Cleared right
Not just snaked and gone
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.

Drain cleaning for every drain in the house

From a single slow sink to a backed-up main line, we clear it and tell you the truth about why it happened.

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

I had a great experience with Tyler when he came out to replace our toilet flushing system. From start to finish, Tyler was incredibly courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. He walked me through what needed to be fixed, answered all my questions patiently, and completed the job efficiently. It’s rare to find such high-quality service and attention to detail. Everything is working perfectly now, and he left the work area completely clean. I highly recommend Tyler for any plumbing needs!

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 wanted to add a new review but I could not so I am editing my previous one. I had to use Clarksburg Plumbing again today and like last time, they were exceptional. I was fortunate enough to have John and Madeleine as my service technicians. I will always request them going forward. They are kind, professional and knowledgeable! I am sure the company knows how fortunate they are to have them as part of their team!

We thank Clarksburg Plumbing again for superior, high quality and friendly service! ----- Clarksburg Plumbing visited us last week to repair an external spigot that had been leaking. The work involved creating a little inside access panel. Within and without, a nice, neat job by Charlie and his understudy apprentice, Chris. Problem solved and happy campers here! ----- UPDATE: Plumber John Brown presented himself on time and got right to work replacing my Mom's ancient leaky kitchen faucet with a new store-bought one that I provided. During the process, Mr. Brown detected and showed me two other problem areas contributing to the water leaks: a cracked drain pipe and then rusted threads on the sink trap. He efficiently and expertly repaired all three elements to our full satisfaction. Plus, John is a super nice guy, completely honest and classy enough to laugh at all my corny jokes! The next time you need any plumbing work in your home or business, I strongly endorse John Brown and anyone on the Clarksburg Plumbing team! UPDATE 2: John and his understudy Maddie visited, and quickly solved the problem of a pinhole leak in copper tubing leading from our hot water heater. He advised us on other plumbing needs, for which we have scheduled and will otherwise follow-up. Thank you Clarksburg Plumbing for your top quality people - John Brown in particular - and performance.

Tevon, Noah, Markell, and Morrow were sent by Clarksburg Plumbing LLC to repair an outside broken waterline They arrived at the appointed hour and completed the work in about 3 hours. I was very impressed with them and I would like to recommend all four of these very professional and friendly technicians. Clarksburg Plumbing is a fantastic organization; the office staff, Katie and Charlotte, who helped me are the best.

Thank you to Seth, who came on Wednesday and fixed one of our two toilets and fixed our primary bedroom shower. And thank you to Charlie, who came today and replaced our other toilet and replaced our garbage disposal. You are both lifesavers! Our weekend (and going forward) will be MUCH nicer now that we can use our bathrooms (and garbage disposal) again. Highly recommend Clarksburg Plumbing.

GREAT service and expertise! John and Maddie just installed a water filtration system to our home. The process took one day to install and then they came back from the 48 hour install period to ensure everything was working well. John was familiar and knowledgeable about the water system we bought. Maddie and John kept our space clean, clearly explained how to ensure longevity for our system to last, and the difference it will make in our home. We appreciate their hard work and professionalism. This is our second time using Clarksburg plumbing. We would highly recommend their company to our family and friends.

Franklin and his crew showed up promptly and communicated great with us to help limit disruption with the tenants at 4 of our building. Unfortunately for us a second water main leak occurred the day before. But luckily for us they were able to stay on site another 2 days and knock the second one out, even staying till 8pm to find the line and get it repaired. These will be the guys I request for our next time needs

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.
