Drain Cleaning in Metro Detroit, MI

Fast, reliable drain cleaning and hydro jetting for homes and businesses across Southeast Michigan.

When do you need professional drain cleaning? If your drains are running slow, clogging repeatedly, gurgling, or you're seeing signs of a sewer backup, it's time to call a professional. These are not problems that resolve on their own, and the longer they're ignored, the more likely they are to turn into a bigger repair. This holds true whether you're a homeowner dealing with a stubborn kitchen sink or a business owner managing a commercial floor drain.

Heaney Plumbing & Heating has provided professional drain cleaning and hydro jetting service to residential and commercial customers throughout Macomb and Wayne Counties since 1969. Our team includes Master, Journeyman, and Apprentice Plumbers licensed by Michigan LARA, along with NATE-certified technicians and staff holding Cross Connection Control certification. Every crew we send out is fully insured, so you can trust the job is done right and done safely, whether it's a single slow drain or a full commercial sewer line.

Professional Drain Cleaning Service

When a drain is blocked or running slow, a licensed Heaney plumber starts by diagnosing exactly where the blockage is and what's causing it. From there, the technician uses mechanical snaking or augering equipment to break up or pull out the clog, working the line until it's clear. Before leaving, the technician checks that water is flowing freely through the line, so you're not left wondering whether the problem will come right back.

Types of Drains We Clean

Heaney cleans drains throughout the entire home or business, not just the kitchen sink.

What Causes a Clogged Drain?

Most clogs build up gradually from everyday use, which is why a drain that keeps clogging usually points to a deeper issue rather than a one-time problem.

• Hair and soap buildup
• Grease and cooking fat
• Food scraps and debris
• Mineral and sediment buildup
• Tree root intrusion in sewer lines
• Flushed wipes or feminine products
• Aging or collapsed pipe sections

What Is Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure stream of water to scour the inside of a pipe, clearing grease, mineral buildup, and stubborn deposits that a standard snake can't fully remove. Unlike mechanical snaking, which punches through a clog, hydro jetting cleans the entire pipe wall. A Heaney technician recommends the method based on what's actually causing the problem in your line.

What Drives the Cost of Drain Cleaning?

Drain cleaning costs depend on several factors: the type and severity of the clog, whether standard snaking or hydro jetting is needed, the location and accessibility of the drain (a floor drain is a different job than a main sewer line), and the length of pipe requiring service. A technician assesses the situation on-site and walks you through the recommended scope and cost before any work begins. Please note Heaney does not offer free estimates. We accept cash, money order, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express, and offer financing options for qualifying customers.

I only needed a service call quote for "main drain line" snaking. And they were professional and helpful, they explained why and what needs to be done. I would definitely recommend their company for any and all future repairs, 02/26/2026. My issue was a result of "tree root's" that had broken through the outdoors pipes underground.
