The rate sheet
Flat rates by who is calling
Each flat rate is for one visit, agreed on the phone before a truck is booked.
Homes
One line, cleaned from the cleanout or the nearest access.
Kitchen line
The sink, the dishwasher branch and the line behind them.
Main sewer line
From the cleanout to the city tap or the septic tank, up to 100 feet.
Restaurants and shops
Booked as a repeat stop, outside your busy hours.
Floor drain, each
Jetted and flushed, with a photo of the open drain afterward.

The line behind a row of fixtures, from the nearest cleanout.
Apartment buildings
One booking for the building, one invoice for each unit's line.
Kitchen stack, each
Jetted from the roof vent or the lowest cleanout, one stack.
Laundry room drain
The shared standpipes and floor drain in one room.
Building main
The main to the street, with a camera look and report for the owner's file.
Flat rates are for lines reachable from a cleanout. What moves them is listed below.
What moves the number
Five things that make a flat rate go up
Roots
The main line needs the cutting head, a slower pass and more flushing.
Heavy grease or scale
A second pass, because the first one only opens a path.
No cleanout
A toilet has to be pulled and reset to reach the line.
A long line
Past 100 feet we add by the 50 feet, so a long run is easy to price.
A break the camera finds
A cracked or collapsed pipe isn't cleaned, it's repaired, and that's a separate quote.
How the pricing works
From first call to the invoice
- 01
Step 1: What a flat rate includes
Travel, setup, the jetting pass or passes in the row, a flush to confirm it runs, and cleanup of the work area. It leaves out repair of the pipe itself, any wall or floor repair, and permits for a repair.
- 02
Step 2: What happens at the visit
The operator checks flow, jets, runs the camera if you added it, flushes and shows you the result before leaving. Nothing is added without your yes.
- 03
Step 3: When you get the number
On the phone before we book, by text the day before, and in writing on the invoice. If the camera shows a different problem, work stops until you have a new number.
- 04
Step 4: Nights and weekends
We don't run them. Routes are Monday to Friday and Saturday morning is for call-ins, at the same flat rates.
Rates
What people ask about the price
When do I hear the price?
On the phone, before we book a truck, and again by text the day before your route day. The flat rate is for the work we agreed on the phone. If the camera shows something that needs a different fix, the operator stops and tells you before doing more.
What makes a flat rate go up?
A line over 100 feet, roots that need the cutting head, a heavy second pass of grease or scale, or a main line with no cleanout so a toilet has to be pulled. Each one is named on the phone before we book, so you know what the flat rate covers.
Do you charge extra for nights and weekends?
We don't run nights or Sundays. Routes run Monday to Friday, and Saturday morning is for call-ins. Calls after 5 p.m. get a call back at 7 a.m.
Is the camera part of the flat rate?
It is an added row, so you choose. On a main line we suggest it, because it shows whether roots or a broken pipe made the clog. The camera look comes with a written report of what it found and photos.
