Drain Cleaning

A slow drain is annoying. A fully clogged drain can stop your day. After Hours Plumbing provides fast, thorough drain cleaning services to homes and businesses across Athens GA, Watkinsville, Bogart, Winterville, Statham, Winder, and all of Oconee County. Whether it is a single sink that drains too slowly or a main line backing up into multiple fixtures at once, our licensed plumbers diagnose the real cause and clear the blockage the right way.

We use modern drain-cleaning equipment rather than harsh store-bought chemicals that damage pipes. For kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and floor drains, our technicians use motorized augers (drain snakes) sized correctly for the line. For tougher stoppages — grease in kitchen lines, soap scum and hair in tubs, scale buildup in older galvanized pipe — we use commercial-grade cabling and, when needed, high-pressure hydro-jetting to scour the inside of the pipe back to a like-new flow.

When clogs keep coming back, the problem is usually deeper than the fixture. A recurring backup in a tub or basement floor drain often points to a main-line obstruction: tree roots intruding into a clay or cast-iron sewer line, a sagging pipe holding waste, or a partial collapse. We use sewer cameras to inspect the inside of your lines, confirm the cause, and recommend the most cost-effective fix — whether that is a one-time cleaning, regular maintenance, or a sewer repair.

As an Athens GA owned plumbing company, we are upfront about what your drain actually needs. We will not sell you a hydro-jet when a simple snake will do, and we will not bandage a serious main-line problem with a temporary clear-out. Every drain cleaning service includes upfront pricing, full cleanup, and a workmanship warranty on the line we cleared.
