We're available 24/7, and there are no overtime fees regardless of when you call.

A lot of drain cleaning calls we get come from homeowners who tried a bottle of store drain cleaner and a hardware-store snake, got partial flow back, and figured the problem was solved. Six weeks later they're calling us because the clog rebuilt or a root intrusion they didn't know about closed things back up. There's a meaningful difference between punching through a clog and actually cleaning the pipe wall. We use camera inspection to see what's causing the blockage before we decide on the right tool, sometimes that's a snake, sometimes it's hydro jetting, and sometimes the camera reveals a root intrusion or a collapsed section that snaking would never fix. What drives the cost up or down: the type of clog, the pipe material, how deep the line runs, and whether the blockage is in a branch drain or the main line. Every job is different, contact Brick Street Plumbing Heat & Air for an accurate estimate.

What We Clear and How We Do It

Every drain issue is different. Here's what Brick Street handles on a typical service call.

All services

Kitchen Sink Drains

Grease, soap scum, and food buildup layer onto pipe walls over time. In Leesburg's older downtown homes, cast iron kitchen lines collect grease faster than PVC because the rough interior surface gives it something to grip. We clear the blockage and flush the line so flow is restored at the pipe wall, not just through a narrow channel in the middle of the clog.

Bathroom Drains and Toilets

Hair, soap, and mineral deposits are the main culprit in bathroom sinks and tub drains. Toilets clog for a different set of reasons, usually wipes labeled 'flushable' (they're not), paper buildup at a partial blockage, or a root intrusion in the line. We diagnose before we snake so we're not guessing at what's down there.

Main Line Drain Cleaning

A main line blockage affects every drain in the house at once. When you see multiple fixtures backing up simultaneously, that's the signal. We run a camera down the clean-out first to confirm the cause, then clear it with the right equipment. A snake won't remove a root ball, and a root ball won't wait.

Drain Camera Inspection

We run a high-resolution camera through your line before and after clearing it. You see exactly what we see. If there's a root intrusion, a pipe offset, or a section showing early collapse, you'll know about it before it becomes a burst line. Most homeowners have never seen what's inside their drain. It's usually informative.

Hydro Jetting

Jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire interior surface of the pipe, not just break through a clog but strip the walls clean. It's the right call for grease-packed lines, heavy mineral buildup, and recurring clogs that keep coming back after snaking. We don't default to jetting on every job. If a snake clears it cleanly, that's what we use.

Drain Pipe Maintenance

Clearing a clog is one visit. Preventing the next one is a plan. We offer drain pipe maintenance for Loudoun County homeowners who want to stay ahead of buildup rather than call us on an emergency. Older homes especially benefit from a scheduled line flush every year or two.

How It Works

What Happens on a Drain Cleaning Visit

No guessing, no upselling a service you don't need.

Camera First
Before we recommend anything, we run the camera. You don't start pulling a car apart before you read the diagnostic code, same idea. The camera shows us the clog type, pipe condition, and any secondary issues like offset joints or root intrusion.
Right Tool for the Job
A cable snake works for soft organic clogs in branch drains. Hydro jetting works for grease buildup and mineral scale in main lines. We won't sell you a jetting job when a snake will do it, and we won't snake a line where jetting is the only thing that'll actually work.
Confirm and Explain
After clearing the line, we run the camera again to confirm it's clean. If we saw anything concerning, hairline cracks, root intrusion, or a section with reduced diameter from scale, we'll show you the footage and tell you what it means before you decide anything.

Local Context

Why Leesburg Drains Clog the Way They Do

Loudoun County's water consistently tests on the harder end of the regional scale. That mineral content doesn't just affect your water heater and supply lines, it builds up in drain pipes too, narrowing the interior diameter over time and giving grease and soap somewhere to stick. If you're in one of Leesburg's older neighborhoods or the historic downtown, your drain lines may be cast iron or clay tile that's been in the ground for 50 or 60 years. These materials hold up well, but the interior surface roughens with age and collects buildup faster than modern PVC. Homes in newer Loudoun County subdivisions like Brambleton and Lansdowne typically have smoother PVC drain lines, but even those get hit by tree root intrusion as landscaping matures around the pipes. Northern Virginia's freeze-thaw cycles in late winter don't help, ground movement stresses pipe joints and can create offsets where debris catches and builds up. We see the same patterns on repeat service calls, and knowing the local context means we know where to look first.

Drain Cleaning Questions We Hear Most

What's the difference between clearing a clog and cleaning the entire drain line?

Clearing a clog punches an opening through the blockage so water flows again. Cleaning the line removes buildup from the pipe wall along the whole run. If you only clear the clog, the narrowed pipe wall that caused the clog in the first place is still there, and it catches the next piece of debris that comes through. Camera inspection shows which approach your situation actually needs.

When should I use hydro jetting instead of a drain snake?

A snake is the right tool for a soft clog in a branch drain, hair, paper, a grease plug that hasn't hardened. Jetting is the right tool when you have hardened grease, heavy mineral scale, or recurring clogs that keep coming back after snaking. Jetting scours the pipe wall clean rather than poking through the obstruction. We decide after the camera tells us what we're working with, not before.

What causes drain clogs specifically in Leesburg and Loudoun County homes?

Hard water is a major factor. Loudoun County water carries enough mineral content to build calcium deposits inside drain pipes, narrowing the opening and creating rough patches where grease and soap bind. Older cast iron and clay tile lines in Leesburg's historic neighborhoods add a rougher pipe interior to the equation. Tree root intrusion is a consistent problem across the county as mature landscaping grows toward pipe joints.

What should never go down my drains?

Cooking grease is the most destructive, it cools and solidifies inside the line, then catches everything behind it. 'Flushable' wipes don't break down in the pipe and they're responsible for a significant portion of the toilet and main line calls we run. Coffee grounds, fibrous vegetable scraps, and eggshells are hard on kitchen lines. On the bathroom side, cotton balls and dental floss tangle around every other piece of debris that comes through.

What can a drain camera inspection find that snaking misses?

A camera finds root intrusion that a snake will push through but never actually clear, pipe offsets where the line shifted at a joint, sections with collapsed or reduced diameter from age or ground movement, and cracks that are moving toward a failure. Snaking a line with a significant root ball or an offset joint can make the problem worse. The camera costs less than the surprise it prevents.

How do I prevent clogs from coming back after professional drain cleaning?

Behavior change at the drain is the first step, no grease, no wipes, no fibrous scraps. Beyond that, a drain pipe maintenance visit every year or two keeps mineral buildup from re-establishing in harder-water areas like Loudoun County. If your camera inspection showed root intrusion, that root system is still growing and will need to be addressed on a schedule rather than as an emergency.
