How Much Does Drain Cleaning Cost?

Homewyse's 2026 estimate puts the cost to clean a drain at $137 to $341 per drain, based on national averages for labor, basic supplies and a small electric rooter machine.

Angi's cost guide breaks it down by fixture: a kitchen sink runs about $110 to $215, a toilet about $110 to $275, and a bathtub or shower around $225. These are national figures, not Minnesota-specific quotes, and a plumber will price the actual job before starting.

Main line work tends to cost more because it usually involves a larger cable machine and sometimes harder access. Angi's cost guide puts a simple main line clog at $200 to $300, with a wider range of $100 to $800 depending on how severe the clog is and how far it sits beyond the access point.

Access matters as much as the clog itself. A main line with an easy cleanout is a faster job than one where a toilet has to be pulled or the cleanout is buried.

Angi's hydro jetting guide lists an average cost of about $475, with a typical range of $350 to $600 for a full professional cleaning visit, and notes the job can run as low as $100 or as high as $2,000 depending on the line.

Jetting usually costs more than a single snaking because it cleans the full inside of the pipe instead of just punching a path through the clog. Many plumbers snake a line first to restore flow, then recommend jetting afterward if they find heavy grease or recurring buildup.

HomeAdvisor's cost guide puts a sewer camera inspection at an average of about $995, with most homeowners paying between $271 and $1,725, and a full range of $100 to $6,000 for unusual or very long lines.

A camera inspection tends to be most worth paying for on a recurring clog or a first-time main line backup, since it shows whether the pipe itself is damaged instead of just confirming the clog is gone.

Fixr's cost guide for toilet clogs shows the same pattern in miniature: a basic snake runs about $100 to $250, while hydro jetting a serious, neglected clog that has caused a backup can run up to roughly $1,000. The jump reflects more time, a bigger machine, and the fact that jetting often follows a snake rather than replacing it.

None of these figures are quotes. They are what published cost guides report homeowners paying nationally in 2025 and 2026. The only way to know your actual price is to get one from the plumber who looks at your line.

Ask whether the price is a flat rate per drain, an hourly charge, or includes a camera inspection, since companies structure this differently and the figures above are not directly comparable unless you know what is included.
