# Drain Cleaning and Clog Removal in Las Vegas > Drain cleaning, clog removal and camera inspection across the Las Vegas Valley. We find out why the drain clogged, not just clear it once. Source: https://monkeywrenchlv.com/services/drains/ A drain that clogs twice in a year is reporting a problem with the line, not with what went down it. Camera inspection separates a repeat clog caused by grease from one caused by a bellied line, root intrusion or a cast iron pipe that has scaled shut, and those three have very different fixes. ## What this covers - **Drain cleaning and cabling**: Clearing kitchen, bathroom, laundry, tub and main line stoppages. - **Hydro jetting**: High pressure cleaning that strips grease and scale from the pipe wall rather than punching a hole through it. - **Camera inspection**: Video inspection of the line to find the actual cause of a repeat clog, with the footage shown to you. ## Detail ### Repeat clog diagnosis If the same drain clogs twice, cabling it a third time is the wrong answer. We camera it. ### Cast iron scale Older valley housing still has cast iron drain lines, and cast iron scales inward until the effective diameter is a fraction of nominal. ### Cleanout access If the property has no accessible cleanout, the first job is often installing one. ## Common questions ### Why does my drain keep clogging? A drain that clogs twice in a year is reporting a problem with the line, not with what went down it. A camera inspection separates a grease clog from a bellied line, root intrusion or a cast iron pipe that has scaled shut, and those three have very different fixes. Cabling it a third time without looking is the wrong answer. ### What is the difference between cabling and hydro jetting? A cable punches through the blockage and gets the water moving again, which is the right call for a one-off stoppage. Hydro jetting scours the pipe wall itself with high pressure water, stripping the grease and scale a cable leaves behind. If a drain has clogged more than once, the cable is treating the symptom and the jetter is treating the cause. ### Why do older Las Vegas homes get repeat drain problems? A lot of the valley's older housing still has cast iron drain lines, and cast iron scales inward over decades until the working diameter is a fraction of what the pipe nominally is. There is no amount of cabling that restores that. A camera tells you whether you are looking at scale, a bellied section or roots, and only then is it worth deciding how to put the run right. ### What if my drain line has no cleanout? Then fitting one is usually the first job. A cleanout is the capped access point that lets a drain line be reached and cleared properly, and a property without one has to be worked through a roof vent or a pulled fixture, which is slower and harder on the plumbing. Installing one is a one-off that makes every future visit quicker. ### Are you licensed and insured? Yes.
