Where the clog sits
A hair clog a few feet down a bathroom sink is the quickest job we do. A blockage out in the main line takes bigger equipment and more time.
Drain Cleaning
Drain Cleaning in Denver, CO
A slow sink, a backed-up shower, or a main-line clog never picks a good time. Elite Rooter's licensed local plumbers clear kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and main-line drains in Denver, CO every day, with the right method for the clog: snaking for soft blockages, hydro jetting for grease and roots, and a camera when the cause isn't obvious. You get an upfront price before any work starts.
Common signs
Signs you may need drain cleaning
One symptom can be minor. Several together usually point to a larger issue.
- Water draining slower than it used to
- Gurgling sounds from drains or the toilet
- Bad smells coming up from a sink or floor drain
- Water backing up in the tub or shower when you run the washer
- A clog that keeps coming back after DIY fixes
- Multiple slow drains at once (a main-line warning sign)
What we handle
We match the repair to what is actually happening inside the system.
Explore Drain Cleaning company-wide.
Drain snaking
A motorized cable clears hair, food, and soft clogs. For a single slow drain it is the fastest fix. The machine matters less than the operator: the right cable size and head for the pipe keeps the clog from being pushed deeper or the pipe from being scratched up.
Hydro jetting
High-pressure water scours grease, scale, and roots out of the full pipe diameter. It is the right call for recurring clogs and main lines. We only jet after seeing the pipe's condition, because pressure that cleans a sound pipe can finish off a failing one.
Camera inspection
An HD camera shows what's blocking the line and where, so you never pay for guesswork. It also settles arguments: if a past repair or a landlord dispute hangs on what is actually in the line, the recording is yours.
Main line clearing
We clear accessible main-line blockages and confirm whether the pipe needs further inspection or repair. Whole-house backups usually announce themselves at the lowest drain first, often a floor drain or a ground-floor shower.
Pricing factors
Drain Cleaning Costs
Two clogs that look identical from the sink can be very different jobs, so the price follows what we find, not a flat menu.
Snaking or jetting
Snaking clears the blockage in the pipe's path. Hydro jetting cleans the whole pipe wall, costs more, and lasts a lot longer on greasy or root-prone lines.
Cleanout access
If your home has an accessible cleanout, we can get straight into the line. Without one, we work through a roof vent or pull a toilet, which adds time. That is also why the drain coupon requires one.
What the camera finds
If the line keeps clogging because it is broken or bellied, clearing it is a patch, not a fix. We will show you the video before talking about anything more.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer drain cleaning in Denver?
Coverage depends on the exact address. Share the Denver service address when you call or book so the team can check it.
Should I snake the drain or hydro jet it?
Snaking clears a single soft blockage; hydro jetting cleans the whole pipe wall and is the right call for grease, roots, and clogs that keep coming back. We recommend the cheaper option when it will actually solve the problem.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?
We don't recommend them. Caustic cleaners can damage pipes, rarely clear the real blockage, and make the line hazardous for whoever works on it next.
Why does my drain keep clogging in the same spot?
Something in the pipe is catching debris: a root, a sag that holds water, a rough joint, or hardened buildup. Snaking clears the symptom each time. A camera look tells you which one it is, and then you can fix it once instead of paying for the same clearing every few months.
Is one slow drain different from several slow drains?
Yes, and it changes the diagnosis. One slow fixture is almost always a local clog. Several fixtures slowing down together, or drains that gurgle when the washer runs, point at the main line, and that is a different job.
