Professional Drain Cleaning & High-Pressure Jetting
Clear Pipes, Restore Flow
Why Drain Cleaning Matters
Clogged drains and sewer blockages are common but disruptive problems for homeowners and businesses. Plumbing Solved llc provides expert drain cleaning and high-pressure jetting services across Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Abiquiu, Pojoaque, White Rock, and surrounding areas. Using video inspection and advanced jetting technology, we diagnose blockages accurately and clear lines effectively—often without excavation.
Slow drains, recurring clogs, and standing water are more than inconveniences; they signal potential trouble in your plumbing system. Left untreated, blockages can lead to backups, foul odors, pipe damage, and even sewer line failure. Professional drain cleaning addresses immediate clogs and helps identify underlying issues such as tree roots, pipe collapse, grease buildup, or silt accumulation.

Our Drain Cleaning & High-Pressure Jetting Services
Video Pipe Inspection & Diagnostics
We start complex drain jobs with a video inspection:
- Locate blockages precisely
- Assess pipe condition and identify cracks, roots, or scale
- Determine the most effective clearing method
Mechanical Snaking & Root Cutting
For many standard clogs (hair, soap scum, small debris), mechanical snaking is efficient. For root intrusion, powered root cutters and specialized snakes can remove intrusions if the pipe condition allows.
High-Pressure Jetting (Advanced Jetter Services)
High-pressure jetting uses pressurized water to:
- Remove grease, sludge, and mineral scale
- Cut and dislodge tree roots from within pipes
- Clean lateral lines and main sewer lines thoroughly
Jetting restores near-new flow capacity and is typically non-destructive when used properly.
Sewer Line Cleaning & Maintenance
We clean main sewer lines using jetters sized to the line diameter. Routine sewer cleaning prevents backups and keeps systems flowing freely.
Preventive Drain Maintenance
We offer scheduled maintenance and cleaning to prevent recurring issues, especially for commercial kitchens, rental properties, and homes on older sewer mains.
Pipe Restoration Recommendations
If video inspection reveals pipe damage (cracks, breaks, severe root damage), we provide options: targeted repairs, trenchless pipe lining, or full replacement, depending on the condition and budget considerations.

Typical Drain Cleaning Process
1. Initial Assessment
We listen to concerns and ask for observable signs (slow drains, gurgling, bad odors). For severe backups, we move quickly to emergency response.
2. On-Site Diagnostics
Our technician uses a camera to inspect the affected line and locate the blockage and any hidden damage.
3. Clearing Method & Estimate
We recommend snaking, jetting, or a combination based on the diagnosis and provide a written estimate.
4. Clearing & Verification
We clear the blockage using appropriate tools and re-run the camera to confirm the line is clean and in acceptable condition.
5. Recommendations for Follow-Up
We provide tips to prevent reoccurrence (e.g., grease disposal practices) and recommend a schedule for preventive cleaning if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is high-pressure jetting and is it safe for my pipes?
High-pressure jetting uses a controlled stream of water to clean pipe interiors. When used by trained technicians, it is safe and highly effective for removing roots, grease, and scale. It’s not suitable for severely deteriorated pipes; in those cases we recommend repair or replacement.
How often should I have my sewer lines cleaned?
For most residential properties, cleaning every 12–36 months is fine. Homes with heavy grease use (kitchens) or older sewer mains may need more frequent service. Commercial kitchens often require quarterly or semi-annual cleaning.
Can you remove tree roots from a sewer line?
Yes. Jetting and mechanical cutting can remove roots. However, if the pipe is damaged where roots enter, the pipe may require repair or lining to prevent recurrence.
What causes recurring clogs in the same drain?
Recurring clogs often indicate an underlying problem: partial obstruction deep in the line, progressive tree root growth, severe grease buildup, or pipe collapse. Video inspection helps identify these root causes.
What should I do to avoid putting down my drains?
Avoid pouring grease, oil, coffee grounds, fibrous food waste, and large objects down kitchen drains. In bathrooms, avoid flushing sanitary products, wipes, and large paper items down toilets.
Preventive Tips?
- Use sink strainers and clean them regularly.
- Avoid pouring grease down drains; dispose of it in the trash.
- Periodically flush drains with hot water to help dissolve grease.
- Schedule professional inspections if you notice slow drains or gurgling sounds.
