Video Inspection
To ensure your drains or sewer line receive the appropriate services, our team relies on video camera inspections to provide an accurate diagnosis. During the inspection, we insert a flexible rod with a camera mounted on the end into your pipes. We’re then able to see real-time footage of the condition of your system and can identify common causes of issues like tree root intrusion, blockages, and collapsed pipes.
This diagnostic step is especially important for persistent or widespread drain problems, as it helps determine whether a clog can be resolved with cleaning or if structural repair is needed. By pinpointing the exact location and cause of the issue, we can avoid unnecessary work and recommend services that align with the actual condition of your pipes.
Professional Drain Cleaning in Washington, DC
Our comprehensive drain services aim to keep every drain in your home flowing freely. To combat stubborn clogs, our team provides a full range of services using a variety of tools and methods to eliminate clogs caused by oil, hair, soap scum, and more. Our drain cleaning services are thorough and can both clear away recurring blockages, as well as help prevent future issues.
Homeowners may notice warning signs such as water draining slowly, unpleasant odors, or frequent use of plungers. While minor buildup can sometimes be addressed with basic maintenance, repeated or worsening symptoms often signal deeper obstructions that require professional equipment and evaluation.
Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting is a gentle yet powerful cleaning technique that blasts away clogs and residue without compromising the safety of your pipes. Plus, it is eco-friendly and does not rely on the use of chemicals. Our technicians use a high-powered hose equipped with a special nozzle to wash away scale, silt, sand, and grease to restore proper function to your drains or sewer line.
Because hydro jetting cleans the full interior diameter of the pipe, it is often recommended for heavy buildup or recurring blockages where standard methods are not sufficient. A prior video inspection helps confirm whether this approach is appropriate for the condition of your plumbing system.
Drain Sewer Snake
The Rooterologists™ at F. H. Furr don’t use the standard sewer snakes you’ll find at a local hardware store. Instead, our experts use industrial-strength drain snakes, augers, and rootering to cut through serious blockages like tree roots. These snakes have multiple heads and blade attachments to drill through clogs effectively and efficiently.
This method is commonly used when clogs are dense, deeply lodged, or caused by root intrusion. In many cases, professional snaking is combined with inspections or follow-up cleaning to ensure the obstruction has been fully addressed and to reduce the likelihood of repeat issues.
Trenchless Sewer Line Repair & Replacement
As part of our comprehensive sewer service, F.H. Furr offers trenchless sewer line repair and replacement to fix damaged or aging pipes with minimal intrusion to your landscape. These high-performance, non-invasive services reduce the time and disruption associated with traditional sewer work.
The overall scope of sewer repair depends on factors such as pipe condition, location of damage, and the repair method used. Trenchless options can often streamline the process by limiting excavation while still restoring reliable function to the sewer line.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a clog is in my main sewer line?
A clogged main sewer line can cause issues such as multiple fixtures backing up at the same time, gurgling sounds from toilets or drains, water backing up into tubs or showers, and persistent odors. These symptoms often indicate a blockage beyond a single drain and should be evaluated with a professional video inspection.
What methods do you use for drain cleaning?
Drain cleaning methods vary based on the cause and severity of the blockage. Services may include professional snaking, hydro jetting, or a combination of techniques. A video inspection is often used to determine which method will be most effective and appropriate for your plumbing system.
When should I stop trying to fix a drain problem myself?
If a drain continues to clog, drains slowly across multiple fixtures, or shows signs of backing up after basic troubleshooting, it is best to stop and call a professional. Continued use of temporary fixes can worsen underlying issues or delay necessary repairs.
Can regular drain maintenance prevent major plumbing issues?
Like any other essential system in your home, drains benefit from regular maintenance. Routine drain cleaning and inspections can help prevent major blockages and identify developing problems early, before they require more extensive repairs.
