Drain Cleaning
Fast, mess-free drain cleaning for kitchen, bath, laundry and main sewer lines across the Las Vegas Valley — with a written price before we start.
A slow drain is annoying. A backed-up main line at dinnertime is a genuine emergency. Either way, in Las Vegas the cause is usually the same story: hard-water scale narrows your pipes from the inside, then grease, hair and soap grab onto it until the line finally chokes off.
We clear it fast — and we tell you why it happened so you're not calling us back next month. From a single slow bathroom sink to a whole-house backup, Mike's Drain and Plumbing handles it with the right tool for the job and an up-front price you approve before we start.
No mystery invoices. No 'we'll see when we get there.' Just a clean fix and a straight answer.
One slow fixture is often a local clog. Several slow drains at once usually points to the main line.
Air trapped behind a partial blockage escapes as gurgles in your sink, tub or toilet.
Rotting food, grease and biofilm caught on pipe scale give off a sewer or sour smell.
A clog that returns every few weeks means the line wasn't fully cleared — often scale that needs jetting, not just a snake.
First we find out what we're dealing with. For a stubborn or repeat clog, we run a camera so we can see whether it's grease, roots, scale or a collapsed section — instead of guessing.
For most kitchen and bathroom clogs, a properly sized cable (auger) clears the blockage quickly. When the problem is hardened scale or grease coating the whole pipe, hydro jetting scours the line back to full diameter so it drains like new. If the camera shows a cracked or root-invaded line, we'll walk you through sewer line repair options honestly.
Then we test the line under real flow before we pack up — because a drain that 'seems' clear isn't good enough.

Valley water runs around 16 grains per gallon — very hard. Every day, a little more scale deposits on the inside of your pipes. Over years, a 2-inch drain can lose real diameter to mineral buildup, and once the opening shrinks, everything else sticks.
That's why we often recommend pairing a cleaning with a longer-term fix like a water softener to slow the scale, especially for homes in scale-heavy areas like Silverado Ranch and Enterprise. Treat the water and you're not just clearing clogs — you're preventing them.
A real drain cleaning is more than running a snake and leaving. When we clear a line, you get a full diagnosis first, the right clearing method for the actual blockage, and proof the line flows before we pack up — not a guess and a handshake.
For recurring or main-line problems we run a sewer camera so you can see the cause on the screen — grease, scale, roots or a broken section — and we point it out instead of asking you to take our word for it. Then we clear it, run water to confirm, and give you honest advice on keeping it clear.
Almost any drain in a Las Vegas home can clog, and each one does it for its own reason. Kitchen lines glaze with grease and hardened scale. Bathroom sinks and tubs choke on hair and soap. Laundry standpipes catch lint, and the main line takes the combined load of the whole house.
We clear all of them — and when several fixtures back up at once, that's the tell that the problem is the main line, not the sink. If you're fighting the same drain over and over, ask us about hydro jetting to reset the pipe instead of snaking it every few weeks.

We bring drain cleaning to homes and businesses valley-wide — the same up-front pricing and licensed, insured crews whether you're near our south-valley shop or across town.
Most straightforward drain clearings fall in the lower range, while main-line stoppages or jobs that need hydro jetting or a camera run higher. We give you a written price up front — never a surprise at the end. For a detailed breakdown, see our guide on drain cleaning cost.
Snaking (cabling) punches through a clog fast and is perfect for most sink and tub blockages. Hydro jetting scours the entire pipe wall and is the better fix for hardened scale, grease lines and roots. We recommend the one that actually solves your problem — see hydro jetting vs. snaking.
Recurring clogs usually mean the line was never fully cleared, or hard-water scale has narrowed the pipe so debris catches easily. A camera inspection tells us which it is. More on the common causes here.
Yes. If your main line is backing up into tubs or floor drains, that's an emergency and we're available 24/7. Call (614) 830-0578 and we'll get someone out fast.
We'd skip them. Store-bought drain chemicals rarely clear a real clog, they can corrode older pipes, and they make the eventual professional clearing more hazardous. A cable or hydro jetting removes the blockage without cooking your pipes — and we can usually get to you the same day.
Most homes only need it when clogs start coming back. But if you're on a slab in an older neighborhood, or your kitchen line greases up fast, a periodic cleaning — or hydro jetting every year or two — keeps small clogs from becoming a main-line backup. We'll suggest an honest interval based on what the camera shows, never a subscription you don't need.
Blast years of hard-water scale, grease and roots out of your lines and restore full flow — not just a hole through the clog.
