A clogged drain isn't just annoying — it's a sign your pipe is asking for help. Whether it's a slow kitchen sink full of grease or a main line backing up into the shower, The Snake Charmer LLC has cleared thousands of drains across Largo, Seminole, Clearwater, Belleair, St. Pete, and the rest of Pinellas County.

We use the right tool for the job — not a one-size-fits-all approach. A bathroom sink doesn't need the same cable as a 4-inch sewer line, and using the wrong equipment is how pipes get damaged. That's the difference between a drain specialist and a general handyman crew.

Most jobs are cleared in a single visit and we don't leave until water flows like it should.

How We Do It

Diagnose The Problem

We listen first. Where's it draining slow? How long? Is it one fixture or several? That tells us where the clog actually lives.

Pick The Right Cable

Different drain sizes need different cables — 1/4" for sink lines, 3/8" for tubs and laterals, full-size sectional or drum machines for main lines. We bring it all.

Clear It Completely

We don't stop when you hear a gurgle. We work the line until it runs free, then test it with running water to confirm.

Confirm With Camera (Optional)

If you've had recurring problems, we can drop a camera down to see why. No guessing — actual footage of your line.

Clean Up & Walk You Through

We show you what came out, explain what caused it, and clean every surface we touched. That's the standard.

What We Clear

  • Kitchen drains — grease, food waste, soap buildup. Most common single-fixture call.
  • Bathroom sinks — hair, toothpaste, soap scum.
  • Tub & shower drains — hair clogs, hair clogs, more hair clogs.
  • Toilet lines — paper, foreign objects, slow flushes that point to a deeper problem.
  • Floor drains — laundry, garage, utility room. Often forgotten until they back up.
  • Main sewer lines — the big one. Roots, scale, paper buildup, broken pipe.
  • Storm and yard drains — leaves, mud, Florida storm runoff.

When Snaking Isn't Enough

If a drain keeps clogging on the same line — kitchen line every six months, main line every winter — cabling is just a temporary fix. The real culprit is usually grease buildup, scale, or roots, which a cable just punches through.

For a long-term fix, we recommend hydro-jetting to fully scour the pipe walls, and a camera inspection to confirm there are no breaks or bellies. We can pair both with the same visit.

Common Questions

FAQs

How much does drain cleaning cost?
Pricing depends on the drain, the access, and what we find. We give you a flat, honest price before we start — no surprise charges. Call us at 727-390-1033 for a same-day quote.
Do chemical drain cleaners work?
We don't recommend them. Most over-the-counter products are sulfuric acid or lye that can damage older pipes (especially cast iron and clay common in Pinellas County) and rarely clear the actual obstruction. They also make our job harder when we arrive.
How long does it take?
A typical kitchen or bathroom drain is 30–45 minutes on site. A main sewer line clearing is usually 1–2 hours depending on access and severity.
Can you guarantee the drain stays clear?
We stand behind every job. If a single fixture drain we cleared clogs again from the same cause within 30 days, we come back at no charge. Roots and structural problems are different — we'll camera-confirm the cause and recommend a permanent fix.
Do I need to be home?
Yes for indoor work — we need access to the fixture and ideally a cleanout. For yard cleanouts and exterior jobs, we can sometimes work without you on site. Just call us at 727-390-1033 and we'll figure out the easiest plan.

If the camera shows a cracked, offset or collapsed line, cabling is only a temporary fix. Here is how we pin down what is wrong.

Hydro-Jetting

Same line clogging twice a year? Jetting scours the pipe wall back to full diameter instead of punching through.
