Professional Drain Cleaning Services in Utah

A slow drain is more than an inconvenience — it’s usually a sign that something is building up inside your pipes. Whether it’s a clogged kitchen sink, a backed-up shower, a sluggish floor drain, or a full main line blockage, Drain Kingz has the tools and experience to diagnose the problem and clear it the right way.
We provide professional drain cleaning for homes, restaurants, commercial properties, and property managers across Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, and Weber counties. From a single fixture to your entire drain system, we’ll get things flowing again — fast.

Call (801) 335-9197

What We Clean

Every drain in your home or business eventually deals with buildup. Here’s what we handle:

  • Kitchen drains. Grease, oils, food particles, and soap buildup are the most common culprits. Even when hot water seems to push things through, grease cools and coats the pipe wall further down the line. We clear the full blockage, not just the surface.
  • Bathroom drains. Sinks, showers, and tubs collect hair, soap scum, and mineral residue over time. What starts as a slow drain can turn into standing water or a full backup if it's not addressed.
  • Toilet clogs and backups. Paper products, wipes, and other materials that don't break down properly can block your toilet or the drain line behind it. We use professional augers and drain snakes to clear blockages without damaging your fixtures.
  • Floor drains. Basement and utility floor drains can clog from dirt, sediment, and debris — especially in commercial settings. When these back up, you're dealing with standing water and potential flooding.
  • Main line clogs. When multiple fixtures are slow or backing up at the same time, the problem is usually in your main drain line. This is the pipe that carries everything from your home or building out to the sewer. Main line clogs require professional equipment and experience to clear properly.
  • Secondary line clogs. Not every blockage is in the main line. Sometimes the clog is in a branch line that serves one section of your home or building. We have the equipment to reach these harder-to-access lines and clear them without guesswork.
  • Sewer line cleaning. When buildup, debris, or root intrusion affects your sewer line, we clean the full line to restore proper flow. For more serious sewer line issues like cracks or damage, see our sewer line repair & replacement services.

What's Causing Your Drain Problem?

Understanding what’s behind a clog helps us fix it right the first time and helps prevent it from coming back.

  • Grease and food buildup. The number one cause of kitchen drain clogs. Grease solidifies inside the pipe and traps food particles, creating a blockage that gets worse over time.
  • Hair and soap residue. Bathroom drains deal with this constantly. Hair binds with soap scum and mineral deposits to form dense clogs that resist store-bought drain cleaners.
  • Hard water mineral buildup. Utah's hard water leaves mineral deposits inside your pipes, gradually narrowing the diameter and making it easier for other debris to catch and collect.
  • Paper products and wipes. Even products labeled flushable don't break down like toilet paper. They're one of the most common causes of toilet and sewer line blockages.
  • Tree root intrusion. Roots seek out moisture and can enter your sewer or drain line through small cracks or joints. Once inside, they grow and create recurring blockages that won't stay clear without proper removal. We use professional methods to cut and remove root intrusion, and we can pair this with a camera inspection (link to /sewer-camera-inspections) to check for pipe damage.

How We Clear Your Drains

We don’t just poke a hole through a clog and call it done. The method we use depends on the type of blockage, the condition of your pipes, and where the problem is located.

Drain snaking and augers

For straightforward clogs like hair, paper, and food buildup, a professional drain snake or auger is often the right tool. We carry standard and battery-powered augers to handle everything from a simple sink clog to tougher blockages that a basic snake can’t reach. Unlike DIY attempts, our technicians know how to operate this equipment without damaging your pipes, drain lines, or fixtures.

Picote milling

For heavy calcium buildup and scale that’s narrowed the inside of your pipe, we use Picote equipment to break up the deposits and restore the pipe’s original diameter. This is especially effective for older pipes with years of mineral accumulation.

Hydro jetting

When buildup coats the pipe walls or the blockage is deeper in the line, hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of the pipe clean. It removes grease, scale, roots, and debris. Not just a path through the clog, but the full buildup. Learn more about our hydro jetting services.

Sewer camera inspections

When the cause of a drain problem isn’t obvious, or when clogs keep coming back, a camera inspection shows us exactly what’s going on inside the line. We use this to identify root intrusion, pipe damage, hidden blockages, and buildup that external inspection would miss. Learn more about our sewer camera inspection services.

The right approach depends on your situation. We assess the problem first and recommend the solution that actually fixes it, not the most expensive one.

Residential and Commercial Drain Cleaning

Drain problems don’t care whether it’s a house or a business. We serve both, and we understand that the needs are different.

“Great company… They showed up after short notice. Told me what he was going to do to fix my clog and got it taken care of way faster than I thought. And the price reasonable. To be honest I wouldn’t mind paying a little more, just because of the work ethic.” – Doug Silva

Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning

  • Sinks, tubs, or showers draining slower than usual
  • Recurring clogs in the same fixture
  • Foul odors coming from any drain
  • Gurgling or bubbling sounds from pipes
  • Multiple drains backing up at the same time
  • Standing water that takes too long to clear
  • Water backing up into other fixtures when you run the washing machine or flush the toilet
Don’t wait for a slow drain to turn into a full backup. The longer buildup sits in your pipes, the harder and more expensive it is to remove.Call us at (801) 335-9197 to schedule an assessment.

Drain Cleaning FAQ's

How do I know if I need professional drain cleaning or if I can fix it myself?
If a plunger clears the issue and it doesn't come back, you're probably fine. But if you're dealing with recurring clogs, slow drainage in multiple fixtures, or bad odors, the problem is deeper than what you can reach from the surface. Store-bought drain cleaners usually just create a temporary opening without removing the actual buildup, and the chemicals can damage your pipes over time.
How long does a drain cleaning service take?
Most single-drain clogs can be cleared in under an hour. Main line clogs or more complex jobs that require camera inspection or hydro jetting may take longer depending on the severity. We'll give you a time estimate before we start.
What's the difference between drain snaking and hydro jetting?
Drain snaking breaks through a clog to restore flow. Hydro jetting goes further. It uses high-pressure water to clean the entire inside of the pipe, removing buildup from the walls. Snaking is usually enough for a simple clog. Hydro jetting is better for heavy buildup, grease, roots, or recurring problems. We'll recommend the right method based on what we find.
Do you clean drains for restaurants and commercial buildings?
Yes. We serve homes, restaurants, commercial properties, and property managers. Commercial drain systems deal with heavier use and different types of buildup, and we have the equipment and experience to handle it.
How often should I have my drains professionally cleaned?
For most homes, an annual drain cleaning helps prevent buildup from becoming a problem. Restaurants and commercial properties with heavy drain usage typically benefit from more frequent service. We offer preventative maintenance plans that include regular drain evaluations so you're not waiting for an emergency to find out there's an issue.
Can tree roots really get into my drain or sewer line?
Yes, and it's more common than most people expect. Roots are drawn to the moisture inside your pipes and can enter through small cracks or joints. Once inside, they grow and create blockages that keep coming back. We remove root intrusion and can inspect the line with a camera to check for damage that may need repair.
