Can’t Use Your Toilet or Shower? We Snake the Line for $45.

$45Only if we snake it

Most plumbers clear the clog and leave. We put a camera down the line and show you the screen, so you find out whether that was a one-off or the reason it keeps backing up.

  • Looking at it is free. Nothing is owed until tools go in the line
  • $45 if we snake it. If that clears it, the job is done
  • A camera inspection comes with it, and you watch the screen
  • Licensed for electrical and plumbing, so one crew finishes the job
  • If it needs a repair, you approve the price before anything starts

What Actually Happens on a $45 Visit

Four stages, about ninety minutes, and you are standing there for the part that matters.

1

The drain stops

You call, or answer two questions. We confirm the price and the window before we book.

2
A drum drain auger beside an open floor cleanout, its cable running underground into the pipe toward a blockage.

We cable the line

A licensed plumber snakes the line. If it will not clear, the jetter is the next step.

3
A sewer camera reel and monitor beside a cleanout, with the camera head lighting the inside of the pipe underground.

We camera the main

An HD camera goes down the main sewer line and lights up the pipe wall.

4
Cutaway of a sewer pipe with a jetting nozzle, clean pipe wall behind it and grease and roots ahead of it.

You see what you have

Live, on the screen. Roots, a belly, scale, or nothing at all.

Then the footage decides

Three Things the Camera Can Find

Most visits

The line is clean

No roots, no belly, no scale. The clog was just a clog. We tell you that, pack up and go, and you keep footage proving the line is sound.

$45Nothing further owed
If the wall is coated

Grease, scale or soft roots

A cable punched a hole through it. A jetter scours the wall back to full diameter so it stops coming back. Camera before and after, so you see what changed.

From $450Hydro jetting, quoted on site
If the pipe has failed

A break, a belly or root intrusion

Most plumbers tell you the whole line is gone. We show you the crack on camera and give you the option to cut out that one section now, with the full replacement left for later. Spot repairs carry a two-year labor warranty.

QuotedPriced from the footage, never a guess

What the $45 covers

A licensed plumber out to your house, snaking the line that is backing up, plus a camera inspection so you can see what is down there. If snaking clears it, that is the whole job and nothing else is owed.

What happens if it will not snake

If the line will not snake, hydro jetting is $450 on top, and that visit includes the camera. If the camera then finds cracks or roots, the $450 comes off the repair estimate. Homeowners and business owners only, no property management.

Who shows up

A Licensed Tech and a Marked Truck

You will know who is at your door. Power Route techs arrive in branded vehicles and carry both trade licenses under one company, and you approve the price before any work starts.

When cabling is not the answer

Hydro Jetting for the Lines a Cable Cannot Fix

A cable punches a hole through the blockage. A jetter scours the pipe wall back to its original diameter. If your line is full of grease, scale or roots, the second one is what actually ends the problem.

  • Cuts roots and strips grease instead of pushing through them
  • Camera before and after, so you see what changed
  • Quoted from the footage, never from a guess
  • Backed by the same two-year labor warranty

What customers say

Rated 5.0 by 106 Los Angeles Homeowners

★★★★★

“I had some pipes leaking in my front yard. They immediately solved the problem and did not overcharge me. They let me know that the valves actually just needs to be tightened. I feel like any other plumber would’ve charged me a bunch of money… but not power route.”

Bunny and Gavin · Google
★★★★★

“They went above and beyond by giving us a breakdown of what the cheaper option vs the best solution would look like in terms of cost and long term solution… Power Route was very transparent and delivered high quality work.”

“Told them my issue, they gave a solution and executed. Cannot stress to say how rare it is for their level of professionalism in the industry. 35 years family GC business, 3 years as a Real Estate Broker, i know good work when I see it.”

Drain Clearing Questions

A licensed plumber coming out and snaking the line that is backing up. If that clears it, the job is done and nothing else is owed. Looking at the problem is free. You only owe the $45 once tools go into the drain line.

Because it is the part that tells both of us the truth. If the line is sound, you have seen that yourself. If it is not, you have seen the crack rather than taken our word for it, and you get to decide what to do about it.

Usually a belly. Old cast iron pipe dips down in spots, paper catches in the dip, and it backs up again a few weeks later. Snaking clears the paper. It does not lift the pipe. That is why we look, and why we will tell you if cutting out that one section is the fix rather than replacing the whole line.

Both. CSLB 1136300 covers C-10 electrical and C-36 plumbing. That is unusual in Los Angeles, and it means one crew can finish a job that crosses trades instead of handing you a second phone number.

Call and ask before you book. We quote the price up front either way, and you approve it before any work starts. Financing is available through Wisetack and Synchrony on the larger repair work.
