How much does it cost to unclog a drain professionally?

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. <br/> Updated: 2026-06-04 <br/> Need help in Pasadena, CA?
