Drain Cleaning & Clearing
Drain cleaning and clearing across the DMV. Serving DC, Maryland, and Virginia from Suitland, MD.
A slow drain is annoying. A fully blocked one stops your day. We clear both, from a single sink or tub to a main line the whole house runs through, all across DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
We do not just punch a hole through the clog and leave. We clear the line properly and tell you straight if there is a bigger problem underneath, like roots or a broken pipe, so a clog does not keep coming back.
Drains we clear
Most clogs are grease, hair, soap, or foreign objects, and a proper cleaning handles them. When a clog keeps returning, that is a sign of something deeper, and that is where our camera inspection comes in.
- Kitchen sink and garbage disposal lines
- Bathroom sinks, tubs, and shower drains
- Toilets that back up or drain slowly
- Main sewer lines the whole house shares
- Floor drains and laundry lines
What to expect on the day
When we arrive, the first thing we do is listen and look, because the visible symptom is not always the real problem. We diagnose the actual cause, explain it to you in plain language, and give you an honest price before any work starts. You approve it, and only then do we begin. When the work is done, we test it, walk you through what we did, and leave the space clean. That is the same process on every job, whether it is a small repair or a major replacement.
Whatever the job, you get one licensed Master Plumber from start to finish, an honest price before we begin, and a plumber who cleans up after himself. Ready to get it handled? Request a free quote or call us at any hour. Want to see the kind of work we do? Take a look at our recent projects.
We find out why it keeps clogging
A clog that comes back every few months is not really cleared, it is just delayed. Tree roots, a bellied pipe, or old corroded lines cause repeat backups. If we see the signs, we recommend a camera inspection so you know exactly what is down there.
That is the honest approach, and it saves you paying to clear the same clog over and over.
- Line cleared properly, not just punched through
- We flag roots, breaks, and bellies
- Camera inspection available when it keeps coming back
Why the DMV calls Jackson Plumbing
There are plenty of plumbers in the Washington metro. What sets us apart is not a slogan, it is how the work actually gets done. When you call, a real person picks up, 24 hours a day. When we come out, we give you a real arrival window instead of a vague promise to show up sometime. And when we diagnose the problem, we put an honest price on it before we touch anything, so there are never surprise line items on the invoice.
Brandon Jackson has spent nearly three decades in this trade, and he built the business around a simple idea: treat people the way you would want to be treated in your own home. That means explaining what is wrong in plain language, giving you honest options instead of the most expensive one, and leaving the space cleaner than we found it. It is why so much of our work comes from repeat customers and neighbor-to-neighbor referrals across DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
We are a licensed Master Plumber, license PLM40000116, fully credentialed in Maryland (109495), Virginia (2710083375), and with WSSC (P-83640), plus ASSE certification and a BBB A-rating. That licensing matters: the code-sensitive work, the permitting, and the connections all get done right, so your plumbing passes inspection and holds up for years. Whether the job at your home is a quick repair or a major replacement, you get the same experienced plumber and the same honest standard.
It also means we stand behind what we do. If something we installed or repaired ever acts up, you call us and we come back, because our reputation across the DMV is worth more than any single invoice. That is the difference between a plumber who is here today and a plumber who has spent nearly thirty years building a name he intends to keep. We would rather do one job right and earn a customer for the next twenty years than rush through three and lose all of them.
Honest pricing, no hidden fees
The part people dread most about calling a plumber is the bill, because too many outfits hide fees, pad the invoice, or quote one number and charge another. We do not work that way. You get a clear, honest price before any work begins, and that is the price you pay. No surprise line items, no mystery charges, no upsell to the most expensive option when a simpler fix will do. If we think a repair will hold, we tell you, even when a replacement would earn us more. That kind of straight dealing is rare in this trade, and it is exactly why our customers keep calling and keep referring their neighbors. When you are ready to get it handled, call (202) 840-1998 any hour, or tell us what is going on and Brandon will get right back to you.

Why does my drain keep clogging?
Repeat clogs usually mean something deeper, like tree roots in the line, a bellied section of pipe, or heavy buildup on old corroded pipe. We can run a camera to show you exactly what is causing it.
Can you clear a main line clog?
Yes. When the whole house is backing up, the clog is usually in the main line. We locate it, clear it, and check the line so it does not come right back.
Is a chemical drain cleaner a bad idea?
Store-bought chemicals can damage older pipes and rarely fix the real problem. A proper mechanical cleaning is safer and actually clears the line. Call us before you keep pouring chemicals down it.
Do you clear kitchen and disposal clogs?
Yes. Kitchen lines clog with grease and food buildup. We clear the line and can check the disposal while we are there.
How much does drain cleaning cost?
It depends on the drain and how bad the clog is. We give you a fair price up front with no hidden fees before we start.
