Customers typically pay this range, from the sources below, so you can sanity check your total.
Sample prices, not a quote. Customers typically pay $150 to $350 to clear a clog, and $145 to $300 when a pro snakes the drain. The overlap is about $150 to $300. The $225 sample is one kitchen branch, a machine, and an hour of labor. A main-line backup or hydro jetting is a different estimate.
What the estimate assumes
- The clog is in the kitchen branch, and other fixtures still drain.
- The disposal runs, so this is not a disposal replacement.
- Access is through the trap, with no drywall opening.
- Hydro jetting and a sewer camera are not in this sample.
Frequently asked questions.
How do plumbers price a kitchen drain cleaning?
Price the trip, the machine, and the labor, then add small parts if you open the trap. Published bands for clearing a clog run about $150 to $350, and a pro snake runs about $145 to $300. This sample is $225.
What should a kitchen drain estimate include?
The service call, the cable or drum machine, labor, and any trap parts you replace. Say that a main-line clog, a camera, or jetting is extra. This sample is one sink.
How long does a kitchen drain cleaning take?
The sample uses about an hour on the branch plus a short check of the disposal. A clog at the main, or a line full of grease that needs jetting, takes longer.
Should the disposal be on this estimate?
Only a check, unless it is jammed or leaking. This sample resets and runs it. A new disposal is its own lines.
Are these prices a real quote?
No. The lines are sample prices so you can see the shape of the estimate. In the app, the estimate follows the job you describe, your answer, and your prices.
