When water starts backing up in your sink, shower, or toilet, it’s easy to assume a plunger or drain cleaner will fix the problem. But sometimes, the issue runs deeper—literally. Knowing the difference between sewer and drain cleaning in Las Vegas, NV can help you choose the right service and avoid repeat plumbing concerns.
Our team at Discount Drain Cleaning LV offers both, but here’s how to tell which one your clogged pipes need.
A Closer Look at Drain Cleaning
Drain cleaning services focus on clearing clogs in the smaller pipes inside your home. These include bathroom sinks, kitchen drains, bathtubs, and showers. Clogs in these areas are often caused by an accumulation of hair, grease, food particles, or soap scum. If you notice slow drainage or gurgling sounds from a specific fixture, there’s likely an issue with that particular drain.
A skilled technician will typically perform drain snaking to break up the blockage. In some cases, hydro jetting may be used for a more thorough clean. Regular drain cleaning can help prevent bigger problems from developing.
What Sewer Cleaning Entails
Sewer pipe cleaning deals with obstructions in the main sewer line that connects your plumbing to the municipal sewer system or septic tank. When this line becomes clogged, multiple fixtures in your home may be affected. You might notice all toilets backing up, water coming up from floor drains, or foul smells around your property.
Clogged sewer lines can result from various factors, such as tree root intrusion, grease buildup, or foreign objects that get stuck in the pipes. Sewer cleaning usually requires professional equipment like sewer cameras to locate the problem and hydro jetting machines or tree root removal tools to clear the line. In cases where pipe damage, like a crack or collapse, is causing the issue, sewer repair or replacement may be necessary.
Opting for the Best Solution
A good rule of thumb is to see how many drains are affected. If there’s only one slow or clogged drain, drain cleaning should do the trick. If multiple fixtures are giving you trouble—especially in parts of the house that are far from each other—sewer pipe cleaning can be the answer.
Also, if you’ve tried clearing a drain and the issue returns not long after, it might be a deeper blockage in the sewer line that needs more advanced attention.

I had the cartridge in my shower go bad and couldn't shut off my water. I called Walter at 6:00 am. He told me to shut off the water main and waited for him to get to my house and he fixed it in a matter of minutes, about 10-15 to be exact. I highly recommend them for any plumbing issues one might have.

We received a call from one of our tenants at a commercial retail center that all their toilets and sinks were backing up. We manage the property from out of town and rarely have plumbing issues, but now needed a plumber in a hurry. The tenant runs a childcare center and small children need access to bathrooms! After calling several companies who were too busy, one of them recommended Walter at Discount Drain. Lucky for us! Walter answered his phone immediately. He was friendly and committed to helping us out. He arrived at the property at the promised time and resolved our issue, keeping our tenants happy. His invoice arrived overnight with great detail and the price was reasonable. We won't hesitate to call upon Walter again.

Outstanding service. Was on time, price quoted was price charged, drains open and working in 30 minutes !! No mess to clean up, and was explained everything. Forget the ripoff plumbers in this city, that sell with the fear factor, and work you don't need. This is the only company to call.
