Drain Cleaning in Winchester, VACleared all the way, priced before the work starts
A drain that backs up once is a nuisance. A drain that backs up every few months is telling you something. Winchester Plumbing clears sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains and main lines in Winchester homes, and tells you why the clog happened in the first place.
What we clear
Kitchen sinks packed with grease, bathroom sinks and tubs full of hair and soap, laundry drains, basement floor drains, and the main line that carries everything out to the street or the septic tank. Cable machines for most clogs, and water jetting where the line calls for it.
Signs it is time to call
- Water stands in the sink or tub before it drains
- Gurgling from a drain when another fixture runs
- Sewage smell from a floor drain or a sink
- More than one fixture backing up at the same time
- Water coming up in the basement floor drain
- A toilet that bubbles when the washer drains
- The same drain clogging every few months
- Drain cleaner from the store stopped working
Why the clog keeps coming back
A store bought snake punches a hole through the middle of the clog and the water drains again, for a while. The buildup on the pipe walls is still there. A proper cleaning takes the line back to its full size. And when the same drain keeps clogging anyway, the cause is usually in the pipe: a belly, a bad slope, or roots. That is when a camera goes down the line, see sewer line repair.
If the house is on septic
Out in the county a slow main drain is not always a clog. A full tank or a tired drain field backs water up the same way. We clear and check the line first, and if the line is open and the water still will not go, we tell you it is time to call a septic company instead of selling you another cleaning.

Drain Cleaning questions
- Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?
They are hard on older pipe and they rarely clear the whole clog. If one bottle did not fix it, a second one will not either, and the plumber then has to work in a line full of caustic water. Tell us if you have used one.
- Can you clear the main line without digging?
Almost always. The main is cleaned through a cleanout, a pulled toilet or a roof vent. Digging only comes up when the pipe itself is broken.
- Why do all my drains back up at once?
When every fixture is slow the clog is in the main line, not in any one drain. On a septic system it can also mean the tank is full. Either way, stop running water and call.
