Drain Cleaning in Tumwater
From Bush Prairie to the neighborhoods along the Deschutes, slow and backed-up drains in Tumwater get the same approach: clear the line, then show you why it stopped.
From Your Drain to LOTT
Wastewater from Tumwater's urban area is treated by the LOTT Clean Water Alliance. Everything between your fixtures and the public sewer is household piping, and that is where we work.
When a single fixture is slow, the clog is usually in its branch line. When a toilet and a tub act up together, the main line is the suspect.
Floor drains and laundry standpipes get overlooked until they overflow. If yours has not been used in a while, the trap can dry out and let sewer gas in, which is a different problem from a clog and an easy fix.

Clear It, Then Confirm It
We start with a cable sized to the pipe. On main lines and repeat clogs, we recommend running the camera so you see what the cable was fighting.
Roots, an offset joint or a sag all show up on screen, and each has a different fix. A clean pipe after clearing tells you the stoppage was a one-time event.
We also check the cleanout. If there is no usable one, reaching the main line may mean pulling a toilet, and we tell you before we do.
Keeping It Clear
Grease, wipes and coffee grounds cause most of the kitchen and toilet clogs we see. We tell you what we pulled out so you know what to keep out of the drain.
You get a flat-rate quote before work starts and nothing begins until you agree.
If a fixture has to come off to reach the line, we tell you before we pull it.
