Lexington
Drain Cleaning.

Running drain trucks out of United Court, we see the same handful of Lexington problems over and over — and they map to the neighborhoods. Around the University of Kentucky — Aylesford, the Elizabeth Street and South Limestone corridors, the older multi-unit houses off Rose Street — it is rentals: hair and wipes in bathroom lines, kitchen lines that six roommates have never once run hot water through, and a wave of calls every August when the leases turn over. Inside New Circle — Ashland Park, Chevy Chase, Kenwick, Bell Court — it is the pipe itself: cast-iron and galvanized drains in pre-1960 homes that have rusted rough on the inside and catch everything, and clay sewer laterals with tree roots at the joints.

Along the restaurant corridors — downtown, Richmond Road, Nicholasville Road, Hamburg — it is grease. A commercial kitchen line does not care how good the grease trap is; it coats and clogs on a schedule, and a cable only buys a few weeks. Out in the newer subdivisions — Beaumont, Masterson Station, Andover, Hartland — the PVC is fine but Kentucky American Water's hard water scales up fixtures and slows drains, and settled fill leaves bellies in the yard line that catch debris.

Drain cleaning in the Lexington area typically runs $159–$389 depending on the drain and the machine it needs — a toilet auger, a sink line, a main sewer cable job and hydro jetting each price differently. Every job is flat-rate and quoted upfront: you approve the exact price before work starts. No hourly meter running, no surprise trip charge for coming across town. New customers can take $50 off with code DRAIN50 — mention it at booking.

We publish the full plain-English breakdown of how drain work is priced, what makes a job cheaper or more expensive, and when jetting is worth it over another cable pass, in our drain cleaning cost guide.
