A clogged drain never fixes itself

A slow drain always gets worse. What starts as a little standing water in the sink turns into a full backup at the worst possible time.

Arvada Pro Plumbing clears clogged drains fast, and we are licensed and insured on every job we run. So you are not letting a stranger loose in your home.

Many Arvada homes were built before 1970 and still have the original vitrified clay pipes. Tree roots love these older lines, and they push their way in through tiny cracks and joints until a clog forms.

We do not just clear the clog and leave. We find out why it happened so you are not calling us back next month.

When to call a plumber instead of grabbing a plunger

A plunger handles a simple one-time clog just fine. But some clogs are a sign of something bigger going on in your pipes.

Call us instead of reaching for the plunger again when you notice these signs:

  • A clog that keeps coming back: A quick fix today means the real cause is still sitting in your pipe.
  • Multiple drains backing up at once: One blocked main line can affect your whole house.
  • Gurgling sounds from other fixtures: Trapped air from a blockage has to escape somewhere, and it is loud.
  • Sewer smell coming from a drain: This usually points to a cracked pipe or a dried-out trap.
  • Water backing up into a tub or floor drain: This is a health hazard, and it will not wait.

We use a video camera to find the exact cause before we recommend anything. No guessing, no upselling.

What we use, and why

Not every clog needs the same tool. We bring a fully stocked truck so we are never guessing what we need.

A hair clog in a shower drain usually clears in minutes with a powered snake. Grease, scale, and root intrusion call for something stronger, so we switch to high-pressure hydro jetting.

Jetting blasts water at up to 4,000 PSI to scour the full width of the pipe clean, not just punch a hole through the clog.

Best Used ForHair clogs, small blockagesGrease buildup, scale, tree roots

Average PressureN/A (relies on torque)1,500 to 4,000 PSI
Long-Term ResultClears the path for waterRestores the pipe to its full diameter

We will not sell you jetting for a simple bathroom sink clog. And we will not send you home with a temporary fix on a bigger problem. We tell you which one you actually need, then we verify the line is clear with a camera before we leave.

How it works

Our Clogged Drain process

1

Find the real cause

We ask what fixtures are affected and how the clog is behaving before we ever touch a tool.

2

Clear the line

We snake, auger, or jet the line, whichever fits the clog, and we protect your floors and cabinets while we work.

3

Verify with a camera

We run a test and, if needed, a camera check so you know the line is actually clear.

4

Flag anything bigger

If we see roots, cracks, or scale buildup, we tell you plainly and give you an honest recommendation.

Got Questions?

Clogged Drain FAQs

What causes a clogged drain?
Hair, soap scum, grease, and mineral buildup cause most clogs. In older Arvada homes, tree roots pushing into clay pipe joints are a common culprit too.
Is it safe to use a chemical drain cleaner?
No, we do not recommend them. Products with sodium hydroxide create a heat reaction strong enough to melt PVC and corrode older metal pipes. Mechanical clearing is safer and actually solves the problem.
Can a clogged drain cause a sewage backup?
Yes. A severe or ignored clog can force sewage back into your home through a floor drain or low fixture, and that is a health hazard that needs immediate attention. Learn more from the EPA on sanitary sewer overflows.
Why is my toilet gurgling when I run the sink?
That gurgle is trapped air escaping past a blockage somewhere in your line. It usually means a clog is forming even if nothing has backed up yet.
How fast can you get to a clogged drain?
Most Arvada clogged drain calls get same-day service, and true emergencies move to the front of the line.
