A slow drain today is a blocked, overflowing drain tomorrow. If you have a clogged kitchen sink, a backed-up shower, or a drain that just won’t flow — A Clear Choice Plumbing and Heating provides professional drain cleaning in Englewood CO that gets results the first time, without damaging your pipes.
Drains are one of those things you only notice when they stop working. Whether it’s a kitchen drain clogged with grease and food debris, a bathroom sink blocked by hair and soap scum, or a main sewer line slowing everything in the house — a clog is never just an inconvenience. Left unresolved, it becomes a health hazard, a water damage risk, and an expensive repair.
At A Clear Choice Plumbing and Heating, we provide the best drain cleaning in Englewood for both residential and commercial properties. Our licensed plumbers use professional-grade equipment — including hydro-jetting, electric augering, and high-definition camera inspection — to clear clogs completely and diagnose the root cause so the same problem doesn’t come back two weeks later.
Englewood’s housing ranges from 1950s ranch homes to brand-new townhouses, each with different plumbing demands. The city’s freeze–thaw climate, aging infrastructure, and active redevelopment make it essential to work with an experienced Plumber Englewood CO who understands local systems and codes.
Kitchen Drain Clogs : Kitchen drain clogs are common in Englewood, caused by grease, oil, and food buildup forming “fatbergs” that restrict flow and cause backups, while store-bought cleaners only remove surface residue and can harm older pipes; we use professional augering or hydro-jetting to clear the blockage, restore flow, and clean pipe walls for a lasting solution.
Basement Floor Drain Backups:
Floor drains in older Englewood homes — particularly those built in the 1950s through 1970s — are often connected directly to the main sewer line. When the main line slows, the floor drain is usually the first to overflow. If your basement floor drain is backing up, it almost always signals a deeper sewer line issue that requires camera inspection.
Outdoor & Area Drain Clogs:
Landscape drains, driveway drains, and patio area drains can clog with leaves, mud, and debris — especially after Englewood's heavy spring runoff and summer storms. Blocked outdoor drains can direct water toward your foundation, increasing the risk of basement seepage. We clear and inspect outdoor drainage systems to keep water moving away from your home.
Bathroom Drain & Shower Clogs:
Hair, soap scum, and mineral deposits from Englewood's hard water are the usual culprits in bathroom sink and shower drain clogs. These build gradually, causing slower and slower drainage until water pools entirely. Our technicians clear these quickly and can install drain guards to slow re-accumulation.
Main Sewer Line Blockages:
When multiple drains in your home slow down at once — or when flushing the toilet causes water to rise in the bathtub — you have a main sewer line problem. In Englewood, tree root infiltration through aging clay or cast iron sewer pipes is a leading cause. Our hydro-jetting service clears roots and debris from the full length of the line.
Commercial Drain Cleaning:
Restaurants, multi-unit residential buildings, and commercial properties in Englewood deal with high-volume drain usage and stricter sanitation requirements. We service commercial drains with the capacity and scheduling flexibility that businesses need — including after-hours work to avoid disrupting operations

There’s a significant difference between a proper drain cleaning and a temporary fix. Here’s what we use and why it works:
High-pressure water scours the inside of the pipe, removing grease buildup, mineral scale, tree roots, and debris from wall to wall. Unlike a snake that only punches through the center of a clog, hydro-jetting restores the full diameter of the pipe. Best for main sewer lines, kitchen drains, and recurring clogs.
A motorized cable with a cutting head breaks through solid blockages — hair clumps, small objects, and compacted debris. Fast and effective for most bathroom and kitchen drain clogs. We use professional-grade equipment, not the consumer-level snakes that can slip or scratch pipe walls.
A flexible HD camera feeds live video from inside your drain or sewer line directly to our technician’s screen. We can pinpoint the exact location and cause of a blockage, identify cracked or collapsed sections of pipe, and confirm the line is fully clear after cleaning — all without digging.
When camera inspection reveals a cracked, corroded, or collapsed section of drain pipe — common in Englewood’s older homes with clay or cast iron lines — we offer trenchless pipe relining and targeted repair as a less invasive alternative to full excavation.
If you’re wondering how to unclog a drain in Englewood on your own — store-bought chemicals, boiling water, a basic plunger — these work for minor surface clogs. But persistent or recurring clogs almost always signal a deeper problem that DIY solutions can’t reach. Worse, chemical drain cleaners can damage older pipe materials common in Englewood’s pre-1980 housing stock.
Here’s what happens when a drain clog goes unresolved:
Slow kitchen drain (weeks): grease continues to accumulate, eventually causing full blockage + potential leak at joints
Full kitchen blockage: standing water, health risk, potential pipe joint failure — repair cost $400–$900+
Slow main sewer line: foul odors, gurgling drains, slow toilets throughout the home
Full sewer backup: sewage in basement, emergency extraction, health hazard — $1,500–$5,000+
Blocked floor drain: occasional pooling after heavy rain or laundry
Foundation water intrusion from blocked outdoor drainage — remediation $3,000–$15,000+
Professional drain cleaning in Englewood CO typically costs $150–$400 for most residential drains. That’s a fraction of what water damage, mold remediation, or emergency sewer work costs.

Use a plunger or drain snake for minor clogs. Pouring boiling water can help with light grease. Avoid chemical cleaners—they can damage pipes. If the clog persists, call a professional.
Labor typically costs $200–$400. If you need a new toilet, add $150–$600 depending on the model. Final pricing depends on flange condition and any subfloor repairs.
Grease, oil, food waste, and coffee grounds buildup are the main causes. Older pipes may also have mineral scale narrowing the line.
Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to fully clean pipes. It’s ideal for recurring clogs, grease buildup, or tree root intrusion.
Minimal. Small access cuts are required, but PEX reduces wall openings. All access points are patched after completion.
Yes. A plumbing permit and final inspection are required to ensure code compliance and protect insurance and resale value.
PEX is more cost-effective, flexible, and freeze-resistant. Copper offers long-term durability and is preferred where walls are easily accessible.
