About Our Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting
Drain cleaning in Rapid City starts at $179 for a standard clog, with tougher mainline and hydro jetting jobs running higher depending on the blockage. The difference between a $179 snake job and a repeat backup next month is whether the plumber clears the whole line or just punches a hole through it. We clear the line right and, when needed, run a camera so you know what actually caused the clog.
Drains clog across the Black Hills for predictable reasons. Grease and food build up in kitchen lines. Hair and soap scum choke bathroom drains. Tree roots work into older sewer lines from Lead to Hot Springs. And in Rapid City's freeze-thaw ground, shifting soil cracks and bellies old pipe so debris catches and backs up. A slow drain today is often a full backup tomorrow, so it is worth handling early.
We match the method to the problem. A cable auger clears most sink, tub, and toilet clogs fast. For grease-packed kitchen lines and root-clogged sewer mains, hydro jetting scours the pipe wall clean with high-pressure water, which a snake cannot do. When a line keeps backing up, we run a sewer camera to find the real cause, whether it is roots, a belly, or a break, and quote the fix upfront.

Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting Questions
How much does drain cleaning cost in Rapid City?
A standard drain cleaning starts at $179. Tougher jobs, like a grease-packed kitchen line, a root-clogged sewer main, or hydro jetting, cost more because of the equipment and time involved. We quote a flat price upfront after locating the clog, so you approve the cost before we start. No hourly surprises.
What is hydro jetting and do I need it?
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of a pipe completely clean, removing grease, sludge, and roots that a cable snake just pokes through. You need it when a line keeps backing up, when grease has built up over years, or when tree roots have invaded a sewer line. For a simple one-time clog, augering is usually enough.
Why does my drain keep clogging?
Repeat clogs usually mean the line was never fully cleared or there is an underlying problem, like grease buildup, tree roots in the sewer, or a bellied or cracked pipe from shifting Black Hills soil. We run a camera to find the real cause so you stop paying to snake the same drain over and over.
Can you clear a main sewer line backup?
Yes. A mainline backup, where multiple drains back up at once or sewage comes up in a basement, is one of our most common calls. We clear the main with a heavy auger or hydro jetter and run a camera to confirm the cause. If roots or a broken line are behind it, we quote the sewer line repair upfront.
Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners first?
We do not recommend them. Store-bought chemical cleaners often fail on real clogs, can damage older pipe, and leave caustic liquid sitting in the line that is dangerous when a plumber opens it. A cable auger or hydro jetting clears the clog without harming your pipes. Skip the chemicals and call (605) 555-0900.
Do you offer a guarantee on drain cleaning?
Yes. Our drain cleaning is backed by a workmanship guarantee. If we clear a line and it backs up again from the same clog within our guarantee window, we come back and make it right. If a camera shows the real problem is a damaged sewer line rather than a clog, we will tell you straight.
