Flat-Rate Vs. Hourly - Why It Matters
Some companies charge by the hour, which means a stubborn clog quietly runs up your bill. Prodigy quotes flat by service: you approve the price before we start, and a slow, difficult clog costs the same as an easy one at the same tier. No clock, no surprises.
Commercial Drain Cleaning Contracts
Restaurants, property managers, and commercial facilities can set up monthly or annual hydro jetting contracts at discounted rates. Routine jetting keeps grease and scale from building into an emergency backup, almost always cheaper than reactive emergency calls.
Emergency & After-Hours Dispatch
When a drain backs up at 2 a.m., a fully stocked truck rolls 24/7. Emergency dispatch is $250, versus a standard dispatch of $29; the drain service itself is quoted on top of dispatch. See our emergency sewer and drain service for what is covered.
Drain Cleaning Cost - Frequently Asked Questions
How much does drain cleaning cost in Nashville?
Prodigy drain cleaning starts at $89 for a mainline clear (rising up to about $350 depending on severity). A single fixture or secondary drain is $129. Hydro jetting for residential lines runs $750-$1,250.
Why is the basic drain cleaning price $89?
$89 is our base mainline rate - a flat, transparent starting point so you know the floor before we begin. The price only rises from there if the blockage is unusually severe, and we tell you before doing extra work.
What does hydro jetting cost?
Residential hydro jetting runs $750-$1,250. Commercial hydro jetting runs $1,200-$1,500, with monthly or annual contract discounts available for restaurants, property managers, and facilities.
Do you charge flat-rate or hourly for drain cleaning?
We work flat-rate by service, not by the hour. You are quoted the job before we start, so the clock does not run up your bill - a slow, stubborn clog costs the same as a quick one at the same service tier.
What's the difference between snaking a drain and hydro jetting?
Snaking (cabling) punches a hole through a clog to restore flow quickly and is ideal for single fixtures. Hydro jetting scours the full pipe wall with high-pressure water, removing grease and scale, which is better for recurring mainline and commercial buildup.
Do you offer commercial drain cleaning contracts?
Yes. Restaurants, property managers, and commercial facilities can set up monthly or annual hydro jetting contracts at discounted rates, which keeps grease and scale from ever reaching an emergency backup.
Is there an emergency or after-hours surcharge?
Emergency dispatch is $250, versus a standard dispatch of $29. The dispatch covers getting a fully stocked truck to you 24/7; the drain service itself is then quoted on top.
Does drain cleaning include a camera inspection?
Every booked job includes a free post-clean camera check, so you can see whether the line is truly clear or whether a deeper issue, like a cracked or root-infiltrated pipe, is the real cause.
How do I know if I need cleaning or sewer line repair?
If cleaning keeps failing to fix the problem, the pipe is likely damaged, not just clogged. The free camera check tells us, and if it is structural, we walk you to the right sewer line repair or trenchless option.
How can I avoid repeat drain cleaning bills?
Routine maintenance jetting on problem lines, especially in commercial kitchens, prevents the grease and scale buildup that causes recurring backups. A maintenance contract is almost always cheaper than emergency calls.
