through the finished work.
With the toilet pulled, the drain cable went down the flange and came back wrapped in tree roots.
What Drain Cleaning Costs
Two numbers are fixed. Everything else is written down and approved by you before the work starts.
Most Clog Heroes services are flat rate. Hydro jetting is priced differently: a charge for the first two hours, then an hourly charge after that. Your technician tells you which applies before anything begins.

What Customers Said About Drain Cleaning
Google reviews that mention this job, quoted word for word.
If I could give these guys 10 stars, I would. Kind, courteous, professional, engaging, prompt and efficient. I will use Clog Heroes going forward.
The clog heroes team came to my rescue for sure! About to move in and drain lines were backed up making noises. They came and put in a ton of effort to clear out my drain completely. Hours of hard work later and I don’t have to worry about any future back ups!
Kenny Brooks, Google review
The work was professional. The site was cleaned up afterwards. The employees were very polite and friendly. All circumstances under control of Clog Heots were controlled and properly completed. The subcontractor was late getting to the site, but once there the work was completed in a timely manner. That was not a negative reflection on Clog Hero's as it was not within their control. I would hire them again.

Drain Cleaning Questions
What's the Difference Between Drain Clearing and Drain Cleaning?
Drain clearing is snaking: a cable breaks up or pulls out the clog so water flows again. Drain cleaning is hydro jetting: high-pressure water scours the inside wall of the pipe. A single, first-time clog usually needs clearing. A line that keeps clogging may need cleaning.
How Much Does Drain Cleaning Cost in Fredericksburg, VA?
The dispatch fee is $89, and it's waived when you go ahead with the work on site. After-hours and emergency dispatch is $189 and is never credited back. The price for the job itself comes in writing, and you approve it before any work starts. For a range before anyone comes out, get an instant estimate.
Do You Clear Main Sewer Lines, or Only Sink Drains?
Both. Clog Heroes clears sinks, tubs, showers, toilets and floor drains, and clears main lines through the outdoor cleanout.
My Drain Keeps Clogging. Will Snaking Fix It?
A drain that clogs again and again after snaking usually has buildup, grease, roots or a deeper problem in the line. A camera inspection tells us which one before we recommend snaking, hydro jetting or a repair.
Do You Pump Septic Tanks?
No. We clear the line all the way to the septic tank tee. Past the tee is septic work, which takes a different license.
Can You Come After Hours?
Calls are answered 24/7. After-hours visits are case by case, subject to availability, for problems that could cause major property damage or a health hazard, such as a sewer backup that leaves you without working toilets or drains. After-hours dispatch is $189.
Which Areas Do You Serve?
The City of Fredericksburg, Stafford, Spotsylvania, Caroline, King George, Westmoreland, Louisa, Orange, Culpeper, Southern Fauquier and the eastern side of Prince William County through Manassas. Online booking checks your ZIP code. If yours isn't on the list, call us.
Drain Guides From Clog Heroes
How to Get Rid of Drain Flies by Clearing the Slime They Breed In
Spraying adult drain flies won't stop them. They lay their eggs in the slime that lines slow and rarely used drains, so the fix is to find the drain they're using, clear it and keep it clean.
Footing Drains: How They Keep Groundwater Out of Your Basement and the Signs You Need One
A footing drain is a perforated pipe in gravel along the base of your foundation. It collects groundwater and carries it away before it reaches the basement. It isn't a French drain, and it can go in after the house is built, though that means digging around the foundation.
Bleach Only Kills Drain Flies for a While. Here's What Gets Rid of Them
Bleach kills a few adult flies and larvae on contact, then leaves behind the buildup they breed in. Four steps work better, and a strip of tape over the drain tells you when they're gone.
