Schedule ServiceClogged drains are one of the most common calls we run in Athens, GA. After Hours Plumbing offers professional drain cleaning in Athens using the right tool for the job — cable snake, hydro-jet, or camera inspection — instead of just pouring chemicals down and hoping.
Whether it's a slow bathroom sink, a backed-up kitchen line, or a main sewer that's overflowing in the yard, our Athens drain cleaning trucks arrive stocked and ready to clear the line the same day you call.
For most residential clogs in Athens — kitchen sinks, tubs, laundry lines, and toilets — a professional cable snake clears the blockage quickly and affordably.
For main lines, restaurant grease lines, and root-invaded sewer laterals, we use high-pressure hydro-jetting to scour the pipe walls back to their full diameter.
If a drain keeps clogging, guessing is expensive. We run a camera down the line so you can see exactly what's causing the problem in your Athens home — roots, a belly, a broken section, or years of grease.
For rentals, restaurants, and older Athens homes with a history of backups, we offer scheduled drain maintenance to prevent 2 AM emergencies.
Home to more than 125,000 residents and the University of Georgia, Athens is a vibrant college city with a mix of historic homes, student rentals, and growing residential neighborhoods.

We recommend against it. Caustic drain chemicals rarely clear a real clog and can damage pipes, fixtures, and traps — which becomes a much larger repair.
Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) to scour the interior of a drain or sewer line, removing grease, scale, roots, and buildup that a snake can only punch a hole through.
Both, depending on the situation. If a drain keeps clogging, we camera before to find the cause; on major sewer jobs, we camera after to confirm the line is clean.
In most cases, yes. Hydro-jetting with a root-cutting nozzle removes roots without excavation. If the pipe is broken or collapsed, we'll show you the camera footage and discuss repair options.
