A kitchen sink that drains slower every week, a shower that backs up mid-rinse, a floor drain that gurgles when the washer runs — these rarely fix themselves, and snaking the surface clog usually just buys a few weeks. Our Gates drain team runs camera inspections to find the actual cause.
Every drain job in Gates starts with a look inside the pipe, not a guess based on symptoms alone.
Every technician carries valid credentials and liability coverage — standard on every drain call.
Trucks stocked with jetting and camera equipment are staged around Gates so a backed-up drain doesn't sit for days.
The diagnosis determines the price, and that price is confirmed in writing before we start clearing anything.
From a single slow sink to a main line backing up into multiple fixtures, our drain technicians match the tool to the actual blockage.
High-pressure water clears grease, sludge, and scale buildup from the inside of the pipe wall, not just punching a hole through the clog like a cable snake.
A waterproof camera is fed through the line to locate the exact blockage, a bellied section, or root intrusion before any tool touches the pipe.
Cable snaking is still the right call for a simple hair or debris clog close to the fixture.
We clear root intrusion and camera-check the pipe afterward to see whether a liner or spot repair is also needed.
Grease buildup in kitchen lines is cleared with jetting, which handles congealed grease far better than a cable.
A maintenance plan on a recurring-clog line usually costs less over a year than repeat emergency calls.
Dispatch asks a few quick questions about the symptoms to route the right equipment on the first trip.
Our Gates trucks carry both cable and jetting equipment, so a second trip is rarely needed.
The line gets camera-inspected, the actual blockage identified, and a flat price quoted before any clearing begins.
We re-run the camera after clearing so you can see the difference, backed by a workmanship warranty on the service.

Ask dispatch for current camera inspection pricing when you call — it's disclosed before we schedule.
Root intrusion is common in Gates, OR on older lines; we clear it and check whether the pipe itself needs repair.
