How much does it cost to unclog a drain professionally?

Professional drain cleaning from Fix-it 24/7 costs $87 during our drain cleaning special, valid during standard business hours and requiring an accessible exterior cleanout. Final pricing can be higher for main sewer-line blockages, heavy root intrusions, or when no cleanout is available; we confirm the total after an on-site evaluation with transparent upfront rates. Most single sink or tub clogs are cleared with a basic snaking, while persistent whole‑home backups can point to deeper line issues. Our plumbers often see grease buildup, root intrusion, and aging cast iron scaling in the Charleston area.

Costs may change when any of these apply:

• Camera inspection to locate breaks or low spots
• Hydro jetting for heavy sludge or roots
• Descaling older cast iron to restore pipe diameter
• Spot repairs or cleanout installation to enable proper access

If sewage is backing up or water is rising in multiple drains, avoid chemical cleaners and call a professional immediately.
