Drain Cleaning in Wheat Ridge, CO
Clogged drain in Wheat Ridge? Big Apple Plumbing clears it the same day using a drain snake, auger, or sewer camera inspection. No guesswork, no hydro jetting gimmicks, just the right tool for the clog.
We use augers and drain snakes to break through clogs and sewer camera inspection to find out what caused the problem. No guessing. No repeat service calls for the same drain.
Our drain line service experts excel at using proven methods and techniques for:
- Drain Cleaning
- Clogged Drains
- Blocked Drains
How We Clear a Clogged Drain
Most clogs in Wheat Ridge homes come from grease, hair, soap scum, or tree roots working into older pipes. We start with a drain snake or auger to break up and clear the blockage. For drains that keep backing up after a cleaning, we run a sewer camera inspection to see exactly what’s happening inside the pipe before recommending any further work.
This two-step approach means you get a real answer, not a repeat visit next month for the same clog.
Same-Day Drain Cleaning Service
Most drain cleaning jobs in Wheat Ridge get handled the same day you call. Our trucks are stocked and our schedule stays tight.
A slow drain in one fixture is usually simple. A clog that keeps coming back, or backs up into multiple fixtures at once, points to a bigger problem in the main line. We check both so you are not paying for a repeat visit next month.
Signs You Need Drain Cleaning
Call before a slow drain turns into a backup. Common warning signs in Wheat Ridge homes:
- Water draining slow in one or more fixtures: When more than one drain is clogged or backed up, that is a tell-tale sign of a problem with the main sewer pipe drain line.
- Water backing up into other fixtures when you run the sink or flush: Look for backed up waste water in floor drains, showers and bathtubs on the first floor or basement of your home. If you spot water backing up, that is a sure sign of problems with your main sewer pipe.
- Sewage smell coming from a drain: If you detect the unmistakable smell of sewer inside or outside your home, call us for an inspection right away before the problem gets worse.
- Standing water in the tub or shower: If waste water is collecting in puddles in your lawn, there likely is a problem with the sewer line.
- The same drain clogging repeatedly: If your drain or drains or clogging every day, there is a larger issue, and it is likely a bad drain or sewer line. The best thing to do if you discover signs that your home is experiencing a bad drain and sewer line is to call the plumbing experts at Big Apple Plumbing (720) 900-1003.
That last one matters. If multiple drains are slow at once, it’s usually not a single clog. It points to a main line issue, and that’s when a camera inspection saves you from guessing. If the camera shows a cracked or root-damaged pipe, that’s a sewer line repair job, not a drain cleaning.
Kitchen Drain Cleaning
Kitchen drains clog from grease, food scraps, and soap buildup. It happens slowly and then all at once. If your kitchen sink is draining slow or standing water is sitting in the basin, that line needs to be cleared before it backs up completely.
We run an auger through the kitchen drain line to break up the blockage. If the clog is deep in the line, we use a sewer camera to locate it before we clear it.
One call. Same day. Done.
Bathroom Drain Cleaning
Hair, soap scum, and toothpaste residue build up in bathroom drains faster than most homeowners realize. A tub that drains slow, a sink that pools water, or a shower backing up during use are all signs the drain line needs to be cleared.
We clear bathroom drains with a drain snake and flush the line once it is open. If the same drain keeps clogging, we inspect it with a camera to rule out a deeper problem.
Main Line Drain Cleaning
If multiple drains in your home are slow or backing up at the same time, the problem is usually in the main sewer line, not an individual drain. This is common in older Wheat Ridge neighborhoods where tree roots are working into clay or cast iron pipes.
We use a sewer camera inspection to locate the blockage in the main line, then clear it with an auger or drain snake. If the camera shows root intrusion or a damaged section of pipe, we will walk you through your options before any work is done.
A main line backup does not fix itself. The longer it sits, the more damage it causes.
Sewer Camera Inspection
A sewer camera inspection lets us see what is inside the line without digging anything up. We feed a small camera through the drain and watch the footage in real time. You can watch it too.
This is how we know whether you have a simple clog, a buildup of grease and debris, root intrusion, a cracked pipe, or a belly in the line. The camera footage also gives us a record of what the line looks like right now, which is useful if the problem comes back.
We include camera inspection when the clog is recurring, when multiple drains are affected, or when we want to confirm the line is fully clear after cleaning.
Wheat Ridge Plumber You Can Call Today
Big Apple Plumbing serves homeowners throughout Wheat Ridge, including Applewood, Fruitdale, Kipling, and the Wheat Ridge/Town Center area. Older homes near Applewood and Fruitdale tend to have more tree root intrusion in their sewer lines simply due to mature tree cover, so a camera inspection is worth asking about if you’ve had more than one clog this year.
We pick up the phone. We show up when we say we will. And we tell you what is wrong before we ask you to approve anything.

Cast iron drain repair and main line cleaning
A 3x2 inch cast iron tee was leaking in the crawlspace. Disraeli replaced it and the surrounding pipe with new ABS, added a 2 inch cleanout on the kitchen line, then snaked the main line 100 feet to clear a backup. He recommended replacing the remaining cast iron.
Main line clog and sewer camera inspection
Toilets were bubbling when the washer drained. Disraeli snaked the main line 100 feet through the toilet flange, then ran a camera and found cracked cast iron about 25 feet out where the pipe changes to clay, followed by a back pitched section holding water. He recommended cutting out and replacing the damaged section.
