Whether you’re dealing with slow drains, recurring clogs, foul odors, or a complete blockage, we are committed to restoring proper flow and preventing future problems.
Advanced Drain Cleaning Technology
At Drain 1 Plumbers Inc., we do not rely on outdated or one-size-fits-all methods. We select the right equipment based on pipe size, material, length, and severity of blockage, ensuring effective cleaning without damaging your plumbing system.
Mechanical Drain Cleaning Equipment
We use a full range of RIDGID professional drain machines, including:
-
RIDGID FlexShaft® drain cleaning systems
-
RIDGID K-46, K-50, and K-60 sectional drain machines
-
RIDGID K-1500 for large-diameter and long sewer lines
These systems allow us to safely remove grease buildup, scale, roots, and debris while protecting pipe integrity.
For heavy buildup and recurring drain problems, we provide high-pressure hydro jetting services using commercial-grade power jetters.
Our hydro jetting capabilities include:
-
Residential and commercial power jetting
-
Pressure ranges from 1,500 PSI to 5,000 PSI
-
Flow rates from 1.5 GPM to 12 GPM
-
Hot water jetting for grease, scale, and commercial applications
Hydro jetting thoroughly cleans the entire pipe wall, not just a single blockage, making it ideal for restaurants, apartment buildings, underground garages, and main sewer lines.

Drain Camera Inspections & Pipe Locating
Accurate diagnosis is critical. We perform professional drain camera inspections with pipe locating and detailed reporting to identify:
-
Root intrusion
-
Broken, collapsed, or offset pipes
-
Grease buildup and scale
-
Improper slope or installation issues
We use precision inspection equipment selected based on the complexity of the system, ensuring accurate results without guesswork.
In addition to camera inspections, we use high-powered thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden issues such as:
-
Temperature variations caused by leaks
-
Blockages behind walls or under floors
-
Active water movement in concealed areas
This technology allows us to pinpoint problems while minimizing unnecessary demolition.

Cracked, collapsed, or misaligned pipes

Our team determines the exact cause before recommending any repair.
