Drain Cleaning starts with finding the actual cause.
Diagnosis and clearing for slow, clogged, or backed-up household drains. Similar symptoms can have very different causes, which is why we inspect the affected system before recommending work. Haha's explains the findings in plain language and gives you the available choices before an approved repair or installation begins.
Signs It is Time to Schedule Service
- A sink, tub or shower that drains slowly or backs up
- Gurgling from pipes or a toilet that bubbles when another fixture drains
- Repeated clogs in the same line or a sewer odor in the house
If sewage is coming up through a floor drain, tub or toilet, stop using water in the house and call. Keep people and pets out of the affected area.
What Can Cause the Problem?
Drains clog from hair, soap scum, grease, wipes, food waste and mineral buildup. A single clog is usually local. Repeated backups across several fixtures suggest a problem in the main line, such as roots, a belly or a collapsed section.
How We Diagnose Drain Cleaning
We find out which fixtures are affected, since that tells us whether the clog is in a branch or the main line. We then clear the line with the right equipment and, when it keeps coming back, confirm the cause with a camera inspection.
- 1ListenWe document what changed, when it began, and whether the problem is intermittent.
- 2TestWe check the system in a logical order and verify the failed condition.

Repair, Installation, and Cost Factors
Cost depends on the line involved, access to a cleanout, how severe the blockage is and whether a camera inspection is needed. A branch line clog costs less than a main sewer line.
We tell you what we find before moving to repair work. The $89 diagnostic fee is waived with an approved repair.
Built for Kansas City Conditions
Many older Kansas City homes have clay or cast iron lines and large trees nearby, so root intrusion is a common cause of recurring main line clogs. A camera tells you whether that is what you have.
