A kitchen sink that drains slower every week, a shower that backs up mid-rinse, a floor drain that gurgles when the washer runs — these rarely fix themselves, and snaking the surface clog usually just buys a few weeks. Our Gates drain team runs camera inspections to find the actual cause.
We run a camera line inspection before recommending a fix, so you're not paying to snake a line that actually needs hydro-jetting.
Every technician carries valid credentials and liability coverage — standard on every drain call.
We keep drain-specific equipment on dedicated trucks so Gates, OR dispatch doesn't need a special equipment run.
The diagnosis determines the price, and that price is confirmed in writing before we start clearing anything.
These are the drain issues we see most often across Gates, each handled with the equipment built for that specific cause.
Jetting scours the full diameter of the line, which is why it outperforms snaking on recurring grease and buildup problems.
A waterproof camera is fed through the line to locate the exact blockage, a bellied section, or root intrusion before any tool touches the pipe.
Cable snaking is still the right call for a simple hair or debris clog close to the fixture.
Tree roots that have worked into a sewer or drain line get cut and cleared with a root-cutting head, then the line is reassessed for damage.
Commercial kitchens in Gates, OR get grease trap service scheduled around operating hours to avoid disrupting service.
Scheduled jetting on problem lines keeps grease and scale from building back up between service visits.
Tell dispatch which fixtures are affected and whether it's a slow drain or a full backup — that shapes which truck gets sent.
Our Gates trucks carry both cable and jetting equipment, so a second trip is rarely needed.
You'll see or hear what's actually in the line before agreeing to the recommended fix.
We re-run the camera after clearing so you can see the difference, backed by a workmanship warranty on the service.

We don't upsell jetting by default; the footage determines which method actually fixes the problem.
We assess pipe material and condition via camera first; jetting pressure is adjusted for older or more fragile lines.
Camera inspection pricing is quoted upfront and often bundled into the diagnosis fee for a drain cleaning call.
Yes — roots seek out moisture and can enter through small cracks or joints in sewer and drain lines, especially older clay pipe.
It depends on kitchen volume, but many Gates restaurants schedule quarterly service to avoid emergency backups.
Recurring clogs after snaking are the classic sign jetting or a camera diagnosis is actually needed.
