What drain cleaning costs in Colorado

Drain prices vary more by where the clog is and how you reach it than by which plumber you call. These are the ranges Colorado homeowners typically see in 2026, plus the things that move a job up or down within them.

Typical price ranges

JobTypical range
Bathroom sink, tub or shower drain$125–$350
Toilet clog (auger or pull and clear)$150–$400
Kitchen sink line$125–$300
Main sewer line from a cleanout$200–$600
Main line with no cleanout (through a toilet)$300–$700
Tree root cutting$250–$700
Hydro jetting a main line$350–$900
Sewer camera inspection$150–$400
Frozen drain line thaw$200–$600

What pushes the price up

  • No cleanout: the plumber has to pull a toilet to reach the main, which adds time and a new wax ring.
  • Nights, weekends and holidays. Many plumbers charge a higher trip fee outside business hours.
  • Long or deep laterals, common on larger lots and in the foothills.
  • Roots or grease that need a second pass or jetting after the first cable run.
  • Mountain towns, where travel time is part of the bill.

What keeps it down

  • Knowing where your cleanout is and clearing access to it before the plumber arrives.
  • Booking a daytime slot if the clog is a single slow fixture and not a backup.
  • Telling the plumber what you've noticed: one drain or several, gurgling, water in the floor drain. It speeds up diagnosis.
  • Asking whether a camera inspection is included when a main line is cleared, rather than booking it separately later.

Questions to ask on the phone

  1. 01

    Is there a trip or diagnostic fee?

    Some plumbers charge one and credit it toward the job; others don't. Either is fine if you know upfront.

  2. 02

    Flat price or hourly?

    Ask for a price range before work starts and what happens if the first cable run doesn't clear it.

  3. 03

    Is a camera inspection included?

    For main lines it's worth having, especially after a second backup.

  4. 04

    License and insurance?

    Colorado licenses plumbers at the state level. Ask for their license number; you can look it up through the state's licensing site.

  5. 05

    What does your warranty cover?

    Warranties on drain clearing vary by plumber. Get the terms in writing.
