How much does drain cleaning cost?

Drain cleaning with The Plumbing Authority is $93 to clear a clogged drain, or it’s free under our current offer. This price typically applies when a standard snaking clears a routine fixture clog. We provide up-front pricing, and final cost is confirmed after an on-site evaluation because the needed method can change based on what’s in the line. Backed by 30+ years serving Knoxville homes, we match the solution to your pipe material and the kind of blockage we find.

If the clog is more complex, scope and price can change based on:

  • Main line involvement or multiple backed-up fixtures
  • Heavy grease, scale, or roots that warrant hydro-jetting
  • Hidden or hard-to-reach cleanouts that require access prep
  • Foreign objects, trap rebuilds, or a recommended camera inspection

If sewage is backing up into drains, avoid running water and seek prompt service.
