When your drain clogs, everything slows down—dishes pile up, showers back up, and toilets stop flushing like they should. At Godby Heating Plumbing Electrical, we know that a clog is never just a clog. It’s a signal your plumbing system needs attention. That’s why homeowners in Indianapolis, Carmel, Avon, Zionsville, and surrounding areas count on us for fast, effective drain cleaning and long-term solutions that work.
Stop Waiting Until It’s an Emergency
A slow drain today turns into a full-blown backup tomorrow. Most clogs don’t show up overnight. They build slowly—hair, grease, soap scum, and debris collecting over time until water has nowhere to go. Routine drain maintenance catches these problems early, so you don’t end up with a mess.

Our techs don’t just clear clogs—they figure out what’s causing them. Whether it’s tree roots in your main line or buildup in your bathroom sink, we find the source and fix it right.

Need something more serious than a clog fix? We also handle leak detection and pipe repairs.

Tips to Keep Your Drains Flowing

1.
Don’t use chemical drain cleaners:
They can damage pipes over time.
2.
Use drain screens:
Catch hair and food scraps before they enter the system.
3.
Run hot water after each use:
Keeps grease and soap from building up.
4.
Be careful what you flush:
Only toilet paper should go down the toilet—no wipes, no floss, no “flushables.”
5.
Get annual inspections:
Especially if you’ve had problems in the past.
FAQ: Drain Cleaning in Indianapolis
How do I know if I have a clogged drain?+
Common signs include gurgling sounds coming from the drain, water draining slower than usual, foul smells rising from the sink or tub, and water backing up instead of going down. Multiple slow drains at once often points to a bigger issue further down the line rather than a simple local clog, and is worth having checked sooner rather than later.
Can I use store-bought drain cleaners?+
We don't recommend it. Chemical drain cleaners can damage pipes over time, especially older galvanized or PVC lines, and they often only clear part of a clog rather than the full blockage. They can also make it harder and more hazardous for a plumber to safely clear the drain afterward if the chemicals are still sitting in the line.
What causes recurring drain clogs?+
Recurring clogs usually point to a deeper issue than everyday buildup, like tree root intrusion in the main line, a partial pipe collapse, or a persistent grease buildup further down the system than a standard cleaning reaches. A camera inspection lets us see exactly what's happening inside the pipe so we can identify the real cause instead of just treating symptoms.
Is drain cleaning a messy process?+
Not with Godby. Our technicians use protective gear and proper equipment to clear clogs cleanly, and we clean up thoroughly before we leave. Depending on the severity of the clog, we may need to access a cleanout point outside or under a sink, but the process itself is far less disruptive than most homeowners expect going into the appointment.
Do you offer emergency drain and sewage backup service?+
Yes. If you're dealing with a sewage backup, treat it as an emergency and don't wait it out. Call us at 317-471-8700 and we'll get a technician to you fast. The sooner we can assess the line, the better chance we have of clearing it before wastewater spreads and causes damage to flooring, drywall, or belongings inside your home.
How much does drain cleaning cost?+
Cost depends on the location and severity of the clog. A standard sink or tub drain clearing is typically less involved than a main line clog requiring camera inspection or hydro jetting. Recurring clogs that need root cutting or pipe repair cost more than a routine cleaning. Godby diagnoses the clog first and provides a clear price before starting work.
