Camera-Verified Drain Cleaning Across Ogden and Weber County
A clogged drain is rarely just a clog. Rhino Rooter clears your line and puts a camera down it, so you know whether it was grease, roots, or a failing pipe, before it backs up again.

What It Is
What Drain Cleaning Is
Drain cleaning is the mechanical and hydro-mechanical clearing of slow or blocked building drains and sewer laterals, from kitchen and bath lines to floor drains and the main sewer line. We use sectional and drum cable machines (rooters), augers, and inspection cameras to confirm the line is open.
Problems It Solves
What a Clogged Drain Is Really Telling You
Customers call when they see slow or standing water, hear gurgling, smell sewage, or watch several fixtures back up at once. These map to specific causes: grease and soap buildup, hair, tree-root intrusion, foreign objects, or a collapsed or bellied line.
Because the symptom rarely points to a single cause, we look before we guess. A camera tells us whether the line just needs clearing or whether the pipe itself is the problem.
Our Process
How We Clear a Line
01
Diagnose
We diagnose first and run a camera where the symptoms warrant it, so we know the cause before we start.
02
Choose the Method
We choose cable or hydro jetting based on the blockage, matching the tool to grease, roots, or scale.
03
Clear From the Cleanout
We clear from the nearest cleanout to protect your fixtures and keep the work contained.
04
Camera-Verify
We camera-verify that the line is open. If we find an underlying defect, we tell you what trenchless repair it needs.
Timing & Triggers
When Drain Cleaning Makes Sense
Drain cleaning is both reactive, for an active backup that often happens after hours, and proactive, as annual maintenance for older homes and grease-heavy commercial kitchens. Repeat clogs, post-storm infiltration, and tree-root season are common triggers.
Who Needs It
Who We Clear Drains For
We serve homeowners, especially in Ogden and Roy's older housing stock, along with landlords, property managers, and commercial operators like restaurants, salons, and multi-tenant buildings.

Risks of Waiting
What Happens If You Wait
Ignored backups cause sewage overflow, water damage, ruined flooring, and mold. A missed root intrusion or bellied line keeps re-clogging until the pipe fails entirely and needs trenchless repair, a far bigger bill than a routine cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does drain cleaning cost in Ogden?
Residential drain cleaning typically runs $250–$450 per visit and commercial $300–$600, with a $250–$300 diagnostic camera inspection if the cause is unclear. After-hours visits add a $100–$150 surcharge. You get a written price before we start.
Why does my drain keep clogging after it’s cleared?
Recurring clogs usually mean an underlying cause a cable can’t fix, such as tree roots, heavy grease, scale in old cast iron, or a bellied section of pipe. That’s why we camera the line; once we see the cause, we can recommend hydro jetting or a trenchless repair that actually solves it.
Do you put a camera down the line?
Yes. We run a camera wherever symptoms warrant it and confirm the line is clear after the work, so you see the real condition of your pipe, not just an invoice.
Can you clear a main sewer line backup quickly?
Yes, main-line backups are routine for us. We clear from the nearest cleanout to protect your fixtures and verify the line with a camera before we leave.
What’s the difference between snaking and hydro jetting?
A cable (snake) punches through a clog to restore flow; hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the full pipe diameter, removing grease, scale, and roots. For recurring or grease-heavy lines, jetting lasts longer.
