Professional Drain Cleaning in Cincinnati, OH
Fast, Effective Drain Cleaning for Homes & Businesses
Clogged or slow drains can quickly disrupt daily routines and lead to more serious plumbing issues if left untreated. At The Drain Smith, we provide professional drain cleaning services for residential and commercial properties throughout Cincinnati, OH and surrounding communities.
Our experienced technicians use proven methods to remove buildup, restore proper flow, and help prevent recurring drain problems — without damaging your plumbing system.
What Is Professional Drain Cleaning?
Professional drain cleaning involves removing obstructions, buildup, and debris from inside drain pipes to restore normal water flow. Over time, grease, soap residue, hair, food particles, and scale can accumulate inside pipes, leading to slow drains or complete blockages.
Unlike store-bought chemical cleaners, professional drain cleaning safely clears pipes without causing corrosion or long-term damage.
Common Drain Problems We Fix
Drain issues can develop gradually or appear suddenly. Our drain cleaning services address a wide range of common problems, including:
Typical Drain Issues
Slow-draining sinks, tubs, or showers
Frequent or recurring drain clogs
Foul odors coming from drains
Gurgling sounds from pipes
Standing water or backups
Multiple drains clogging at the same time
Identifying and resolving these issues early helps prevent costly repairs and sewer line damage.
Our Drain Cleaning Services
We tailor our drain cleaning approach based on the cause and severity of the blockage.
Cable Snake Drain Cleaning
Cable snake drain cleaning uses specialized tools to break up and remove clogs inside the pipe. This method is effective for localized blockages caused by hair, debris, or buildup.
Hydro Jetting for Drain Cleaning
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to thoroughly clean drain and sewer lines by removing grease, scale, sludge, and debris. It’s ideal for recurring clogs, heavy buildup, and commercial drain systems.
Sewer Camera Inspections
When drain problems persist, sewer camera inspections allow us to see inside the pipes and identify underlying issues such as damage, root intrusion, or structural problems.

Professional drain cleaning is the process of removing buildup, debris, and blockages from inside drain pipes to restore proper water flow. It addresses clogs caused by grease, soap residue, hair, food particles, and other materials that accumulate over time.
How do I know if I need drain cleaning?
Common signs include slow-draining sinks or tubs, recurring clogs, foul odors coming from drains, gurgling sounds, standing water, or multiple drains clogging at the same time. These issues often indicate buildup inside the pipes that requires professional cleaning.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?
Store-bought chemical drain cleaners can damage pipes and often provide only temporary relief. Professional drain cleaning is safer and more effective because it removes buildup without harming your plumbing system.

Drain cleaning methods may include cable snake cleaning, hydro jetting, and camera-guided diagnostics. The appropriate method depends on the type of blockage, pipe condition, and severity of the issue.
