When you’re dealing with an emergency sewage backup, every minute feels like an hour. I called this company at 3:25 pm expecting to be put on a long waitlist, but to my surprise they had a technician, Isaac, at my door by 3:45. That kind of response time alone deserves five stars. From the moment he arrived, Isaac was professional, calm, and clearly knew what he was doing. He quickly diagnosed the problem, explained the situation in plain terms, and immediately got to work. Within an hour, our pipes and lift station—completely backed up—were fully unclogged and running smoothly again. What impressed me most was not just the speed, but the thoroughness and care. Isaac treated our home and situation with respect, making sure everything was handled properly and that we understood what had been done. In a stressful moment, he made the entire process straightforward and reassuring. If you’re ever in need of drain or sewage services, don’t hesitate to call them. It’s rare these days to find a company that responds this quickly and delivers this level of quality. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I had a drain line issue in my washroom, water was pooling on the floor, I called three other companies and they were backed up for days, I called Arctic Sewer and Drain and within minutes scheduled a service call that same afternoon. The Tech arrived, seen and diagnosed my issue, went right to work, explained to me what needed to be done and he was speedy, got right to it with right equipment ,friendly and even snaked my main drain to street. Now I am comfortable knowing I have good drainage in my pipes. I recommend this company for the quick return communication and quick service for what was a stressful situation.

I had a tub that was not draining. I had called Alaska Sewer & Drain, who I have used before and they did not return my call and when I called them back it was forwarded to someone's cell phone that had nothing to do with the company! I called Arctic Sewer & Drain and they got me on their schedule. They showed up ahead of schedule and were polite and friendly. Cleared my tub drain (hair gremlin) and were in and out in 30 Minutes! I am impressed and very happy with Arctic Sewer & Drain. They have definely earned me as a customer. Thanks Isaac's!!!

Robert Robertson

Above and beyond service. I had a clog in my drains the day after I moved into my new home. After the Home Warranty contractor came out and unsuccessfully cleared the clog I called One Stop for a Vac Truck service. Spencer took the time to discuss the issue, advised that a less expensive service to snake with his equipment would address the problem through a toilet. After discovering his equipment was too large to fit into the selected bathroom, they replaced my toilet seal and toilet at no additional charge, successfully cleared the clog through the outside clean out, and used their camera to measure out and show me where the clog was also with no additional charge. This was way beyond the scope of what was charged and truly exceptional customer service. This is my go-to if I ever run into issues again. 10/10ths Do Recommend.

I can highly recommend this place. I needed my drain cleaned and scoped. I had another company quote me over five times the price. Chugach did a great job, I would hire them again in a heartbeat. They were professional, gave me a digital copy of the video of my clean drain. The cleaning was excellent. Drain looks great. Most importantly, they were honest. They didn't try to upsell me on expensive and unnecessary repairs.

The tech, Cody, was super knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. He had my drain flowing free and unclogged in 20 minutes, then spent the rest of the hour re-snaking/jetting the pipes, making sure there would be no problems later on. Truly outstanding. Can't recommend these guys enough.

Great service! I had grey water come up through my garage drain late Friday night. I called AK Rooter and talked through the issue and agreed to a Monday appointment to avoid weekend OT. They snaked the pipes and let me know there was a blockage caused by HAIR! They flushed the system and were on their way.

I had a severely clogged garage, drain issue and James save the day! It was a very stubborn clog, but he did not give up. As a matter of fact, he could not get it the first visit and return several days later with a new idea and cleared the drain immediately. I was only charged for the first hour of Service … They did not charge for the second visit. I highly recommend this family run business

Bob is an amazing man super nice and professional no BS. Our kitchen drain was clogged. I called two other so called professionals to busy to call back. Both flaked on me. Bob kept his word don’t waste your time. It was flat rate of $130 no more ever he said. Don’t bother buying a snake that wasn’t long or good enough. Like I did then the time and frustration . Just call Bob Curry he’s nice on another level that is almost nonexistent these days.

I run a property management and used Curry's in the past. We called today and they were able to get out there fast to check on a clogged toilet. Regrettably he wasn't able to get it at the time, as he was trying to fit us in between a few other jobs. He recommended us to another crew and he didn't even charge for going out there in the first place since he didn't have the time to fix it. We will definitely be using Curry's again in the future. Very responsive, prompt, and honest.

Definitely will be using Drain Masters service in the future. Thank you guys so much!

He was patient, observant, methodically eliminating causes of the leak…and finally found it!! Great job!! October 3, 2025 Gerald was the first Plumber to actually accurately identify the problem and I’m very fortunate that he was the plumber that finally fixed it. It was no simple task. The Pipe laid against the exterior wall fixed in place with blown foam insulation that was rock hard Immobilizing the drainage pipe and making removal quite difficult . The hardened insulation had to be chipped away from the leaking pipe.After he did this he was able to cut the pipe out. He replaced the pipe redirecting itt down through a new opening in the floor. True, true his initial impression, a large crack in the pipe Was quite visible! Now everything is flowing well no leaks. I’m delighted. He is a great asset to Drain Masters, and I can’t thank him enough for his expertise.

Anthony, our professional service tech, was generally happy, confident, and reassuring. Our floor drain was plugged. He explained what he was going to do to clear the drain. Then, he effortlessly and with purpose unclogged the drain with a commercial grade snake. Afterwards, Anthony shared some tips for a bacteria grade drain cleaner to use as a regular maintenance tip for our drains. Great service, wonderful dispatch.

Woke up to no water in the house and quickly determined there was a leak in the water main between the city line and my home. I called Rock Solid Heating and Plumbing, and John responded right away. He came out, assessed the issue, and confirmed that the City of Anchorage needed to shut off the water. Rather than delaying service, John explained he had just received an urgent call from an elderly couple in the Valley and asked if he could send another technician to me instead. I appreciated the honesty and agreed. While waiting for the city and the second technician, I received a call from Michel, who clearly explained the situation and let me know he was on his way. He arrived shortly after and got straight to work. Once the water was shut off, Michel completed the repair in under 30 minutes. Both technicians were professional, friendly, and took the time to answer all of my questions. I highly recommend Rock Solid Heating and Plumbing for any emergency or general heating and plumbing needs. They’ve absolutely earned my business going forward.

Rock Solid sent out a couple of guys for a furnace and water heater install and they were both incredibly respectful and knowledgeable. Kyle in particular patiently walked through a series of questions I had before hand while communicating the logistics of time and space and access for the project. He provided his number and kept in contact with me through the install and even after was kind enough to take a call and review additional clarifications I had. The system works great and I really appreciate the service and interactions. Would utilize this company again in a heartbeat. Thanks RockSolid!

I want to give a kudo to Rock Solid Plumbing & Heating company. On Black Friday, my senior tenant woke up to a cold house without heat, and I was out-of-town. Worried that my tenant might catch a cold, we immediately started to call different companies. Most of the companies either don't have anybody on-call or they never return my call (which is understandable given it is the day after Thanksgiving). Rock Solid picked up the phone, the guy on the phone was very professional and calm. He got us scheduled immediately. In an hour, Michael showed up to the house. He opened up the thermostat, there were two batteries in the thermostat, turned out it was out-of-battery. He instructed my tenant to switch out the battery and in a second, the heat came back on. Rock Solid didn't charge us or send us a bill afterward. I truly appreciate Rock Solid and Michael's help on Black Friday. Safe to say, this company earned our business onward. I will for sure book an appointment for a furnace tune up next year, and I recommend this company to other people as well! P.S: Rock solid please don't send me a bill after seeing if you forgot to charge me LOL.

Ricky from Klebs' was amazing. He responded to an emergency call when my heater stopped working on Jan 4, temp -8F. He was so professional and had my heater working in an hour. I am so grateful and so impressed. I will be used Klebs for all my heating needs going forward.

Well, Klebs was responsive in calling me back on a weekend. He talked about the issue; my heater was not working. He suggested we call in the morning as it wasn’t that cold out, and that would make it a normal house call rather than a after hours, expensive call out. After working on the heater and discovering a fourth fuse, I ended up replacing the fuse and it fixed the issue… But I didn’t know it. I had turned off the machine from the switch in back.That is why i didn’t realize my fix.So when the after hours Klebs guy came by… after some discussion he flipped the switch on… Everything worked! So I had to pay a $300 after-hours stupid tax. And glad to do it.

My house furnace quit working so I called Klebs Mechanical, they sent a technician over to troubleshoot the problem, he found three things wrong with it. My furnace is 20 years old, he told me he would try to find the parts, I called them up to see what the status of the parts was left messages no call back, I finally got a hold of someone and a week later sent another person with the parts out but couldn’t fix it, he told me he would try to get the right part but the next day he called me back and told me I was better off investing in a new furnace fixed myself.

I had an incredible experience with Sound Mechanical thanks entirely to Billy, who rescued me from a major plumbing disaster. I had defective plumbing in my crawl space and leaking pipes hidden behind a bathroom wall, and Billy handled both problems with absolute mastery. He found the issues quickly, explained everything in a way that made sense, and then got to work with total confidence and skill. His attention to detail was obvious—every repair was clean, thorough, and done the right way, not the fast way. The difference in my home’s plumbing is night and day. Beyond being highly knowledgeable, Billy was professional, friendly, and easy to trust in a stressful situation. He treated my home with real care and made the entire process feel manageable. If you need a plumber, ask for Billy. Sound Mechanical is lucky to have him, and I can’t recommend his work enough!

We had some ceiling damage from a slow leak in our rental condo. I was going out of town, so I called around to try and get a quick estimate.. At first Sound Mechanical didn’t have any appointments, but said they’d call if something came open. It did, and the plumber, Eric, arrived as expected! He was able to quickly find the leak source and efficiently cut a neat hole in the sheetrock.. He also spotted the source of another leak that I thought was a non-plumbing related issue. He promptly fixed both leaks using a tool that compresses copper pipe instead of having to sweat it. So much faster with no torch flame! The price was reasonable, and I am very happy with Eric’s service and professionalism. Sound Mechanical will be our go-to for any plumbing issues!

Professional Drain Cleaning in Anchorage

Dealing with a stubborn clog in Anchorage shouldn't mean spending your afternoon on hold. In a city where the sub-arctic climate can turn a simple slow drain into a frozen pipe nightmare, you need local expertise fast. Our service simplifies the search by scanning our network of 15 certified plumbers across the Anchorage bowl to find the right pro for your specific needs. We understand that whether you are in Sand Lake, Mountain View, or the Hillside, your time is valuable. Instead of you calling down a list of names, we filter by your exact zip code and personally call the plumbers to confirm they have a technician ready to handle your drain emergency right now. We do the legwork so you can get your home back in order without the stress of multiple phone calls.

Common Drain Issues in Anchorage

Frozen Drain Lines: In Anchorage, deep freezes can cause moisture in poorly insulated drain lines to crystallize and expand. This often leads to complete blockages that standard chemicals can't touch, requiring professional thawing and cleaning to prevent pipe bursts.

Glacial Silt and Sediment: Our unique local geology means that outdoor drainage systems and even some indoor lines can face issues with fine glacial silt buildup. This sediment is heavy and settles in p-traps and main lines, creating a thick sludge that significantly slows down your home's plumbing.

Aging Infrastructure in Historic Districts: Residents in older Anchorage neighborhoods like Spenard or Government Hill often deal with shifting foundations and aging orangeburg or cast iron pipes. These materials are prone to sagging or collapsing, leading to frequent backups that require expert diagnostic tools.

Kitchen Grease Buildup: During our long Alaska winters, we tend to cook more at home. Grease and fats poured down the sink solidify much faster in cold pipes, leading to stubborn 'fatbergs' that restrict water flow and cause foul odors throughout your kitchen area.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Anchorage

Before the first hard freeze in September, ensure all outdoor hose bibs are disconnected and drain lines are cleared of any standing water to prevent expansion damage.

During the spring 'breakup' season, keep a close eye on your basement floor drains. As snow melts rapidly, local sewer systems can face heavy loads, and a clear drain is your best defense against a backup.

Twice a year, flush your drains with a mixture of hot water and baking soda. This helps break down minor grease accumulations before they have a chance to harden during the extreme cold months.

If you have large trees on your property, schedule a professional rooter service in the fall. Roots are often seeking moisture more aggressively before the ground freezes, which can lead to sewer line intrusions.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Anchorage

$175-$625

Pricing in Anchorage reflects the high cost of living and specialized equipment needed for sub-arctic plumbing. Basic snaking starts lower, while hydro-jetting or emergency after-hours service will fall on the higher end.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Anchorage

How quickly can you find a plumber in Anchorage?

Because we actively call and verify availability before connecting you, we can often find a plumber who can be at your Anchorage home within 2 to 4 hours, depending on your specific zip code and current demand.

Why is my drain gurgling during the winter?

In Anchorage, this is often caused by a frozen vent stack on your roof. When the vent is blocked by ice, air can't escape, causing pressure changes that make your drains gurgle. Our verified plumbers can safely diagnose and clear these winter-specific issues.

Do you cover areas like Eagle River or JBER?

Yes! When you provide your zip code, we filter our network to include plumbers who specifically service the Greater Anchorage area, including Eagle River, Chugiak, and JBER.

Are the plumbers in your network licensed for Alaska's specific codes?

Absolutely. We only work with certified plumbers who understand Anchorage's local building codes and the unique plumbing requirements of our sub-arctic climate.

Is hydro-jetting safe for older Anchorage homes?

Hydro-jetting is highly effective, but for older homes in neighborhoods like Rogers Park, a verified plumber will first perform a camera inspection to ensure your pipes are structurally sound enough to handle the high-pressure water.
