Overview

Why the main line matters

Your main sewer line carries wastewater from every sink, toilet, shower and appliance out of the house. When it’s restricted, the whole system backs up — and ignoring it risks water damage, costly repairs and sewage exposure.

Professional cleaning clears the blockage and the buildup behind it, so it doesn’t come right back.

Main Line Drain Cleaning in Minneapolis: FAQ

How long does main line cleaning take in Minneapolis?

Our $245 main line price includes up to 1.5 hours of work and up to 100 feet of line. If the tech finds the job is different from what you described, you’ll get a new quote before any added work.

Can you clean my main line on a weekend in Minneapolis?

Yes, we’re open 24/7, including weekends. Weekend appointments may include an additional service fee. Note that the $295 main line cleaning with full camera inspection is offered Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM.

How much does main line cleaning cost?

Main line cleaning is $245 for up to 100 feet, including up to 1.5 hours of service. With a full camera inspection it’s $295 (Monday–Friday, 8 AM–4 PM). Hydro jetting is quoted by pipe size and how much buildup we find.

Do you charge a trip charge?

We quote you a price over the phone, and if you accept, we don’t charge for the trip to your home — even if the estimate changes before we start. A trip charge may apply only if the location is more than 15 miles from our office.

Do you charge more after hours?

We’re available 24/7. Weekend and evening appointments may include an additional $95 fee, and emergency or out-of-area service may include an additional $150 fee, to cover rapid response.

What is hydro jetting and when is it recommended?

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of your pipes, removing buildup, grease, scale and even tree roots. We recommend it for severe or recurring clogs and as preventative maintenance, especially for main sewer lines and commercial properties.
