Drain & sewer services. Drains that clear, and stay clear.
Clogged drains, main line backups, camera inspection, hydro jetting and sewer line repair from licensed Bear plumbers across Northwest Arkansas.
When a clog is more than a clog.
One slow sink is usually a local clog. These signs point further down the line. Pick the one you are seeing to start in the right place.
One slow sink or tub
Usually a local clog in that fixture’s trap or branch line.
Start here: Clogged drain clearing →More than one drain is slow
Several fixtures backing up at once usually means the main line, not a single trap.
Start here: Main line clearing →Gurgling or bubbling
Air pushing back through toilets or tubs when another fixture drains points to a blockage or venting problem.
Start here: Camera inspection →Sewage smell inside or in the yard
A cracked or separated sewer line can leak odor before it leaks water.
Start here: Sewer line repair →The same clog keeps coming back
Repeat clogs often mean roots, a sag in the line or buildup that a snake does not fully remove. A camera shows which.
Start here: Camera, then jetting →Water pooling in the yard after rain
Standing water near the foundation is a drainage problem, not a pipe problem, and it is worth fixing before it finds a way inside.
Start here: Exterior drainage →Clear it once. Then find out why.
A clog that comes back was never really fixed. Every drain call follows the same order, so the fix matches the problem.
Tell us what you see
Which fixtures are slow, what you hear and smell, and how long it has been happening. It narrows the problem before we arrive.
Clear the line
A mechanical clearing removes the clog itself. No chemical cleaners, which can damage older pipes and rarely clear the cause.
Look inside when it returns
When clogs keep coming back, the camera shows roots, breaks and sags so the fix matches the problem.
Fix what the camera found
Hydro jetting only when the line needs it, or a repair to the section that failed. You approve the price before work starts.

Drain & sewer questions, answered straight.
Should I use chemical drain cleaner?
It is better not to. Chemical cleaners can damage older pipes and rarely clear the cause, and they make the job riskier for whoever opens the line next. A mechanical clearing removes the clog itself.
When do I need a camera inspection?
When clogs keep coming back, more than one drain is slow, or you are buying a home with an older sewer line. The camera shows roots, breaks and sags so the fix matches the problem.
What is the difference between snaking and hydro jetting?
A snake punches through a clog. Hydro jetting scours the inside of the pipe with high-pressure water to remove grease, scale and roots along its length. We recommend jetting only when the line needs it.
Is a sewage backup an emergency?
Yes. Sewage carries bacteria and should not sit in the house. Keep people and pets away from it, stop using water and drains, and call so we can clear the line and clean up safely.
Will I know the price before you start?
Yes. A licensed plumber finds the problem and explains your options and pricing up front. You approve the price before work begins.
Do you also clean up after a backup?
Yes. Bear is also a restoration company. The same team that clears the line can clean, disinfect and repair what the backup touched.
