What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Drain Cleaning & Unclogging?
Drain cleaning & unclogging means clearing and cleaning the pipes that carry wastewater away from your sinks, tubs, showers, toilets, laundry, and floor drains.
This includes:
-
Removing hair, grease, food, soap buildup, wipes, roots, and debris
-
Clearing local fixture drains (sink, tub, shower) and branch lines
-
Cleaning main sewer lines between your home and the street or septic system
-
Flushing or jetting the inside of pipes to restore flow and reduce future clogs
It’s more than just clearing a blockage once—it’s about restoring proper flow and helping you avoid repeat clogs.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
-
Stop running water into the clogged drain:
Turn off faucets and avoid using fixtures that feed into the problem line (sink, tub, shower, washing machine, dishwasher). -
Avoid chemical drain cleaners:
Store-bought drain cleaners can damage pipes, fixtures, and finishes—and they often just move the clog further down. -
Check other fixtures:
-
If only one fixture is slow, it may be a local clog.
-
If multiple drains back up (like tubs and toilets), it may be a main line or sewer issue.
-
Don’t keep flushing:
If the toilet is backing up, stop flushing—more flushes usually mean more overflow. -
Call Active Plumbing: Call (702) 438-3357. Tell us which drains are affected and what you’re seeing (slow drain, standing water, gurgling, bad smell). We’ll advise you on immediate steps and schedule a drain cleaning visit.
Common Drain & Sewer Problems We Handle
-
Slow bathroom sinks and tubs full of hair and soap scum
-
Kitchen sink clogs from grease, food, and detergents
-
Laundry line backups when the washing machine drains
-
Toilets that keep clogging or gurgling
-
Shower drains that pool water around your feet
-
Main line backups causing water or sewage to come up in lower-level tubs or floor drains
-
Foul odors coming from drains or around floor drains
-
Tree root intrusions or broken/collapsed sewer lines (found via camera inspection)
-
If more than one drain is slow or backing up, it’s often a sign of a bigger issue in the main line—something we can diagnose and address.

Call & Scheduling
You call (702) 438-3357 and describe which drains are affected and what you’re seeing. We schedule a visit and note whether it’s a single fixture issue or a whole-house/main line problem.
On-Site Assessment
Your plumber checks the affected fixtures, tests flow, and evaluates access points (cleanouts, roof vents, etc.) to determine where and how to attack the clog.
Choose the Right Equipment
Based on what we find, we select the proper method—hand auger, cable machine, or hydro jetting—and, if needed, recommend drain camera inspection to see inside the line.
Clear the Clog & Restore Flow
We run the equipment through the drain or cleanout to break up, pull out, or flush through the blockage, working until full flow is restored (not just a small trickle).
Flush & Test Multiple Fixtures
We run water through the system, flush toilets, test nearby drains, and confirm everything flows properly without gurgling or backing up.
Clean-Up, Findings & Prevention Tips
We clean the work area, share what we found in the line (grease, wipes, roots, broken pipe, etc.), and give you practical tips or repair options to help prevent future clogs.
What’s Included
-
On-site evaluation of the affected drains or sewer line
-
Selection of appropriate equipment (hand auger, cable machine, or jetting where needed)
-
Drain or sewer line clearing through accessible cleanouts or fixture access points
-
Flow testing on affected fixtures to confirm proper drainage
-
Basic clean-up & haul-away of any debris we physically remove from access points
-
Findings & recommendations for maintenance, repair, or future prevention
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
-
Many drain cleaning jobs in Las Vegas are completed in a single visit, depending on access and severity of the clog.
-
You receive clear, upfront pricing before any work begins.
-
Costs depend on factors such as type of clog and location (single sink vs. main sewer line), access (good cleanout vs. limited access), and whether camera inspection or jetting is required.
-
Every job includes a line-item estimate showing diagnostic, labor, parts (if any), and any optional follow-up work or repairs clearly labeled.
Insurance & Claims Help
-
Most everyday drain clogs are not insurance claims, but when a sewer backup causes damage, documentation can help:
-
We can note where the backup occurred and what was found in the line.
-
Provide detailed invoices a carrier or restoration company can review.
-
Coordinate with mitigation or cleanup companies if they’re already on-site.
-
(Coverage and eligibility always depend on your specific policy and carrier; this is not financial or legal advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
-
Worsening clogs: Slow drains usually become fully blocked if ignored.
-
Water damage & sewage backups: A neglected main line clog can send wastewater into tubs, showers, and floors.
-
Bad odors & unhealthy conditions: Stagnant water and sewage can make areas unusable and unsanitary.
-
Higher repair costs later: Long-term backups can damage flooring, drywall, and finishes, making repairs more expensive.
-
Hidden pipe damage: Repeated clogs may signal roots, bellies, or broken pipe sections that get worse over time.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
-
Proper equipment for the job:
-
Hand augers for small, local clogs
-
Cable machines for tougher sink, tub, and main line blockages
-
Hydro jetting (where appropriate) for heavy grease and sludge
-
Drain cameras to visually inspect and document pipe condition
-
Pipe-safe techniques: We avoid methods that unnecessarily stress or damage pipes, fixtures, or finishes.
-
Code-aware service: We respect cleanout locations, venting, and line sizing based on local plumbing codes in Clark County and surrounding areas.
-
Prevention mindset: If we see signs of roots, offsets, or damaged pipe, we’ll explain your options for repairs or replacement instead of just clearing it and walking away.
