Every Type of Drain We Clear
Aurora, Centennial, Parker, and surrounding area.
Kitchen Sink
$110–$250Grease, food debris, and soap buildup are the usual culprits. Most kitchen clogs clear in one visit. Aurora's harder water makes soap scum more adhesive — recurring kitchen drain issues often mean the blockage is further down than a standard snake reaches.
Bathroom Sink & Tub
$110–$200Hair and soap scum are the primary cause. A slow tub drain that's gotten progressively worse is usually months of buildup — we clear it and check the P-trap while we're there.
Toilet
$110–$200Most toilet clogs are in the trap or just past it. If plunging hasn't worked, the blockage is further down. A toilet that clogs repeatedly in an older Aurora home is worth investigating with a camera.
Main Sewer Line
$250–$800+A main line clog affects every drain in the house simultaneously. In older Aurora neighborhoods like Aurora Hills and Hoffman Heights, root intrusion in clay sewer laterals is a common cause. Camera inspection often recommended alongside snaking.
Floor Drain
$110–$300Basement floor drains in Aurora's older ranch homes collect sediment over years. If yours backs up during heavy rain or after laundry, the trap may be dry or the line may be partially blocked.
Hydro-Jetting
$300–$600High-pressure water jetting for stubborn or recurring blockages. Aurora's moderately hard water accelerates scale buildup inside drain pipes — hydro-jetting removes it more thoroughly than snaking for chronic problems.
Why Aurora Homes Get More Drain Calls
Aurora's drain problems vary significantly by neighborhood — and understanding why helps you know what you're dealing with.
Older Aurora neighborhoods — Aurora Hills, Hoffman Heights, Del Mar Park — were built in the 1950s and 1960s with clay sewer laterals and early cast iron drain pipes. Those systems are now 60–70 years old. Clay laterals develop joint gaps over time as soil shifts seasonally, and roots from mature trees find those gaps. Once inside, roots grow and eventually block the line. Cast iron drain pipes develop internal scale that slows drainage and catches debris. In these neighborhoods, recurring drain problems are common and often signal something a camera needs to see.
Newer Aurora neighborhoods — Southlands, Murphy Creek, Saddle Rock — have modern PVC plumbing and don't face the same pipe-age issues. But Aurora Water is moderately hard, and that mineral content accelerates scale buildup inside drain pipes over time. Homes with hard water see drain slowdowns faster than homes on softer municipal supply. Annual drain maintenance is worth considering, especially in kitchens where grease and hard water combine.
For any drain clog that comes back within a few months of being cleared, a camera inspection is the right next step — not another snake. Repeat clogs mean the underlying cause wasn't addressed the first time.
Drain Cleaning Questions — Answered
How much does drain cleaning cost in Aurora, CO?
Most drain cleaning in Aurora runs $110–$300 for standard sink, tub, and toilet clogs. Main sewer line snaking starts around $250 and can reach $800+ if hydro-jetting or camera inspection is needed. We provide a written quote before any work starts.
How fast can a plumber respond to a clogged drain in Aurora?
Same-day service is available for most drain calls when you contact us before noon. Aurora is our primary service area — Aurora Hills, Hoffman Heights, Del Mar Park, Heather Ridge, Southlands, Murphy Creek, and everywhere in between.
Does Aurora's water make drains clog faster?
Yes, indirectly. Aurora Water is moderately hard compared to Denver Water's snowmelt supply. That higher mineral content causes scale to build up inside pipes over time, narrowing the diameter and making clogs more likely. Soap scum also binds more aggressively to scale-roughened walls. Homes in Aurora see drain slowdowns faster than homes on softer municipal water.
Can tree roots block my sewer line in Aurora?
Yes — especially in older Aurora neighborhoods with mature landscaping. Aurora Hills, Hoffman Heights, and Del Mar Park have homes built in the 1950s–1960s with clay sewer laterals that have joint gaps roots exploit. Once roots enter the line, they grow and eventually block it. A sewer camera inspection is the only reliable way to confirm root intrusion.
What is hydro-jetting and do I need it?
Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of drain pipes — removing grease buildup, scale, and root fragments more thoroughly than a snake. It's recommended for recurring clogs, main lines with grease or scale buildup, or lines where a camera shows partial root intrusion. More expensive than snaking but more thorough for chronic problems.
My whole house is draining slowly — what does that mean?
Multiple slow drains throughout the house usually points to a main sewer line problem, not individual clogs. If toilets are gurgling, the tub fills when you run the sink, or drains across the house are slow simultaneously — stop running water and call. A main line backup can bring sewage into the house quickly.
