A clogged drain in your kitchen is an inconvenience. A clogged main line is a flooded basement. DW Plumbing handles both, plus everything in between, across Indianapolis and the surrounding communities. We snake, jet, and camera-verify drains for homeowners, landlords, restaurants, and commercial properties from Carmel to Greenwood.
Mechanical drain cleaning (snaking and cabling). The right choice for soft blockages, hair, food waste, and accumulating buildup in fixture drains, branch lines, and short main runs. Fast, affordable, effective for most everyday clogs.
Hydro jetting. High-pressure water cuts through grease, scale, root mass, and compacted sludge that a cable cannot break up. We recommend jetting for restaurants, older homes with cast iron lines, and any home where the same drain clogs more than once a year.
Main line clearing. When the main sewer is blocked, every fixture in the house is affected at once. We open the main, clear it, and scope it so you know whether it was a one-time clog or a sign of something deeper.
Floor drain and laundry drain cleaning. Common in basements across Lawrence, Beech Grove, and Warren Park where lint and detergent build up over decades.
Camera verification after cleaning. For any recurring drain, we run a sewer camera inspection after clearing the line so you see exactly what caused the problem and whether it is likely to come back.
You do not have to wait for a full backup. Catching a slow drain early costs less and prevents water damage.
If you are seeing the last two together, that is a main line problem and you should not keep using water until it is cleared
Over-the-counter drain cleaners are caustic, slow, and often make a plumber’s job harder. They eat at older pipes, especially the cast iron and galvanized lines still common in homes built before 1985 across central Indiana. We see corroded fittings every week that started with repeated chemical use. Mechanical cleaning is faster, safer, and the result lasts longer.
Grease is the #1 drain killer in commercial kitchens. We handle scheduled hydro jetting, grease trap line maintenance, and emergency response for restaurants, schools, churches, and office buildings throughout Marion County. We document each visit so you have a clean record for health department review and insurance.
A backed up main at 11 p.m. on a Saturday is exactly when most plumbers are unreachable. DW Plumbing answers around the clock for true emergencies across Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Greenwood, Lawrence, Cumberland, Warren Park, New Palestine, Beech Grove, and Southport. If sewage is coming up into the house, do not wait until Monday.

Most residential snaking calls fall in a predictable price band that we quote upfront. Hydro jetting costs more because the equipment, water volume, and time involved are greater, but it solves problems that snaking cannot. Commercial jobs are quoted based on line length, access, and frequency.
We never run a job past the original estimate without telling you first. If we get into the line and find something we did not expect, we stop and call.
Can I just use a drain snake from the hardware store?
For a single slow bathroom drain, sometimes. For anything beyond a fixture trap, you risk damaging the line or pushing the blockage deeper. Per the CDC’s guidance on safe water and sanitation, keeping wastewater systems flowing properly is a public health issue, not just a plumbing one.
How often should I have my drains cleaned?
For homes with mature trees or older clay sewer laterals, every 12 to 18 months. For most modern homes with PVC laterals, only when symptoms appear. Restaurants should jet their grease lines on a quarterly schedule.
Do you guarantee drain cleaning work?
Yes, on standard residential clogs. The guarantee period depends on the cause. We will explain the terms before we start the job.
Will hydro jetting damage my pipes?
No, when done at the right pressure for the line material. Cast iron and PVC handle jetting well. Older clay tile and damaged sections are evaluated on the camera first.
We answer fast. Reach us through our contact page or call directly. Same-day service is the rule, not the exception.
