Tree roots growing into the sewer line
We cut the roots with a root cutter, jet the cuttings out, and camera-inspect to find the entry point. If roots keep returning through a broken joint, we quote a CIPP liner or spot repair to seal it for good.

About this service
What Sewer Line Clog Removal in Florida Involves
Sewer line clog removal in Florida is the process of locating, breaking up, and flushing out the grease, roots, scale, and debris blocking your main sewer line. We start with a sewer camera pushed through a cleanout, mark the depth of the blockage with a pipe locator, then clear it with a drain snake or hydro jetting machine. After clearing, we re-inspect to confirm the pipe is clean and note any cracks, offsets, or root entry points that need repair.
Florida sewer lines take a beating. Sandy soil shifts after heavy rain, oak and ficus roots hunt for moisture, and cast iron pipe from older neighborhoods corrodes from the inside. That is why sewer clog removal Florida homeowners call us for usually starts as a slow drain, then turns into a backup at the lowest fixture. If you have tried sewer clog removal near me searches at 11 p.m. with water rising in a shower pan, you already know the problem will not fix itself.

What's included
What Our Clog Removal Service Includes
Every clog removal job includes a pre-camera inspection, mechanical clearing, post-camera verification, and a written summary. Repair work like lining, pipe bursting, or replacement is quoted separately if the camera shows damage. You approve it before we start, and there is no charge for the quote.
✓
Pre-Clear Camera Inspection
We feed a sewer camera through the cleanout and record footage of the blockage, pipe material, and condition. You see the depth and cause on screen before any machine goes in. This is included, not an add-on, and it is how we avoid clearing the wrong line.
✓
Mechanical Clearing and Jetting
We clear the blockage with a drain snake, root cutter, or hydro jetting machine at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI, depending on what the camera shows. Grease, roots, sand, and scale all come out. Most residential lines clear in 45 to 90 minutes.
✓
Post-Clear Verification Pass
After clearing, we run the camera again and fill fixtures to test flow. You watch the screen with us. If the pipe is clean and holding, we are done. If we see a crack or offset, we show you the footage and quote repair options on the spot.
✓
Cleanout Cap and Site Cleanup
We bag the debris, rinse the work area, and reseat the cleanout cap. No sewage left on the floor, no tools left behind. If your cleanout cap is cracked or missing, we replace it so the next service call is easier and roots stay out.
✓
Written Findings and Schedule
You get a written summary of what we found, what we cleared, and how often to jet the line. Most Florida homes do well on a 12 to 24 month schedule. Commercial grease lines usually need jetting every six months to stay ahead of buildup.
How it works
How Our Clog Removal Process Works
01
Call and Triage
You call, we ask three questions: which fixtures are backing up, is there standing water, and do you have a cleanout. That tells us whether this is a main line clog or a branch drain. We give you a two-hour arrival window and confirm the truck is stocked for your pipe material.
02
Locate and Inspect
We pull the cleanout cap, feed a sewer camera down the line, and watch the footage on a monitor. A pipe locator marks the depth and distance of the blockage on the ground. You see exactly where the problem is before we touch it, usually within 20 minutes of arrival.
03
Clear the Blockage
For grease and soft debris we hydro jet at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI. For roots we run a root cutter on a sectional machine first, then jet the cuttings out. Most residential clogs clear in 45 to 90 minutes. Commercial grease lines can take two to three hours.
04
Re-Inspect and Test
After clearing, we run the camera again and fill fixtures to test flow. You watch the screen with us. If we see a crack, offset joint, or collapsed section, we show you the footage and quote repair options on the spot, no pressure and no separate trip charge.
05
Clean Up and Advise
We bag the debris, rinse the work area, and put the cleanout cap back. You get a written summary of what we found, what we cleared, and how often to jet the line going forward. Most homes in Florida do well on a 12 to 24 month jetting schedule.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Sewer Camera (Insight Vision, CUES)
Pushed through the cleanout to record the blockage, pipe material, and condition. We use it before and after clearing so you see the result, and we grade the pipe to NASSCO PACP standards.
Hydro Jetting Machine
Delivers water at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI to scour grease, sand, and root cuttings off the full pipe wall. It restores flow to full diameter instead of punching a channel like a snake does.
Root Cutter (Picote, RIDGID)
A rotating cutting head on a sectional machine that shaves roots back to the pipe wall. We run it before jetting on heavy root intrusion so the cuttings flush out instead of regrowing.
Pipe Locator
Marks the depth and distance of the blockage and the sewer run on the ground. It keeps the work precise, protects irrigation and utilities, and gives you a map of your line.
Drain Snake (Sewer Equipment, Vactor)
A sectional machine with a cable and auger head for soft blockages like paper and grease. We use it when the camera shows a clog that does not need full-pressure jetting.
Sewer Inspection Crawler
A wheeled camera platform for larger-diameter commercial and municipal lines. It gives a stable, high-resolution view of long runs where a push camera cannot reach.
Real results
Before and after.
Root Ball Cleared in Palm Bay
Before
A homeowner in Palm Bay had a tub backing up every time the washer drained. A camera run showed a root ball at 42 feet in clay pipe, with roots feeding through two cracked joints. The line had been snaked twice before with no lasting fix.
After
We cut the roots with a root cutter, jetted the line at 3,500 PSI, and ran the camera again. Flow returned to full diameter. We quoted a CIPP liner for the two cracked joints, and the homeowner approved it the same week.
Restaurant Grease Line Restored in Bradenton
Before
A Bradenton restaurant called at 9 p.m. on a Friday with the kitchen floor sink backing up during dinner service. The grease line had not been jetted in over a year, and grease had hardened to nearly an inch thick on the pipe wall.
After
We hydro jetted at 4,000 PSI for just under two hours, stripping the grease off the full pipe wall. The camera pass showed clean pipe and full flow. The kitchen was back in service the same night.
Cast Iron Scale Removed in Coral Springs
Before
A Coral Springs homeowner had a slow drain that returned every four months. Camera inspection showed heavy scale in 1980s cast iron pipe, narrowing the line to about half its original diameter. Snaking had only punched a channel through the scale.
After
We jetted the scale out at 3,000 PSI and re-inspected. Flow returned to near full diameter. We showed the homeowner the remaining pipe wall thickness and quoted a spot repair for one section with advanced corrosion.
Problems we solve
Sewer Clog Problems We Solve Statewide
Most main line clogs in Florida fall into a handful of categories. Knowing which one you have tells you whether a simple jetting will fix it or whether repair is coming.
Ask a pro →↗
Grease buildup in kitchen and commercial lines
We hydro jet at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI to strip grease off the full pipe wall, not just punch a hole through it. For restaurants we set up a six-month jetting schedule so the Friday night rush never turns into a backup.
Cast iron pipe corrosion and scale
We camera-inspect to grade the corrosion, jet the scale out, and show you how much pipe wall is left. If the pipe is too far gone, we quote trenchless repair or replacement so you are not paying for the same clog twice a year.
Sandy soil shifting after heavy rain
We locate the belly with a camera and pipe locator, jet the debris out, and tell you whether the sag is minor or needs a spot repair. If the pipe has settled badly, we quote trenchless repair to restore the grade.
Transparent pricing
Sewer Line Clog Removal Cost in Florida
$250 - $650 residential; $900 - $1,500 commercial
Typical 2026 pricing for sewer line clog removal in Florida runs $250 to $650 for residential lines and $900 to $1,500 for commercial grease lines. The price depends on depth, pipe material, and whether roots are involved. We quote a flat price before the machine goes in the ground, and the camera inspection is included. If the camera shows a broken pipe that needs repair, we quote that separately and you decide. No hourly meter, no surprise add-ons.
The camera inspection is included in every job, so you are paying for a verified result, not a guess. Clearing the line properly the first time costs less than three repeat snaking calls and a replacement pipe down the road.
01Depth of the blockage
A clog at 20 feet clears faster than one at 80 feet. Deeper blockages need more cable or jetting hose and more time, which raises the price. We measure depth with the camera and pipe locator before quoting.
02Pipe material and condition
Smooth PVC pipe and HDPE pipe clear quickly. Rough cast iron pipe and clay pipe with scale or roots take longer and may need a root cutter before jetting. Advanced corrosion may mean clearing is only a short-term fix.
03Root intrusion severity
A small root tip clears with jetting alone. A dense root ball needs a root cutter head and a second camera pass, which adds time and cost. If roots keep returning through a broken joint, we quote lining or spot repair.
04Residential vs. commercial
Commercial grease lines are larger diameter, longer, and often require 4,000 PSI jetting plus a grease trap check. That is why commercial sewer line clog removal Florida pricing sits higher than a typical home job.

Reviews From Florida Customers
★★★★★
“Our laundry drain backed up on a Sunday and the tub filled with gray water. The crew arrived in about two hours, ran a camera, and showed me a root ball at 42 feet. They cut the roots, jetted the line, and ran the camera again so I could see it was clean. Flat price, no upsell, and they left the laundry room dry.”

“I manage 14 units and we had a repeat clog in one building every three months. They camera-inspected, found a cracked clay pipe with roots feeding through the joint, and quoted a CIPP liner. Since the lining went in, zero clogs in that building. They also set us up on a yearly jetting schedule for the rest.”

“Friday night dinner rush and our kitchen line backed up into the floor sink. They came out at 9 p.m., jetted the grease line at 4,000 PSI, and had us flowing again in under two hours. They showed me the before-and-after camera footage and told me to jet every six months. We have not had a backup since.”

✓ VerifiedMost residential sewer line clog removal in Florida runs $250 to $650 in 2026, depending on depth, pipe material, and whether roots are involved. A simple grease clog cleared by hydro jetting sits at the low end. Root intrusion that needs a cutter head and a second camera pass sits higher. Commercial grease lines and long runs can reach $900 to $1,500. You get the price before we start.
Tree root intrusion is the number one cause, especially in older neighborhoods with clay pipe and cast iron pipe. Grease buildup, flushable wipes, and feminine products come next. Florida's sandy soil shifts after heavy rain, which opens joints and lets roots in. Cast iron pipe also corrodes and scales from the inside, narrowing the line until paper and grease catch and block it.
We run a root cutter head on a sectional machine through the line to shave roots back to the pipe wall, then hydro jet the cuttings out. A camera pass confirms the roots are gone and shows whether the pipe is cracked. If roots keep returning through a broken joint, we recommend trenchless repair or a CIPP liner to seal the entry point for good.
No. Chemical drain cleaner rarely clears a main line clog, and it sits against cast iron pipe and PVC joints, eating the pipe wall while you wait. It also creates a burn hazard for the technician who opens the cleanout. We hydro jet instead, which removes the blockage mechanically with water pressure and leaves your pipe intact.
