We Clear All Types of Drain Blockages
From kitchen sink grease clogs to full sewer line backups, our plumbers are equipped to handle every type of drain problem found in Duluth and Superior area homes.
K
Kitchen Drain Cleaning
Grease, soap scum, and food debris build up in kitchen drains over time and form stubborn blockages. We clear kitchen sink clogs using power snaking and hydro-jetting, and inspect the trap and drain line for root intrusion or scale buildup.
B
Bathroom Drain Cleaning
Hair, soap residue, and mineral deposits cause most bathroom drain clogs. We clear tub, shower, and sink drains efficiently — and identify if a recurring clog is a sign of a larger issue further down the drain line.
S
Sewer Line Cleaning
A backed-up sewer line affects every drain in your home. We use power augers and hydro-jetting equipment to clear sewer main blockages, including root infiltration — common in older Duluth and Superior neighborhoods with mature trees.
F
Floor Drain & Utility Cleaning
Basement floor drains, laundry drains, and utility sink drains often go ignored until they back up. We clear these drains and inspect them for scale, sediment buildup, or root intrusion that can cause repeated blockages.
Fast Drain Diagnosis & Clearing — We Find the Blockage, Not Just the Symptom
We follow a systematic process to locate and clear drain blockages — so the same clog does not come back in two weeks.

Your Safety Is Our Priority
Safe Drain Cleaning — Protecting Your Pipes & Your Home
Improper drain cleaning can damage pipes, expose your family to sewage, or miss the real cause of a blockage. Every Advantage Air drain service includes proper safety protocols and a thorough assessment before we start work.
Camera Inspection Before & After
We use drain camera inspection to see exactly what’s causing the blockage before we start clearing it. After the job is done, we camera the line again to confirm it’s fully clear. This prevents repeat service calls and identifies any pipe damage that needs to be addressed.
Sewage Exposure Protocol
Raw sewage contains harmful bacteria and pathogens. Our technicians follow proper containment and cleanup procedures when working on sewer lines and backed-up drains — protecting your home from contamination and our team from exposure.
Pipe-Safe Clearing Methods
We match the clearing method to your pipe type and condition. Using the wrong auger in a fragile cast iron drain or hydro-jetting an already cracked pipe causes more damage than the original clog. We assess your pipe material and condition before selecting the right tool for the job.
Root Intrusion Assessment
Tree roots are one of the most common causes of recurring sewer line blockages in older Twin Ports neighborhoods. We identify root intrusion using camera inspection and recommend the appropriate clearing method — mechanical removal, chemical treatment, or pipe lining depending on severity.
No Harsh Chemical Drain Cleaners
Store-bought chemical drain cleaners damage pipes over time and rarely solve the actual problem. We clear blockages mechanically or with high-pressure water — methods that are effective on the clog without degrading your pipe walls or creating chemical hazards in your plumbing.
Full Flow Verification Before We Leave
After every drain cleaning, we run water through the affected drain and confirm full flow has been restored. We don’t call the job done until water moves freely and there are no signs of partial blockage remaining downstream.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my drain keep clogging even after I clear it?
Recurring clogs usually mean the real problem wasn’t fully addressed. Common causes include partial blockages left downstream after a snaking, pipe scale or grease buildup that keeps accumulating, root infiltration in the sewer line, or a venting problem that causes slow drainage. Camera inspection is the only reliable way to find out what’s actually happening in the pipe.
What's the difference between drain snaking and hydro-jetting?
Drain snaking uses a flexible metal cable to mechanically break up or pull out blockages. It’s effective for most clogs and is the standard first approach. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water — up to 4,000 PSI — to blast away grease buildup, mineral scale, and root fragments, leaving the pipe walls clean. Hydro-jetting is more thorough but not appropriate for fragile or damaged pipes.
How do I know if I have a main sewer line blockage vs. a single drain clog?
If only one drain is slow or clogged, it’s likely an isolated issue in that branch line. If multiple drains in your home are slow, backing up, or if flushing a toilet causes water to appear in the tub or sink, you almost certainly have a main sewer line blockage. This requires professional clearing — don’t keep using plumbing until the main is clear.
Are tree roots really a common problem in Duluth and Superior?
Yes. Older Twin Ports neighborhoods have mature trees with extensive root systems — and many homes have clay tile or cast iron sewer lines that are decades old. Roots find cracks or loose joints in these lines and grow into the pipe, causing slow drainage and eventually complete blockage. Root clearing needs to be done mechanically or with targeted chemical treatment — store-bought drain cleaners do nothing against roots.
Can I use chemical drain cleaner between professional cleanings?
We don’t recommend it. Store-bought drain cleaners are corrosive and can damage pipe joints, seals, and older metal pipes over time. They also don’t solve the underlying cause of most clogs — they just temporarily dissolve some organic material. If you need to clear a drain between service calls, a plunger or a manual drain snake is a safer option. Call us if the problem persists.
