A slow drain isn't just a nuisance. It's often the first warning that something bigger is building up in your pipes, and the sooner it's cleared, the less chance you have of a full backup at the worst possible moment.
Signs You Need a Drain Cleaned
Most people wait too long. If you're noticing any of these, it's worth a call before it turns into a mess:
If several drains are acting up at once, that's a different problem than a single clogged sink, and it's a good idea to have someone look at it. Give us a call at (970) 999-1398 and we'll help you figure out what you're dealing with.
What Drain Cleaning Can Address
Clogs build from the everyday stuff that goes down your drains. In kitchens it's grease, food, and soap. In bathrooms it's hair and product buildup. Over time these narrow the pipe until water can barely get through. Our team clears kitchen and bathroom sink drains, tub and shower drains, toilets, floor drains, and the main lines that tie them together.
Some clogs sit close to the fixture and come out fast. Others are deeper in the line, or they're a symptom of something further down like roots or a damaged pipe. When a clog keeps coming back after it's cleared, that's often a bigger issue in the main line, and it may be worth looking at sewer line service instead of clearing the same spot again and again.
How We Approach the Problem
We start by finding out what's clogged, not just where the symptom shows up. A backed-up basement drain and a slow bathroom sink can look similar but come from different causes. We ask questions, check which fixtures are affected, and work the line to clear the blockage without tearing apart anything that doesn't need it.
If the clog is a repeat problem or points to something in the sewer line, we'll tell you straight. Our goal is to fix the cause, not push the clog down the pipe so it comes back next month.
Homes and Businesses, Both Covered
We clear drains for Fort Collins homeowners and for local businesses. A clogged drain in a house is a headache. In a restaurant, salon, or office, it can shut you down. Commercial lines see heavier use and different buildup, and we handle both. If you run a business and want this handled with minimal disruption, mention that when you call and we'll work around your hours where we can.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can't I just use a store-bought drain cleaner?
Sometimes it works on a minor clog. But those chemicals can sit in the pipe when the clog is stubborn, and repeated use can be hard on older plumbing. If a clog keeps coming back or a cleaner isn't touching it, the blockage is deeper than a bottle can reach. Call us at (970) 999-1398.
Do you clear main line clogs, not just sinks?
Yes. We handle individual fixture drains and the main lines they connect to. If more than one fixture is backing up at once, that usually points to the main line, and that's exactly the kind of thing we sort out.
What causes a drain to clog over and over?
Recurring clogs in the same spot often mean the real problem is further down the line: heavy buildup, a partial blockage in the main, or roots and pipe damage in the sewer line. Clearing the same spot repeatedly is a bandage. We'd rather find the cause. If this sounds like your situation, our sewer line service is worth asking about.
Do you handle commercial drain cleaning?
We do. We work with Fort Collins and Northern Colorado businesses as well as homeowners. Commercial drains take a beating, and we're set up to handle that.
How do I know if it's a clog or something worse?
That's what we're for. A one-off slow sink is usually a simple clog. Multiple slow drains, sewage smells, or backups that keep returning can point to a bigger issue. Call and describe what's happening, and we'll help you figure it out.
