Our Process

1

Drain Assessment

We identify the source and location of the blockage — whether it's a kitchen grease accumulation, root intrusion, or hard scale buildup — before choosing the right clearing method.

2

Method Selection

Light clogs are cleared with an electric snake; persistent or recurring clogs, grease buildup, or root intrusion are handled with high-pressure hydro jetting.

3

Clearing & Verification

After clearing, we run a camera or flow test to confirm full opening and check for any underlying structural issues that caused the blockage.

4

Root Treatment (if applicable)

For root intrusion, we apply a root-inhibiting foam treatment to slow regrowth — extends the clear period by 1–2 years versus snaking alone.

5

Maintenance Recommendation

We document the condition and recommend a cleaning interval — typically annually for rental kitchens and every 2–3 years for main lines without root intrusion.

Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting — Frequently Asked Questions

How is hydro jetting different from snaking, and when does a Nashville property need it?
A drain snake (cable machine) mechanically cuts through or hooks a clog and pulls it back, but it leaves residue on the pipe walls — grease coatings, mineral scale, and root fibers that reaccumulate quickly. Hydro jetting uses water at 2,500–4,000 PSI to scour the pipe walls clean, removing everything. For Nashville rentals with recurring kitchen drain issues, or any property where a camera shows significant grease coating or root regrowth, jetting is the right call. We see snake-only service on Nashville rentals requiring return visits every 3–6 months; jetting typically extends the clean period to 1–2 years.
What causes recurring drain clogs in older Nashville homes?
The three most common causes in Nashville are: (1) Grease accumulation in kitchen drain lines, particularly in properties with heavy cooking use — the fats coat cast iron or older galvanized lines and accumulate year-over-year. (2) Root intrusion through deteriorated clay tile or cast iron joints in the main line — Nashville's mature oak and elm tree-lined neighborhoods (East Nashville, Inglewood, Madison) make this extremely common. (3) Pipe bellies from clay soil settling that hold standing water and catch debris. If a Nashville property needs drain service more than once per year, a camera inspection is the next step to identify the underlying cause.
Can you clear clogs without tearing out walls during an active flip?
Yes — and this is where proper access points make all the difference. For kitchen and bath drains, we can clear through the cleanout or by pulling a fixture without wall demolition in most cases. For main line clogs, we use the exterior cleanout at the foundation, if it exists. The problem in many Nashville homes built before 1980 is missing cleanouts — in those cases, we may need to add one during the clearing visit. We include cleanout installation as a recommendation (and often as a flat-rate add-on) because it saves you $300–$500 in future access costs.
Do you offer preventive drain maintenance plans for investor rental portfolios?
Yes — for investors with 3+ Nashville rental properties, we offer annual drain maintenance plans that include main line inspections, kitchen drain cleaning, and priority scheduling for emergency calls. Preventive maintenance on rentals dramatically reduces tenant complaints and emergency calls, which are always more expensive than scheduled service. We price these plans per-property and offer discounts for portfolios of 5 or more units. Contact us for a portfolio assessment and pricing.
