Drain Repair & Maintenance Services
Even the most reliable plumbing system needs attention over time. Soap, grease, and minerals slowly accumulate inside pipes, reducing flow and putting extra pressure on your system. On Mercer Island, tree roots and shifting soil can also lead to cracks or misaligned sewer lines.
Our licensed plumbers begin every visit with a detailed inspection — often using a camera drain inspection to locate the problem. Once we identify what’s causing the issue, we’ll explain your options clearly. Whether it’s a quick snaking, a full hydrojet cleaning, or a targeted repair, our team focuses on long-lasting solutions instead of temporary fixes.
Routine maintenance is the easiest way to prevent emergency drain calls. By scheduling regular inspections, you protect your plumbing, extend pipe life, and avoid unexpected water damage — especially during Mercer Island’s wettest months.
What you can expect:
Honest communication and clear explanations.
Solutions tailored to your home, not one-size-fits-all.
Professional work with total respect for your property.

Drain Cleaning & Unclogging Services
Clogs can happen anywhere — in the kitchen, bathroom, or deep within your main sewer line. Our plumbers use advanced methods to remove buildup and restore proper flow without chemicals or damage. We service both residential and commercial properties across Mercer Island, handling everything from slow drains to emergency overflows.
Mercer Island Drain & Sewer Cleaning Experts
Mercer Island homes often feature long, tree-lined driveways and mature landscaping — perfect conditions for underground root intrusion and shifting pipes. Ben’s Plumbing technicians know the area’s infrastructure and apply proven methods to restore your plumbing efficiently.
Hydrojet Drain Cleaning
When grease, soap scum, or mineral buildup narrow your pipes, hydrojetting offers a complete clean. Using high-pressure water, it blasts away years of debris and restores full flow without harsh chemicals. Hydrojetting is ideal for main sewer lines, restaurant drains, or homes that experience frequent slowdowns.
Rooter Service
Roots searching for water can break into joints or small cracks in your sewer line. Our rooter service cuts through those obstructions, restoring clear flow safely. Afterward, we run a camera inspection to verify the line is clean and detect any structural damage. For properties with dense tree coverage, we can set up maintenance schedules to prevent future root problems.
Drain Snake Services
For smaller clogs near sinks, tubs, or floor drains, professional snaking is quick and effective. Our flexible cables reach the obstruction, break it apart, and restore flow without damaging your pipes — ideal for everyday drain issues like soap, hair, or kitchen residue.
Clogged Toilet Repair
A clogged toilet can disrupt your day in an instant. Our plumbers use specialized tools to remove deep blockages that a plunger can’t handle. We ensure the line is fully cleared and test nearby fixtures to confirm your system is running smoothly again.
Shower or Bathtub Drain Cleaning
Standing water in the tub is more than an annoyance — it’s a sign of buildup just below the drain. We clear soap residue, hair, and mineral deposits to restore fast drainage. To keep things flowing, we’ll also share easy maintenance tips for preventing clogs between cleanings.
Kitchen Sink Drain Cleaning
Kitchen drains handle the toughest workload in the home. Oils, grease, and food waste gradually create sticky buildup that traps debris. Our kitchen sink drain cleaning service removes that buildup and flushes the entire line for lasting results. If recurring issues point to a deeper problem, we’ll inspect the main line for hidden blockages.
Emergency Drain Cleaning
When a drain backs up at night or on the weekend, you need fast help. Ben’s Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency drain cleaning on Mercer Island, restoring your plumbing safely and quickly. Our team responds promptly, locates the source of the problem, and makes sure your system is back to normal before we leave.

Signs Your Sewer Needs Drain Cleaning
Most plumbing problems don’t happen overnight. They build up gradually — a little soap residue here, some grease there, or a few tree roots working their way into the line. Over time, this buildup narrows the pipe until water can barely pass through. Recognizing the early signs of a sewer issue can save you from expensive repairs, water damage, and a lot of stress down the road.
Common warning signs to watch for:
- Multiple slow drains: When more than one sink, tub, or toilet drains slowly, the problem is rarely isolated — it’s often a blockage forming deeper in your main sewer line.
- Unusual gurgling or bubbling sounds: These noises come from air trapped behind buildup or roots inside your pipes.
- Unpleasant odors: Sewer gas smells or musty odors near drains indicate stagnant water or partial blockages.
- Water backing up: If water appears in one fixture when you use another (for example, water in the tub when the washing machine drains), it’s a strong sign your main line is obstructed.
- Frequent or recurring clogs: Repeated blockages in the same area suggest that buildup or roots are coming back — not just surface debris.
When these symptoms appear, it’s best not to wait. A professional drain inspection and cleaning from Ben’s Plumbing can pinpoint the cause using high-resolution cameras and remove buildup before it turns into a full sewer backup.
Cost of Drain Cleaning & Repair in Mercer Island
The cost for drain cleaning depends on the type and severity of the blockage. Minor kitchen or bathroom clogs may only need a quick snaking, while tougher buildup or root intrusion could require hydrojetting or repair.
Our most common services include routine drain cleaning for sinks and tubs, along with powerful hydrojet cleaning for main lines and heavy buildup. We also provide root removal for sewer line intrusions and use camera inspections to confirm damage or assess overall pipe condition.
Ben’s Plumbing always provides upfront pricing before we begin any work. You’ll understand your options clearly — with no hidden fees, ever.
