How much does it cost to unclog a drain professionally?

Question

Accepted Answer

Professional drain unclogging with Monkey Wrench Plumbing, Heating, Air & Electric is listed at $145 flat for common single‑drain stoppages, and a drain camera inspection is $250. Final pricing depends on clog severity and the method used (motorized drain auger or hydro‑jetting) and is confirmed after an on‑site diagnosis. We also offer $50 off any plumbing or drain service and $100 off a drain camera inspection with drain cleaning, and at times promote $99 single‑drain clearing plus camera inspection specials. Our team often sees kitchen and bathroom backups around the Pasadena area linked to grease or hair buildup. When a clog returns fast, a quick camera check saves guesswork before bigger repairs. Watch for signs that can change the scope: - More than one fixture backs up at once - Cleanout shows standing sewage - Drain slows again right after clearing - Camera finds roots, corrosion, or a broken section If clogs keep coming back, book a camera inspection before using chemical cleaners.
