Our Drain Cleaning Process
Symptom Assessment
We identify which drains are affected, how long the problem has persisted, and whether it is a localized clog or a main line issue.
Camera Inspection (if needed)
For recurring or main line clogs, we run a camera through the line to visually identify root intrusion, grease buildup, or pipe damage.
Method Selection
We select the right clearing method — mechanical snake, hydro-jetting, or root cutting — based on the type and severity of the clog.
Drain Clearing
We clear the clog completely and flush the line to verify full flow is restored.
Post-Clear Camera Check
For main line issues, we run a second camera pass to confirm the line is clear and identify any structural issues requiring repair.
Prevention Recommendations
We advise on maintenance practices, enzyme treatments, or water softener installation to prevent future clogs.
Beyond Drain Cleaning
Recurring clogs often indicate a deeper issue. Our camera inspections can reveal root intrusion, pipe damage, or buildup that requires repair. If hard water is contributing to mineral buildup in your pipes, a water softener can help prevent future clogs. Drain backups can also cause water damage — and as a general contractor, C.S.W. Power Solutions handles the full repair if damage has occurred. We also provide leak detection to identify hidden pipe issues before they become emergencies.
