The Valley’s Drain Cleaning Experts
A slow drain is a way your home is letting you know something’s wrong, kind of like clearing its throat before something big happens. Hair, grease, soap scum, hard-water scale, and the occasional adventurous toy build up in the line until water has nowhere to go. The Polar Bears at Alaskan handle drain cleaning the right way, not the cheap way. That’s so the clog doesn’t keep coming back.
Got drain problems? We help homeowners with clogged deck drains on the back patio, pools that drain at a glacial pace, kitchen sinks that pool, and toilets that gurgle when your washer runs.
Drain Cleaning Services We Handle
Here’s what we do best when cleaning drains in Phoenix and Tucson.
Drain Clearing for Sinks, Tubs, and Showers
For everyday clogged drains in kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, and showers, our plumbers use the right tool for the job. We stay away from the harsh, store-bought chemicals. that do such a good job of chewing up your pipes all the way down. We pull the clog, test the flow, and leave the drain running like it should.
Hydro Jetting
Sometimes a drain snake won’t cut through years of grease, food scraps, and heavy desert grit inside your pipes. You need hydro jetting. Hydro jetting blasts the inside of the pipe with high-pressure water, thoroughly cleaning it. It’s like the closest thing to a “factory reset” your drains will ever get.
Drain Camera Inspections
Knowledge is power! Getting a “lay of the land,” so to speak, of your pipes is one of the most important steps in any drain cleaning project. They can show that what you think might be a clog really isn’t a clog at all. They are a cracked pipe, a belly in the line, or a thirsty mesquite or ficus root that has moved in and started decorating your pipes. Running a camera down the pipe lets us see what’s really going on in the dark.
Main Drain Line Cleaning
If multiple fixtures in your house are acting up all at once, it’s probably an issue with the main line. Main drain line cleaning clears the buildup, and a quick camera follow-up tells you whether you are looking at routine maintenance or something bigger.
Sewer Line Cleaning
This handles the heavy stuff out near the street, whether you’re in The East Valley or The Old Pueblo. It’s usually a mix of grease layers, scale, and root intrusion that have crept into the pipe over the years. We clear it, camera it, and document what we found so you have something real to reference next time.
Recurring Clog Diagnosis
Why does a clog keep coming back? If the same drain backs up every few months, the clog is the symptom, not the disease. We trace the line back to the root cause and plan a fix.
Signs You Need a Drain Plumber
- Water in one fixture rises when you run another
- Toilets gurgle when the washer or tub drains
- A stinky sulfur or sewage smell from a sink, drain, or yard cleanout
- The same drain backs up every few weeks or months
- Multiple slow drains in the same part of the house
- Wet patches in the yard above the sewer line
If you’re seeing any of the above, a Polar Bear plumber can usually diagnose it during the first visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are common drain cleaning questions we hear from our customers.
How much does drain cleaning cost?
Most standard clogs and jobs land within a predictable range, about $100 to $300. Hydro jetting and drain camera inspections are priced higher because of the equipment and time involved. But don’t worry, we’ll keep you in the know about how much everything costs. And we’ll tell you well before we get our paws dirty.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe?
No, not really. They’re really hard on older pipes, and they rarely fix the main problem. A good mechanical drain clearing costs about the same as a few bottles of the stuff and lasts a lot longer.
How often should I have my drains cleaned?
Most Arizona homes do well with main drain line cleaning every one to two years. If you have mature trees over the sewer line or a history of recurring clogs, annual is the safer call. We’ll work on a plan with you when you call.
