Drain Cleaning in Fort Lauderdale

We recommend professional drain cleaning annually for most homes, or every 6 months for older properties or those with trees near sewer lines.

Common causes include grease buildup, hair, soap scum, tree root intrusion, and foreign objects. Our camera inspection identifies the exact cause.

Yes, when performed by professionals. We assess your pipe condition first and adjust pressure accordingly to safely clean without damage.

Professional drain cleaning in South Florida costs $225–$800 depending on the type and severity of the clog. Simple sink or shower drain clearing starts around $225. Main sewer line clearing with a rooter machine runs $300–$500. Hydro-jetting, which uses high-pressure water to fully clear the pipe, costs $400–$800 and is recommended for grease buildup, tree root intrusion, or recurring clogs. Royal Elite Plumbing provides a written estimate before any work begins. Call (561) 336-0535 for same-day service.

Hydro-jetting uses water pressurized to 3,000–4,000 PSI to scour the inside of drain pipes, removing grease, mineral scale, and tree root fragments that a standard rooter machine leaves behind. It is recommended when: (1) you have recurring clogs in the same drain, (2) a camera inspection shows heavy grease or root intrusion, or (3) you are clearing a main sewer line serving multiple drains. Royal Elite Plumbing performs a video camera inspection before recommending hydro-jetting so you only pay for what you actually need.

If a single drain is slow, you likely need drain cleaning. If multiple drains are slow or backing up simultaneously, especially toilets, which sit on the main line, you may have a main sewer line blockage or collapse. Signs of sewer line damage include sewage odors in the yard, wet patches in the lawn above the sewer line, or recurring backups that return within days of clearing. Royal Elite Plumbing uses video pipe inspection cameras to distinguish between a clog and structural damage before recommending a repair.
