Drain cleaning and sewer-camera inspection in Duval
Slow sinks, recurring clogs, full sewer-line backups — snake, hydro-jet, and camera-inspect. We diagnose before we quote.
Slow sinks, recurring clogs, full sewer-line backups. Snake, hydro-jet, and camera. We don’t just punch a hole through the blockage and walk — when a drain is clogging twice in three months, the answer is to figure out why, not to keep clearing it. Camera-first diagnosis on anything recurring.
Typical symptoms
- Single slow drain (sink, tub, shower)
- Multiple drains slow at once (main-line issue)
- Gurgling sounds from a drain that's empty
- Recurring clogs that come back within weeks
- Sewage coming up through a floor drain
Scope of work
- Mechanical snake (residential drains)
- Hydro-jet (heavier blockages, grease, roots)
- Sewer-camera inspection (recurring backups, pre-purchase)
- Root-intrusion diagnosis on clay lateral lines (older neighborhoods)
- Main-line clearing with cleanout access
- Preventive maintenance for restaurants, multifamily
Frequently asked
Six common questions for drain cleaning.
Should I just use a chemical drain cleaner?
Once in a while, on a single slow sink, it's fine. As a habit, no — over time chemical cleaners eat at the inside of older galvanized or cast-iron pipes and make the eventual repair worse. If a drain is slow more than once or twice, the right move is to clear it mechanically and figure out why it's clogging.
What's the difference between snake and hydro-jet?
A snake punches a hole through the clog so water can flow again. A hydro-jet uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of the pipe back to bare wall, removing buildup the snake leaves behind. Snake is fast and cheap; hydro-jet is more thorough and the right tool for grease, scale, or root intrusion. We pick based on what the camera shows.
Why does my drain keep clogging in the same spot?
Three usual suspects: a partial root intrusion in the yard-side lateral (especially in Riverside, Avondale, and parts of Mandarin where clay laterals are common), a belly in the pipe where waste pools, or a bad slope on a section of the line. A camera inspection tells you which one — and changes the recommendation from 'clear it again' to 'fix the underlying problem.'
How much does a camera inspection cost?
A standalone sewer-camera inspection runs a flat fee that gets credited toward any repair work that comes out of the findings. If we're already on-site for a clog and the situation calls for a camera, we discount the inspection from the standalone rate. Itemized on the written estimate before we run the camera.
Do you handle restaurant grease traps?
Yes. We service three-compartment sinks, grease interceptors, and the kitchen drain lines that feed them. Most restaurants are on a recurring service interval (monthly or quarterly) to stay ahead of health-department inspections. We can set up that interval or come on-call.
How urgent is a sewer backup?
Same day. Sewage coming into the house is a health hazard, and the longer it sits the worse the cleanup. Call (904) 555-0140 — we'll dispatch the closest truck and walk you through what to do until we arrive.
