DRAIN & SEWER SERVICES

Clear the Problem. Understand What's Causing It.

Slow drains, recurring clogs, gurgling fixtures and sewer backups can range from an isolated drain problem to a blockage deeper within the property’s drainage system.

Southwest Plumbing Solutions provides professional drain and sewer services throughout Southwest Florida, including drain cleaning, main sewer cleaning, camera inspection and hydro jetting.

Our team can evaluate what you’re experiencing, determine the appropriate service and help you understand whether you’re dealing with a routine blockage or a problem that deserves further investigation.

Same-day residential service may be available based on location, scheduling and project requirements.

WHAT ARE YOU EXPERIENCING?

Start With the Drain Problem You Can See

You don’t need to know where the blockage is located before contacting SPS.

Tell us what the plumbing system is doing and our team can help determine which drain or sewer service is the appropriate starting point.

Slow Drain

A sink, shower, tub or other fixture is draining noticeably slower than normal.

Recurring Clog

The same drain continues clogging even after previously being cleared.

Multiple Slow Drains

Several fixtures are draining poorly at the same time, potentially indicating a problem deeper within the drainage system.

Sewer Backup

Wastewater is returning through a toilet, tub, shower, floor drain or another fixture.

Gurgling or Unusual Drain Behavior

Fixtures are making unusual sounds or behaving differently when other plumbing fixtures are used.

Need to See Inside the Line

A recurring or unclear drainage problem may require a camera inspection.

Heavy Buildup or Difficult Blockage

Some drainage systems may require a more intensive cleaning method such as hydro jetting.

Not Sure What's Wrong?

Describe what you’re experiencing and we’ll help determine the next step.

FROM THE FIXTURE TO THE MAIN SEWER

Not Every Clogged Drain Is the Same Problem

A drainage problem can begin at an individual sink, shower or tub—or occur farther downstream within the property’s main sewer line.

That’s why the right service depends on more than simply knowing that a drain is clogged.

The number of affected fixtures, how often the problem returns, where the backup appears and how the drainage system behaves can all provide useful information.

SPS offers several levels of drain and sewer service so the solution can be matched to the problem rather than automatically using the same approach for every blockage.

DRAIN CLEANING

Professional Service for Slow & Clogged Drains

A slow or clogged residential drain can interfere with everyday use of sinks, showers, tubs and other plumbing fixtures.

Drain cleaning is typically appropriate when the problem appears to be associated with an individual drain or localized blockage.

SPS can evaluate the affected fixture and perform the appropriate drain-cleaning service based on the condition encountered.

Common Reasons to Request Drain Cleaning

Sink drains slowly
Shower or tub holds water
Drain has stopped flowing normally
Clog repeatedly returns
Drain performance has gradually worsened
Fixture backs up during normal use
Homeowner has already tried simple solutions without lasting improvement

Typical Price

Drain Cleaning

$225–$325

MAIN SEWER SERVICE

When the Problem Extends Beyond One Drain

When several plumbing fixtures are affected at the same time, or wastewater repeatedly backs up through lower drains, the problem may involve the property’s primary drainage or sewer line rather than one individual fixture.

Main sewer cleaning provides a more appropriate service for blockages affecting the larger drainage path serving the home.

SPS can evaluate the symptoms and determine whether main sewer cleaning should be the next step.

Signs the Main Sewer May Need Attention

Multiple drains are slow at the same time
Toilets and tubs behave differently when another fixture is used
Wastewater backs up through lower fixtures
Drain problems repeatedly return
Several rooms are affected
A blockage appears to extend beyond one fixture

Typical Price

Main Sewer Cleaning

$425–$695

SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING INSIDE THE LINE

Drain & Sewer Camera Inspection

When a drainage problem repeatedly returns or the cause cannot be determined from normal fixture-level evaluation, seeing inside the drain or sewer line can provide useful information.

A plumbing camera allows the technician to visually evaluate accessible portions of the line and better understand conditions that may be contributing to the problem.

Camera inspection is a diagnostic service—it does not automatically mean additional repair work is required.

A Camera Inspection May Be Recommended For

Recurring drain problems
Repeated sewer blockages
Unclear causes of drainage problems
Evaluating conditions after clearing a line
Investigating sections of accessible sewer piping
Determining whether additional service should be considered

Typical Price

Camera Inspection

$395

MORE INTENSIVE LINE CLEANING

Hydro Jetting for Drain & Sewer Lines

Some drainage systems require more than conventional drain cleaning. Hydro jetting uses pressurized water delivered through specialized equipment to clean appropriate drain and sewer lines more thoroughly.

The service may be considered when conditions, buildup or recurring drainage problems make a more intensive cleaning method appropriate.

Hydro jetting should be recommended based on the condition and suitability of the plumbing system rather than treated as the automatic solution to every clog.

Hydro Jetting May Be Appropriate For

Difficult or recurring blockages
Significant buildup within appropriate lines
Drainage problems that return after conventional cleaning
Main sewer lines requiring more intensive cleaning
Situations where SPS determines jetting is suitable for the piping involved

Typical Price

Hydro Jetting

$695–$1,195

LOOK AT THE WHOLE SYSTEM

One Affected Fixture and Several Affected Fixtures Tell Different Stories

A single slow bathroom sink may indicate a localized drain problem.

When several fixtures begin draining slowly, gurgling or backing up around the same time, the plumbing system may be signaling a problem farther downstream.

When requesting service, tell SPS:

Which fixtures are affected
Whether more than one drain is involved
Where backup is appearing
How long the problem has been occurring
Whether it has happened before
Whether wastewater is currently backing into the home

That information can help determine the most appropriate service starting point.

NEED HELP NOW?

A Sewer Backup May Require Faster Attention

A routine slow drain and an active sewer backup are not the same situation.

When wastewater is actively returning through a toilet, shower, tub, floor drain or another fixture, continued use of the plumbing system can make the problem worse.

Stop using affected fixtures and contact SPS to explain what is happening.

START WITH THE RIGHT SERVICE

Some Problems Near a Drain Actually Belong to Another Plumbing Category

Because drains connect with fixtures and piping throughout the home, the location where you notice a problem is not always the source of the problem.

SPS can help route the concern to the appropriate service category.

P-Traps & Sink Drain Connections

If water is leaking beneath a sink because of a damaged P-trap or accessible drain connection rather than a blockage:

Toilet or Fixture Problem

If the problem is isolated to the toilet or another plumbing fixture itself:

Concealed Water Leak

If the concern involves water leaking from a supply pipe rather than wastewater drainage:

Significant Active Backup

If wastewater is actively entering the home or creating an urgent condition:

A STRAIGHTFORWARD DRAIN SERVICE PROCESS

From the First Symptom to the Appropriate Solution

01 Tell Us What's Happening

Describe which fixtures are affected, how the drains are behaving and whether the problem has happened before.

02 Evaluate the Drainage Problem

SPS evaluates the symptoms and determines where the problem is likely occurring within the accessible drainage system.

03 Recommend the Appropriate Service

Depending on the condition, the next step may involve drain cleaning, main sewer cleaning, camera inspection or hydro jetting.

04 Review Pricing

For applicable work, SPS explains the recommended service and pricing before additional approved work begins.

05 Complete the Authorized Service

The approved drain or sewer work is completed and the affected plumbing is evaluated for normal operation.

06 Explain Additional Findings

If the service identifies a condition requiring additional plumbing work, SPS explains what was observed and the appropriate next step.

WHEN THE CLOG KEEPS COMING BACK

Recurring Problems Deserve More Than Repeated Guesswork

A drain that clogs once and a drain that repeatedly clogs may not require the same approach.

If the same problem continues returning, tell SPS how often it happens and what previous service has been performed.

Depending on the condition, additional evaluation such as camera inspection or a different cleaning method may help provide more information about what is happening within the drainage system.

PROACTIVE PLUMBING CARE

Pay Attention to Changes Before They Become Major Disruptions

Changes in drain performance can develop gradually.

The SPS Residential Maintenance Program provides scheduled opportunities to review visible plumbing conditions, document developing concerns and establish an ongoing service relationship with your local plumbing team.

Eligible preventive services and member benefits vary based on the selected Maintenance Program.

What is the difference between drain cleaning and main sewer cleaning?

When might I need a camera inspection?

Camera inspection may be useful when drainage problems repeatedly return, the cause is unclear or additional visual information about accessible portions of the drain or sewer line would help determine the appropriate next step.

Does every clogged drain need hydro jetting?

No.
Hydro jetting is a more intensive cleaning method and should be used when the condition and plumbing system make it appropriate.
Many drainage problems can be addressed through conventional drain or sewer cleaning.

What does it mean if several drains are slow at once?

When multiple fixtures are affected at the same time, the concern may extend beyond one individual fixture.
Submit a Drain & Sewer Service request and identify all affected fixtures so SPS can determine an appropriate starting point.

What should I do if sewage is backing up into my home?

Stop using affected plumbing fixtures and contact SPS.
An active wastewater backup may require faster attention through Emergency Plumbing Services depending on the condition, location and service availability.

What if the problem keeps coming back after the drain was cleaned?

Tell SPS that the problem is recurring and provide any information you have about previous service.
Additional evaluation, including camera inspection or another cleaning method, may be appropriate depending on what is found.

Can SPS repair a leaking pipe under my sink?

A leaking P-trap or accessible sink drain connection is generally better handled through General Plumbing Services.
A supply-pipe leak may require General Plumbing or Leak Detection & Pipe Repair depending on the location and nature of the leak.

Can I request same-day drain service?

Same-day residential service may be available depending on property location, scheduling and project requirements.
