The basics

A clog is a symptom, not always the problem

Most clogs are a simple blockage we can clear in one visit. But a drain that keeps backing up, or several drains failing at once, is often a sign of something deeper in your sewer line, like grease buildup, tree roots, or a broken pipe. That is why we do not just snake and run. We clear the drain, then camera the line so you know whether it was a one-time clog or the early warning of a sewer line problem. Drain cleaning is the honest starting point, and if it turns out you need sewer line repair or replacement, we will show you exactly why.

How it works

How we clear a drain the right way

No guessing, no quick snake and run. Here is how we make sure the clog stays gone.

1

We diagnose

We find where and why it is clogged, with a camera inspection when the cause is not obvious.

2

We clear it

Snaking and rooter for blockages, or hydro-jetting to scour grease, scale, and roots from the pipe.

3

We confirm

We check the line is flowing and, when needed, camera it again so you can see it is clear.

4

We tell you the truth

If the real issue is the sewer line, we show you the footage and your options, no scare tactics.

More than a clog?

Signs it could be your sewer line

Drain cleaning fixes most clogs. These signs mean we should camera the line and check for a bigger issue.

The same drain keeps clogging

A clog that comes back points to buildup or a problem deeper in the line, not a one-time blockage.

Several drains back up at once

When multiple fixtures drain slowly together, the issue is usually the main sewer line.

Gurgling toilets or drains

Gurgling means air is trapped by a blockage further down the system.

Sewage smell indoors or out

Odors can mean a clog is holding waste in the line or a sewer pipe is compromised.

Water backing up elsewhere

Flushing the toilet and the tub backs up? That is a classic main-line warning sign.

Soggy patches in the yard

Wet spots over the sewer line can mean a break, which a camera inspection will confirm.

Drain backing up? Let's clear it and find the cause.

How we clear drains

The right method for the clog

We match the tool to the problem, instead of forcing one approach on every drain.

Drain Snaking & Rooter

A cable cutter that breaks through and pulls out blockages and roots, the right first step for most clogs.

Hydro-Jetting

High-pressure water that scours grease, scale, and roots off the full inside of the pipe, for a deeper clean.

Camera Inspection

We send a camera down the line so you only pay to fix what is actually wrong, and catch sewer issues early.

Built for Maryland homes

Why drains clog around here

Mature trees across Clarksburg, Damascus, and Montgomery County send roots straight toward sewer lines, and many older homes still have clay or cast iron pipe that catches grease and scale. That is why we camera the line, so a quick clear does not hide a problem that will come right back.

  • Keep grease, wipes, and food scraps out of your drains
  • Skip chemical drain cleaners, they damage pipes
  • Address recurring clogs early, before they become a backup
  • Consider a camera inspection if clogs keep returning

Absolute best plumbers I have ever used. Needed them a few times recently and each time they were so professional, kind and resolved each problem the first time around. This last issue took them several hours to fix. They explained everything along the way and gave a very fair price for a lot of work. They also work very cleanly! I will never use another plumber!

I needed a water valve installed for my new fridge and a new faucet installed in upstairs bathroom. Seth was amazing. He came out and really listened to me and my concerns. We even called the company that was going to deliver my new fridge so he would have a better understanding of what he needed to do his job. It made me feel at ease with the whole process. He is even coming back later in the week to install new fridge once it’s delivered. I will absolutely call them again.

We had a pinhole leak suddenly appear in our outdoor hose bib, and Clarksburg Plumbing was able to provide next-day service, which we really appreciated. Our technician, John Brown, arrived right on time after giving us a 30-minute courtesy call. John quickly diagnosed the problem, explained everything clearly, and provided an accurate assessment of what needed to be done. He completed the repair in under two hours, and the quality of his work was excellent. Before leaving, he even took the time to share some helpful tips on how to prevent similar issues in the future. John was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and efficient from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better service experience. I highly recommend Clarksburg Plumbing and especially John Brown for anyone needing reliable, high-quality plumbing work.

Cris and Franklin from Clarksburg Plumbing did incredible work at our home fixing an underground water service leak. They encountered complications but went to plan B efficiently and skillfully and got the job done well and in a timely manner. They also answered all our questions patiently and taught us a lot of why they made the decisions they made. We are very pleased with their work and plan to recommend them and all of Clarksburg Plumbing to our friends and neighbors.

We had a clog in our septic line. The Clarksburg Plumbing crew located the troublesome area using a camera and then removed the clog and tested the line. They then remounted the toilet with a new wax ring and cleaned the area. Overall, a great experience!

Seth was absolutely amazing! He was very courteous and knowledgeable about his profession. He arrived on time and worked the entire time. He kept me in the loop the entire way as to what he was doing. He diagnosed two leaks within our toilet system and readily fixed them. Clarksburg Plumbing should be honored to have such an amazing employee as him.

Good questions

Drain cleaning FAQ

What homeowners ask us most about clogs and drains.

A drain that clogs again and again usually has buildup, roots, or a partial break further down the line, not a one-time blockage. We camera the line so we fix the real cause instead of just buying you a few weeks.

Snaking, or rooter, sends a cable down to break through and pull out a blockage. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour grease, scale, and roots off the entire inside of the pipe for a much more thorough clean.

Yes, when the cause is not obvious or clogs keep returning. A camera inspection shows exactly what and where the problem is, so you only pay to fix what is actually wrong.

That usually points to the main sewer line rather than a single fixture. We inspect the main line to find the blockage or damage and recommend the right fix.

We do not recommend them. Store-bought chemicals can damage your pipes and rarely clear the real blockage. Mechanical cleaning and jetting are safer and far more effective.
