Dealing with slow drains, stubborn clogs, or recurring backups in your home? At Pelican Underground LLC, we’re your trusted experts for residential drain cleaning across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. Our professional drain clearing services get your pipes flowing smoothly again—without the mess or hassle.
Professional drain cleaning goes far beyond what you can do with store-bought products. Our pipe cleaning services use specialized equipment like drain snakes, augers, and electric eels to remove stubborn blockages that chemical cleaners can’t touch.
Think of professional drain maintenance as a deep cleaning for your pipes. We don’t just push clogs further down the line—we completely remove them. Our drain restoration process clears away years of soap scum, mineral deposits, hair, grease, and other debris that builds up over time.
Here’s what makes our approach different:
Our electric drain snakes can reach deep into your pipes to break up and remove tough clogs. These flexible cables with cutting heads are perfect for hair removal and breaking through soap scum buildup.
For severe clogs, grease buildup, or mineral deposits that resist standard drain cleaning methods, our hydro jetting service provides the high-pressure cleaning power needed to completely clear your pipes.
We use eco-friendly enzyme products and biological cleaners that break down organic matter safely. These treatments work great for ongoing drain maintenance without harsh chemicals.
When routine drain cleaning encounters persistent or recurring blockages, we recommend sewer camera inspection to identify underlying issues such as pipe damage, root intrusion, or structural problems that cleaning alone cannot resolve.
Don’t wait until you have a complete backup. Here are signs you need professional drain clearing:
Most homes benefit from professional drain cleaning once a year. However, your maintenance schedule might vary based on:
Homes with heavy usage or older pipes may need cleaning every 6-8 months, while lighter-use homes might go 18 months between cleanings.
Sometimes drain cleaning reveals bigger problems. When drain cleaning reveals more serious underlying issues like cracked pipes, root intrusion, or structural damage, our advanced residential trenchless solutions provide comprehensive repair options without the need for extensive excavation or landscape disruption.
If drain cleaning reveals signs of pipe damage or structural issues during the cleaning process, our trenchless pipe repair solutions can address these problems without disrupting your property or landscaping.

Professional drain cleaning costs vary based on the severity of the clog and which drains need service. Simple kitchen or bathroom drain clearing typically costs less than main sewer line cleaning. We provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect. Most homeowners find professional cleaning costs less than repeated DIY attempts plus potential pipe damage from chemical cleaners.
Regular drain cleaning uses mechanical tools like snakes and augers to break through clogs and clear debris. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely scour pipe walls clean, removing years of buildup. Think of drain snaking as spot cleaning and hydro jetting as deep cleaning. We recommend hydro jetting for severe buildup or when you want the most thorough cleaning possible.
Absolutely! Simple prevention saves money and hassle. Avoid putting grease, coffee grounds, or food scraps down kitchen drains. Use drain screens to catch hair in bathroom drains. Run hot water after each use to help dissolve soap residue. Monthly enzyme treatments can help break down organic buildup naturally.
With proper maintenance, professional drain cleaning typically keeps drains flowing smoothly for 12-18 months. However, this varies based on usage, family size, and what goes down your drains. Homes with heavy cooking, long hair, or hard water may need more frequent cleaning.
We don’t recommend regular use of chemical drain cleaners. They can damage pipes, especially older ones, and create toxic fumes. For minor clogs, try hot water, plunging, or enzyme cleaners first. Save chemical products for emergencies only, and always follow label directions carefully.
Stop using the affected drain immediately to prevent flooding. If multiple drains are backing up, this indicates a main line problem that needs immediate professional attention. Call us right away—we offer emergency drain clearing services to prevent water damage to your home.
Professional drain cleaning is safe for all pipe materials when done correctly. We use appropriate tools and techniques for your specific pipe type and age. Unlike harsh chemical cleaners that can corrode pipes, our mechanical cleaning methods remove clogs without damaging your plumbing system.
If drain cleaning successfully clears your pipes and they stay clear, you just needed cleaning. However, if clogs return quickly, drains remain slow after cleaning, or we find damage during camera inspection, you may need pipe repair. We’ll explain exactly what we find and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
