Prices for drain cleaning can vary widely from one

Prices for drain cleaning can vary widely from one job to another. While a simple, same-day unclogging might cost around $100 to $250, more complex issues can push the total higher, especially if the work requires camera inspections, pipe snaking through multiple fixtures, or replacing sections of piping.

Several factors commonly influence the final price. The extent and location of the clog (sink, kitchen drain, shower, or main sewer line) often determine the required tools and labor. A straightforward kitchen sink blockage is typically cheaper than a main sewer line diagnosis that may require high-pressure water jetting or camera-assisted inspection.

Emergency or after-hours service tends to add an extra service fee, as does urgent scheduling on weekends or holidays. Travel distance for the technician can incur a trip charge, particularly in rural or high-demand urban areas.
