Clogs show up in a few ways. A sink takes minutes to empty, or a tub holds water around your ankles. A toilet gurgles when the washer drains, or water comes up through a basement floor drain. Where it happens tells us a lot. One slow fixture usually means a blockage close by. When several fixtures back up at once, the main line is the usual suspect. We find the clog, clear it and tell you what caused it. In a kitchen line that's often grease, and in a shower drain it's usually hair. Older sewer lines can also have roots working their way in. If we find something that needs more than a cleaning, we explain it and give you a free estimate before doing anything else. We clean drains for homes and businesses in [Cincinnati](/areas/cincinnati/), [Harrison](/areas/harrison/), [West Chester](/areas/west-chester/), [Indian Hill](/areas/indian-hill/) and [Mason](/areas/mason/).

## Common questions

Is it okay to use store-bought drain cleaner first?

Harsh chemical cleaners can be hard on older pipes, and they often leave the clog in place. If you've already poured some in, let us know when you call so we can work on the drain safely.

Why does the same drain keep clogging?

A clog that comes back is usually a sign of something further down the line, like buildup in the pipe or roots in the sewer line. We look for the cause so the drain stays clear.

Do you clean drains for businesses?

Yes. We work with both residential and commercial customers. Call (513) 951-3015 or [send us a request](/contact/) and we'll get back to you.
