A kitchen sink that drains slow every few weeks, a tub that holds water, or a toilet that gurgles when the washer runs? Las Vegas Water Experts clears drains across Henderson, from single fixtures to the main sewer line. We’re a family owned and operated plumbing company based in Henderson. Owner Jason Miller leads our small team and brings 24+ years of plumbing experience. We’re licensed, bonded and insured, and we answer 24/7 at 702-577-5505.
Why Henderson Drains Clog
Henderson’s water is hard, about 22 grains per gallon typical. Over time, scale roughens the inside of drain pipe, and grease, soap scum and food stick to it. The opening narrows until one more dinner’s worth of grease closes it off. In older Green Valley yards, mature trees add another problem: roots work into joints in the main sewer line. Wipes labeled “flushable,” hair and too much toilet paper do the rest.
Chemical drain openers seem like an easy fix, but they can damage pipes and rarely clear the whole blockage. If a plunger doesn’t do it, it’s time to call.
One Drain or the Main Line?
If only one fixture is slow, the clog is usually in that fixture’s branch line. If several fixtures back up at once, or a toilet gurgles and water comes up in the tub or shower when you flush or run the washer, the problem is likely in the main line. Stop using water and call us, because a main-line clog can push sewage back into the house.
How We Clear It
Rooter (cable auger). A spinning cable cuts through the blockage and opens the line. It’s the right tool for a single clog in a sink, tub, toilet or the main line.
Hydro jetting. High-pressure water scours the full inside wall of the pipe and washes out grease, scale, sludge and roots instead of just punching a hole through them. For a line that keeps clogging, it’s usually the better fix. Our article on hydro jetting vs. snaking explains the difference, and our hydro jetting service page has more detail.
Camera inspection. When a drain keeps coming back, we put a camera down the line to see why: roots, a sag, a broken section, or heavy buildup. Then we fix the cause, not just the symptom, so you’re not calling us back again and again.
Sewer Lines and Roots
A main line that clogs over and over, especially in a yard with mature trees, often has roots or damage in the sewer lateral. We camera inspect first, then clear the line, and if the pipe itself is broken we explain the repair options. See sewer line cleaning and repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use a chemical drain cleaner first? We don’t recommend it. Harsh chemicals can damage pipes, and if they don’t clear the clog, you’re left with a sink full of caustic water. A plunger is fine to try. Past that, call us.
Snaking or hydro jetting: which do I need? Snaking (rooter) is right for a one-time clog. If the same line keeps clogging, or it’s grease or roots, hydro jetting cleans the pipe wall and usually lasts longer. A camera inspection tells us which one fits.
Several drains backed up at once. What does that mean? It usually points to the main line. Stop running water, including the dishwasher and washer, and call 702-577-5505.
Do you clear drains for businesses in Henderson? Yes. See our commercial plumbing page for grease lines and larger jobs.
