Amir at The Otter Guys did a fantastic job for me fixing some backed up drain lines. Professional, curious and an attention to detail. I would highly recommend. Thanks again!
Why Charlottesville homeowners choose The Otter Guys
65+ years clearing drains across Central Virginia
We’ve cleared thousands of clogged drains since 1960 — kitchen sinks, showers, tubs, floor drains, main lines. Our trucks carry professional-grade equipment that handles what Drano and plungers can’t.
We go further — other companies just snake and leave
Most drain companies clear the blockage and walk out the door. We run a camera through the line to show you what caused it — tree roots, grease buildup, a cracked pipe. You see the footage yourself and decide what to do next. No guessing, no repeat clogs, no surprise callback fees.
Upfront pricing before any work starts
You know the cost before we touch anything. No hourly charges, no surprise add-ons, no pressure. If the camera shows something beyond a simple clog, we’ll explain what we found and give you a separate written estimate. No pressure, no surprises — you decide what happens next.

Signs you need professional drain cleaning
Slow Kitchen Sink
Water pools or drains slowly. Usually grease, food debris, or soap buildup deeper in the line than a plunger can reach.
Clogged Shower or Tub
Water backs up while you shower or won’t drain from the tub. Typically hair, soap scum, or buildup in the trap or drain line.
Gurgling Sounds
Bubbling or gurgling from your sink or tub when water drains. This means air is trapped by a partial blockage in the drain line — and it usually gets worse before it gets better.
Sewage Smell from a Drain
A persistent musty or rotten egg smell from one drain. Usually trapped debris or buildup in the pipe — a sign the line needs professional cleaning.
Toilet Won’t Flush Properly
Water rises when you flush, or the bowl drains slowly and doesn’t refill properly. Usually a blockage in the toilet’s drain line — not always the toilet itself.
Multiple Drains Clogging
More than one drain running slow or backing up at the same time. This usually means the problem is deeper in the main line — exactly what a camera inspection reveals.

Here’s exactly what happens when you call
We clear the clog
A licensed plumber arrives (usually same day), diagnoses the blockage, and clears it with professional equipment — the kind that handles what store-bought products can’t. Most clogs are resolved in under an hour. Your $100 off is applied automatically — no coupon needed.
Camera inspection reveals the cause
After the line is clear, we run a camera through it to show you exactly what caused the clog. You see the footage yourself — grease buildup, tree roots, pipe damage, or a simple one-time blockage. If the line looks good, we’ll tell you.
Your options (if needed)
If the camera shows something beyond a simple clog — root intrusion, a broken section, or a main line problem — we’ll explain what we found and give you a written estimate for the repair. No pressure. Many clogs are one-time fixes with no follow-up needed.
Still dealing with that clog? That blockage isn’t getting better.
Every week you wait, the blockage gets worse — and the fix gets more expensive. Right now, drain cleaning is $100 off and includes a free camera inspection that shows you exactly what’s going on inside the pipe. No obligation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most drain cleaning jobs range from $150 to $400, depending on the location and severity of the clog. Kitchen sink and shower clogs are typically on the lower end. Main line clogs or clogs requiring hydro-jetting cost more. We give you the exact price before any work starts. Right now, drain cleaning is $100 off — so most jobs run $50 to $300.
A drain snake (or auger) mechanically breaks through the clog and pulls debris out. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to blast buildup off the pipe walls and flush everything away. Snaking handles most clogs; hydro-jetting is more thorough for heavy grease buildup or recurring blockages. Your technician will recommend the right method.
Recurring clogs usually mean something deeper is going on — grease buildup, tree root intrusion, or a partially collapsed pipe. That’s exactly what the camera inspection reveals. Once you know the cause, you can fix it permanently instead of clearing the same clog every few months.
Yes. If the camera inspection reveals a bigger issue that requires pipe repair, we offer financing plans from 5 to 15 years with approvals in as little as 2 minutes. Drain cleaning itself is typically affordable without financing, but repairs are covered.
Most drain cleaning jobs take 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the severity and location of the clog. The camera inspection adds about 15–20 minutes. We’ll give you a time estimate when we arrive.
If the camera shows root intrusion, widespread pipe damage, or a main line collapse, that’s a sewer line issue — not just a drain clog. We’ll explain what we found, give you a separate written estimate for sewer repair, and walk you through your options including trenchless repair. There’s no obligation — you decide.
A clogged drain is fixable — and right now, it’s $100 off. We’ve cleared thousands of them across Charlottesville, from stubborn kitchen sinks to backed-up main lines. Whatever’s slowing your drains, we’ve seen it and fixed it. Call today and we’ll show you exactly what’s going on inside the pipe.
