drain cleaning

A clogged drain has a way of ruining your day. One minute you’re rinsing dishes, the next you’re staring at a sink full of murky water that won’t go down.

We’re a family-owned company based right here in Longmont. We know these winters. We know the older homes near Old Town with aging hydronic systems, and we know the custom builds out in Prospect New Town running radiant floor heat. Whether your boiler needs a quick repair, a full replacement, or just an annual tune-up, our licensed and insured technicians are ready to help.

At EP Plumbing, we’ve spent years clearing drains for homeowners and businesses all across Longmont and Boulder County. We know the local plumbing quirks, from aging sewer lines in older neighborhoods near Downtown Longmont to the tree roots that sneak into pipes along the city’s leafy streets. Whether it’s a slow bathroom sink or a full main-line backup, we bring the right tools and the honest guidance to fix it right the first time.

Our Drain Cleaning Services in Longmont, CO

No two clogs are exactly alike. A greasy kitchen line needs a different approach than a root-invaded sewer main. That’s why our drain cleaning service covers the full range of residential and commercial drain problems, backed by professional equipment and technicians who know how to diagnose the real issue, not just push the water through and hope for the best.

Kitchen and Bathroom Drain Cleaning

Kitchen and bathroom drains take the most daily abuse, so they’re the ones we clear most often.

In the kitchen, grease buildup and food waste are the usual suspects. Grease looks harmless when it’s warm and liquid, but it hardens inside your pipes like candle wax, narrowing the line until water barely trickles through. If you’re dealing with a slow draining sink repair in Longmont or a fully clogged kitchen drain, we clear the buildup and get flow back to normal.

Bathrooms tell a different story. Here it’s hair, soap scum, and toothpaste that clump together into a dense plug. We handle:

  • Bathroom sink and vanity drains
  • Shower and tub drains slowed by hair and soap
  • Toilet clogs from paper or foreign objects
  • Laundry drains backed up with lint and detergent residue

We use the right method for each fixture, whether that’s a drain snake or a more thorough cleaning for recurring problems.

Main Sewer Line Cleaning and Rooter Service

When every drain in the house slows down at once, or you notice gurgling and drain odors, the problem is usually in the main line. Main drain line cleaning often means clearing tree roots, grease, or a blocked cleanout before the whole system backs up.

Our rooter service uses powerful machines to cut through roots and break up heavy blockages deep in the sewer line. For homes on Longmont’s older tree-lined streets, root intrusion is one of the most common reasons a main line fails, and a rooter is often the fastest fix.

Hydro Jetting for Stubborn Clogs

Sometimes snaking isn’t enough. That’s where hydro jetting comes in.

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water jetting, up to several thousand PSI, to blast the inside of your pipes completely clean. Instead of just poking a hole through a clog, it scours the pipe walls, removing:

  • Years of grease buildup
  • Sludge and sediment
  • Mineral scale from Longmont’s hard water
  • Root debris left behind after cutting
  • Zone valve failure leaving one part of the house cold

We usually recommend hydro jetting for recurring clogs, restaurants and commercial kitchens, and sewer lines that keep failing. The result is a pipe that flows like new and stays clear far longer than a quick snaking.

Video Camera Drain Inspection

Guesswork gets expensive. A video camera inspection lets us see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes.

We feed a waterproof camera down the line and watch a live feed on-screen. This helps us:

  • Pinpoint hidden blockages and their exact location
  • Spot tree roots working their way in
  • Detect cracked, offset, or collapsed pipe
  • Confirm the line is actually clean after we finish

For recurring drain problems, a camera inspection is often the smartest first step. It’s also how we help homeowners avoid unnecessary digging or repairs, because we don’t guess, we look.

Emergency Drain Cleaning and Backup Removal

Some clogs can’t wait until Monday. Sewage backing up into a tub, an overflowing toilet, or multiple drains failing at once is a genuine emergency, and it needs fast attention before it turns into water damage.

Our emergency drain cleaning handles standing water, sewer line backups, flooding from clogged drains, and commercial drain emergencies. Our service vehicles come fully equipped with snakes, jetters, and diagnostic cameras, so we can find and fix the problem in a single visit whenever possible.

Drain Cleaning FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Drain Cleaning in Longmont, CO

Common culprits include grease buildup and food waste in kitchens, hair and soap in bathrooms, mineral deposits from hard water, tree roots invading sewer lines (especially in older neighborhoods), and foreign objects. Longmont’s bentonite clay and freeze-thaw cycles also contribute to recurring drain problems.

Call a pro if you experience recurring clogs, slow drains in multiple fixtures, gurgling sounds, bad odors, or water backing up. These signs indicate the problem is beyond a simple DIY fix and likely requires professional drain cleaning in Longmont.

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water (up to several thousand PSI) to blast pipes completely clean, removing grease, sludge, and mineral scale. Choose it over snaking for recurring clogs, heavy buildup, commercial kitchens, or when you want a thorough sewer line cleaning that stays clear longer.

A waterproof camera feeds into your line while technicians watch a live video feed on-screen. This pinpoints blockages, spots tree roots, detects cracked or collapsed pipes, and confirms lines are clean after service—eliminating guesswork and unnecessary digging.

Yes, absolutely. Roots seek moisture and creep into small cracks in pipes, especially in Longmont’s older clay and cast-iron lines. Over time, they can fully block or break the pipe, making rooter service necessary to prevent major backups and costly repairs.
