About drain cleaning in Puyallup

Puyallup is a valley city with an older downtown, mid-century neighborhoods and a lot of newer subdivisions climbing the hills.

Mid-century homes around Puyallup usually have one main line running out to the street, and roots finding the joints is a frequent reason a drain keeps coming back.

Most clogs are hair, soap, grease, paper or a dropped item. We clear the blockage, test the drain, and if the same drain has clogged before we will tell you whether it looks like a one-off or a sign of a deeper line problem.

In Puyallup you often see a mix of older and newer houses on the same street, and the age of the house usually predicts what plumbing is inside it.
