What it is
Drain cleaning Drain cleaning is the process of clearing a blockage from a plumbing drain line so water can flow freely again, typically done with a motorized cable (a snake) or high-pressure water jetting.
Denver's older homes often still have original cast iron or clay drain lines that trap grease and debris more easily than newer PVC, so clogs tend to come back if the cleaning does not address the real cause.
Drain cleaning should clear the clog and confirm the cause
Temporary fixes often break through the easiest part of the blockage and leave the real problem behind. The goal is to restore proper flow, reduce repeat clogs, and recommend the next step only when the symptoms point deeper than a standard clean-out.
