Our Drain Cleaning Methods

Arch City Drain and Plumbing uses proven, effective methods to remove blockages quickly and safely:

Drain Snaking

Our motorized drain snakes, also called drain augers, cut through and remove clogs caused by grease, hair, soap scum, and other common debris. Drain snaking is safe for most pipe materials and highly effective for localized blockages in sinks, tubs, and floor drains.

Camera Line Inspection

For persistent, recurring, or deep-seated drain problems, we use high-resolution camera line inspection to see exactly what is happening inside your pipes. This eliminates guesswork and allows us to pinpoint the exact location and cause of the blockage, whether it is a buildup, a root intrusion, or a damaged pipe section.

Signs Your Drains Need Professional Attention

Do not ignore these early warning signs — catching a drainage problem early can prevent a much larger plumbing issue:

● Water draining slowly from sinks, tubs, or showers

● Gurgling sounds coming from drains or toilets

● Foul or sewage-like odors rising from drains

● Multiple drains backing up at the same time

● Water backing up into sinks or tubs when using other fixtures

● Frequent clogs that return shortly after being cleared

Residential and Commercial Drain Cleaning 

We clean drains for homeowners, landlords, restaurants, retail spaces, office buildings, and any other commercial property throughout St. Louis and the metro area. Commercial properties often have higher-volume drain systems that require regular maintenance. Ask us about scheduled service plans to keep your drains clear year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drain Cleaning

  • Why does my drain keep clogging after it has been cleared?

    Recurring clogs are often a sign that the underlying cause has not been fully addressed. The blockage may be deeper in the line, there may be buildup on the pipe walls, root intrusion may be occurring, or a pipe may be damaged or misaligned. A camera line inspection is the best way to identify the root cause of repeat clogs so the correct repair can be made.

  • How often should I have my drains professionally cleaned?

    For most residential properties in St. Louis, professional drain cleaning every one to two years helps prevent buildup and avoid emergency blockages. Commercial properties with heavy drain use benefit from more frequent service. Ask Arch City Drain and Plumbing about a maintenance schedule tailored to your property.

  • Are store-bought drain cleaners safe to use?

    Chemical drain cleaners are a temporary solution at best and can cause damage to your pipes over time, especially older pipes common in many St. Louis homes. They can also create a hazardous situation if a plumber needs to work on the drain after chemicals have been applied. Professional drain snaking or camera inspection is always the safer, more effective, and longer-lasting choice.

  • Can a clogged drain cause damage to my home?

    Yes. A severely blocked drain or backed-up sewer line can cause significant water damage to floors, walls, and foundations, as well as create unsanitary conditions from sewage exposure. Early intervention is always the most cost-effective approach. Contact Arch City Drain and Plumbing at (314) 400-0303 at the first sign of a slow or blocked drain.
