Drain cleaning in Richmond, from $269.

What we see in Richmond.
| Flat pipes that silt up | With so little fall, solids settle in the line. Drains that would clear themselves on a hill need cleaning here. |
|---|---|
| Sumps and pumps | Many Richmond properties keep water out with a sump and pump. Pump, alarm, power and discharge are part of every drainage call we take. |
| Restaurants and commercial kitchens | Richmond has a great many of them, and grease is the main reason their drains block. Regular trap and line cleaning costs far less than a closed kitchen. |
Every clog, with its price.
Regular hours are 9 to 5, Monday to Friday. Outside those hours, every price is double. Each price covers up to 2 hours on site.

Who looks after the sewer line in Richmond
The drain line from the building to the property line is the owner's. Richmond requires an approved plumbing permit before changes are made to a property's plumbing system. Clearing a blocked drain is not a change.
When we clear a main line we can tell roughly how far away the blockage was. If it is past your property line, we tell you, and you call the city.
