01
✓
Full Drain Line Assessment
We check every fixture tied to the clogged line, inspect cleanouts, and look for signs of root intrusion or grease buildup. This tells us which tool clears the blockage fastest and whether the problem is local or in the main line.
02
✓
Mechanical Clog Removal
We clear the blockage with a drain snake, drain auger, or rooter machine depending on what's in the line. Hair clogs, soap scum, grease buildup, and root intrusion all get handled with the right tool on the first trip.
03
✓
Hydro Jetting When Needed
If the line is packed with grease or scale, we run a hydro jetting machine to scour the pipe walls clean. This isn't just punching a hole through the clog; it removes the buildup that causes repeat backups.
04
✓
Camera Verification
After clearing, we run a sewer camera or inspection crawler down the line. You see the footage and know the pipe is clean and intact. If we find a bellied pipe or crack, we show you and explain repair options.

Real results
Before and after.
Emergency Drain Cleaning
Main Line Root Removal in Blue Ridge
A homeowner in Blue Ridge had sewage backing up into the basement floor drain every time the washing machine drained. A previous company snaked the line twice, but the backup returned within weeks. The pipe was full of tree roots.
After: We ran a rooter machine with a root cutting chain through the main line, pulled out a bucket of roots, then cameraed the pipe to confirm it was clear. Flow was strong across all fixtures. The backup hasn't returned.
A restaurant in Greer Station had a kitchen line that drained slow for weeks, then backed up completely during dinner service. The grease trap was full and the branch line was coated with hardened grease.
After: We pumped the grease trap, hydro jetted the kitchen line, and checked the baffles. Flow was restored in under two hours. The kitchen was back in service the same night.
After a heavy spring storm, a Lake Robinson homeowner had water pooling against the foundation and seeping into the garage. The storm drain and catch basin were packed with leaves and debris.
After: We cleared the catch basin, jetted the storm drain line, and checked the outlet pipe. Water drained away within 30 minutes. The garage stayed dry through the next storm.

Emergency Drain Cleaning Pricing in Greer
$180 - $850 depending on scope
Typical 2026 pricing for emergency drain cleaning in Greer runs $180 to $450 for most residential calls. After-hours, weekend, and holiday jobs add a modest emergency surcharge that we quote before we start. Main line clogs, root intrusion, and jobs that need hydro jetting or camera inspection cost more because they take longer and use more equipment. We give you a clear price before any work begins. No hidden fees, no surprise charges at 3 a.m.
Emergency drain cleaning is cheaper than water damage repair. A $300 call that stops a sewer backup saves thousands in flooring, drywall, and mold remediation. We price the job upfront so you can decide with clear numbers.
Time of Day
•affects cost
Overnight, weekend, and holiday calls carry an emergency surcharge. A 2 a.m. call costs more than a 2 p.m. call because we're pulling a tech from off-duty hours. We quote the total before we dispatch.
A bathroom sink clog clears in 20 minutes. A main sewer line blockage 60 feet out takes longer and uses a rooter machine. The farther and deeper the clog, the higher the labor.
Cast iron pipe with heavy scale buildup takes more work than smooth PVC. If we find a bellied pipe or collapsed sewer line, the job shifts from cleaning to repair, which changes the price.
A drain snake job is cheaper than a hydro jetting job. If roots need a root cutting chain or the line needs a sewer camera inspection, that adds equipment time. We tell you before we switch tools.

What Greer Customers Say
★★★★★
“Our main line backed up at 11 p.m. on a Friday and water was coming up through the basement floor drain. I called Drain Cleaning Pros and a tech was here in about 75 minutes. He ran a rooter machine through the line, pulled out a mess of roots, then cameraed it to show me the pipe was clear. Price was fair for an after-hours call.”

“Kitchen sink stopped draining completely and the dishwasher backed up into it. I called at 7 a.m. and they had a tech out before 9. He snaked the line, then hydro jetted it because of all the grease. Haven't had a problem since. He also showed me how to keep grease out of the drain.”
