You know that sinking feeling when water won’t go down. The backup in your kitchen sink during dinner prep. The shower that turns into a bathtub because nothing’s draining.
Here’s what changes after we clean your drains properly. Water flows fast and stays flowing. Your sinks empty completely without that annoying gurgling sound. Showers drain so well you forget there was ever a problem.
No more standing water. No more slow drainage that gets worse each week. No more wondering when the next backup will hit at the worst possible moment.
Murray Plumbing has been handling drain problems in Midtown for years. Our 4.7-star Google rating from 93+ customers tells you what matters most—we do what we say we’ll do.
When you call for emergency drain cleaning, we actually show up. Our technicians arrive on time, work efficiently, and explain exactly what they’re doing. No mystery charges, no surprise fees after the work is done.
Midtown residents deal with unique plumbing challenges, from older building systems to high-traffic commercial properties. We know these systems inside and out.
First, we assess your specific drain problem. Not all clogs are the same, and cookie-cutter solutions don’t work. We inspect the drain, identify the blockage type, and explain what’s causing the backup.
Next, we use the right equipment for your situation. Sometimes it’s a simple snake for basic clogs. Other times we bring in hydro-jetting equipment for grease buildup or tree root intrusion. We match the tool to the problem.
After clearing the blockage, we test water flow and check for underlying issues that could cause future problems. You’ll know your drains are working properly before we leave, and you’ll understand what to watch for going forward.

Midtown properties often deal with specific drainage challenges. Older buildings may have cast iron pipes prone to buildup. Newer developments sometimes have installation issues that cause recurring problems. Commercial kitchens face grease accumulation that requires specialized cleaning.
We handle main line cleaning, kitchen sink clogs, bathroom drain backups, and floor drain issues. Our equipment handles everything from hair and soap buildup to tree roots in sewer lines. Emergency calls get priority response because we know drain backups don’t wait for business hours.
Drain cleaning costs depend on the severity and location of the clog. Simple sink or shower clogs typically run $150-300. Main line cleaning or complex blockages range from $300-600.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work. No hidden fees, no surprise charges after we’re done. Many customers tell us our final cost was actually less than the original estimate.
Emergency calls may include a service fee, but we’ll explain all costs when you call. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we begin the work.
Recurring clogs usually mean the original problem wasn’t fully addressed. Hair, grease, and soap residue build up over time, creating partial blockages that get worse with each use.
Tree roots growing into sewer lines cause repeated backups, especially in older Midtown properties. Cast iron pipes develop rough interior surfaces that catch debris more easily than newer materials.
Sometimes the issue is deeper in your plumbing system. We identify the root cause during our inspection, so you get a lasting solution instead of temporary fixes that fail in a few weeks.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency drain cleaning throughout Midtown. Drain backups don’t follow business hours, and neither do we.
Emergency response typically means we’re at your property within 2 hours of your call. We carry the equipment needed for most drain cleaning jobs on our trucks, so we can resolve most problems the same day.
Emergency calls do include a service fee, but you’ll know the total cost before we start working. We understand that drain emergencies are stressful enough without worrying about surprise charges.
Most drain cleaning jobs take 1-3 hours depending on the blockage severity and location. Simple sink or shower clogs often clear within an hour. Main line cleaning or multiple drain issues take longer.
We don’t rush through the work just to finish quickly. Proper drain cleaning means removing the entire blockage, testing water flow, and checking for potential future problems.
Complex jobs like tree root removal or extensive grease buildup may require multiple visits. We’ll explain the timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Drain snaking uses a flexible cable to break through clogs and pull out debris. It works well for hair, paper, and small objects blocking your pipes. Most basic clogs respond to snaking.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean pipe walls, removing grease buildup, mineral deposits, and tree roots. It’s more thorough than snaking and prevents future clogs longer.
We choose the right method based on your specific situation. Kitchen drains with grease buildup benefit from hydro jetting. Bathroom clogs from hair usually need snaking. We’ll explain which approach works best for your problem.
While we can’t prevent all future clogs, proper cleaning significantly reduces how often they occur. Hydro jetting removes buildup from pipe walls, giving you months or years before problems return.
Regular maintenance cleaning prevents small issues from becoming major backups. We can set up a maintenance schedule based on your property’s specific needs and usage patterns.
Simple habits also help—avoiding grease down kitchen drains, using drain screens in showers, and running hot water after each use. We’ll share specific tips based on what we find during your drain cleaning.
