How it works
What every drain visit includes
Find the real blockage
Fixture, branch line, or main? Grease, roots, scale, or a toy someone flushed? We locate where and what it is before recommending anything.
A written price you approve
One flat-rate number for the job — agreed before the machine comes off the truck, unchanged after you say yes.
Clear the whole line, not just a hole
Punching through a clog gets water moving today — and the clog back next month. We clear the full pipe diameter so it stays gone.
Proof it drains
We run water and you watch it go before we call the job done. If we scoped the line, you see exactly what we saw.
Cleanup and straight advice
Mess gone, fixtures wiped down — plus honest advice on what caused it and how to keep it from coming back.
And if something's not right after we leave? We come back and make it right — no charge, no argument. That's the Loon Promise.
Warning signs
Is a backup on its way? The signs, in order
Water pools at your feet in the shower
Almost always hair and soap scum packed into the branch line — the most common clog there is, and usually cleared in a single visit. If it keeps coming back, something further down the line is narrowing the pipe.
Gurgling sounds from drains or the toilet
That's air fighting past a partial blockage downstream. It's the line telling you it's closing up — catching it now is a lot cheaper and cleaner than waiting for the full backup.
A sewage smell from your drains
Sometimes it's just a dried-out trap in a floor drain nobody uses — a free fix. But a persistent smell can mean a blockage or venting problem letting sewer gas into the house. Worth a look either way.
More than one drain is slow at once
One slow fixture is a local clog. Several at once points downstream — a branch line or your main. Take this one seriously: it's the warning that comes before sewage in the basement.
Sewage backing up in a floor drain or tub
That's a blocked main line, and it's an emergency — everything you flush is coming back into the house. Stop running water and call us now; backups jump the line.
The same drain clogs again and again
A drain that keeps clogging isn't bad luck — it's a symptom. Tree roots, grease buildup, scale inside old pipes, or a sagging line. A camera inspection shows the actual cause so you can fix it once instead of renting a plunger lifestyle.
Honest options
A quick clear or the full fix? Here's how we decide
Upfront pricing
You'll know the exact price before we start
"What does drain cleaning cost?" deserves a straight answer. The honest one: it depends on which drain, how far down the blockage sits, and how the line can be accessed — which is why we quote the job, not the hour. You approve a flat-rate price before the work starts, and the invoice matches the quote. Always.

Drain questions, answered straight
How fast can you clear a clogged drain?
Most clogs are cleared the same day you call. A sewage backup is an emergency and jumps the line — call (612) 445-6346 and we'll head your way.
Should I try Drano or a liquid drain cleaner first?
We'd rather you didn't. Chemical cleaners rarely fix the actual blockage, they can damage older pipes and rubber seals, and they turn the line caustic for whoever works on it next. Skip the bottle and put that money toward clearing the drain properly.
Do I need a camera inspection?
Not for a first-time, single-fixture clog — we won't sell you one you don't need. But for recurring clogs, multiple slow drains, or anything involving the main line, seeing inside the pipe changes the answer. When we scope a line, you see the footage too.
Why does my drain keep clogging?
Something structural is narrowing the pipe: tree roots, hardened grease, scale inside older galvanized or cast-iron lines — common in Minneapolis–St. Paul homes built before the 1970s — or a low spot where the pipe has settled. Clearing treats the symptom; a camera finds the cause.
Are tree roots really a problem in Minnesota?
Very. Older neighborhoods here have clay sewer mains with joints roots love, and they hunt for water hardest in spring and fall. If roots are in your line, you have options — from scheduled maintenance clearing to a permanent repair — and we'll walk you through the honest math on each.
Do you handle main sewer lines?
Yes — main-line clearing and camera inspections are everyday work for us, including emergency backups. If the line needs more than clearing, we'll show you what we found and lay out the options before anything else happens.
