Two Methods — We Use the Right One for Your Clog
Not every clog requires the same approach. We assess your drain situation and use the most effective method to get your drains flowing freely.
Drain Snaking
Our electric drain snakes use rotating auger cables to break through and pull out hair clogs, soap buildup, food debris, and small obstructions in kitchen and bathroom drains. Best for localized clogs in individual fixtures.
- Kitchen sink clogs from grease and food
- Bathroom sink and tub hair clogs
- Toilet blockages
- Floor drain clogs
Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting uses water pressurized to 4,000 PSI or more to scour pipe walls completely clean — removing grease buildup, mineral scale, tree roots, and years of accumulated debris. It's the most thorough drain cleaning method available.
- Main sewer line cleaning
- Grease-clogged restaurant drains
- Tree root intrusion in sewer lines
- Recurring clogs that keep coming back

Why Liquid Drain Cleaners Are Not the Answer
Store-bought drain cleaners might temporarily clear a slow drain, but they don't solve the underlying problem — and they can actually make things worse over time.
They damage your pipes
Chemical drain cleaners generate heat as they react with clogs. This heat can soften and warp PVC pipes and corrode older metal pipes over repeated use.
They don't remove the clog
Most liquid cleaners only eat a small hole through the clog, leaving the buildup on pipe walls. The drain slows again within weeks.
They're a health and environmental hazard
These chemicals are highly caustic and dangerous to handle. They also end up in the water supply and septic systems where they kill beneficial bacteria.
They mask bigger problems
A recurring clog may indicate a broken pipe, tree root intrusion, or a failing sewer line. Chemical cleaners hide these symptoms until they become expensive emergencies.

Professional Drain Cleaning: More Than Just Clearing a Clog
A slow or clogged drain is one of the most common plumbing problems homeowners face, but it is also one of the most misunderstood. Many people reach for a bottle of chemical drain cleaner at the first sign of a slow drain, not realizing that these caustic chemicals can damage older pipes, harm the beneficial bacteria in septic systems, and often fail to fully remove the clog — leaving a partial blockage that quickly returns. Professional drain cleaning goes far beyond what any store-bought product can accomplish.
At Affordable Plumbing Sewer and Drain Services, we use professional-grade drain cleaning equipment including electric drain snakes, sectional machines, and high-pressure hydro jetting systems to completely clear blockages from drains of all sizes. For kitchen sink drains clogged with grease and food debris, our hydro jetting service uses water pressurized to 4,000 PSI to scour the interior walls of the pipe clean — not just punch a hole through the clog, but actually restore the pipe to near-original flow capacity.
Bathroom drains clogged with hair and soap scum, floor drains blocked with sediment, and main sewer lines obstructed by tree roots all require different approaches and equipment. Our technicians are trained to diagnose the type and location of the blockage before selecting the appropriate tool for the job. For stubborn or recurring clogs, we can perform a sewer camera inspection to visually identify the exact cause — whether it is a grease buildup, root intrusion, pipe offset, or a foreign object — and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
Tree root intrusion is a particularly common problem in Jefferson City and surrounding areas, where mature oak, maple, and elm trees send roots in search of the moisture and nutrients inside sewer lines. Roots can enter pipes through tiny cracks or loose joints and grow to completely fill the pipe over time. We use root-cutting attachments on our drain machines to clear root intrusions and can apply root-killing treatments to slow regrowth. For severely damaged pipes, we offer trenchless pipe lining as a minimally invasive repair option.
Regular drain maintenance is the best way to prevent emergency clogs. We offer scheduled drain cleaning services for homeowners who want to stay ahead of problems, as well as commercial drain maintenance programs for restaurants, hotels, and other businesses where drain performance is critical to daily operations.
