Services
Drain Cleaning
Our drain cleaning service removes blockages caused by hair, grease, and debris using professional augers and high-pressure water jetting. We handle kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, and commercial grease traps. This service restores proper flow and prevents recurring clogs for residential and business clients.
Sewer Repair
Sewer repair addresses backups and leaks in residential and commercial lines. We use video inspections to identify cracks, root intrusion, or collapsed pipes. Our technicians clear obstructions and repair damaged sections to prevent health hazards and property damage.
High-Pressure Water Jetting
High-pressure water jetting clears stubborn buildup in drains and sewer lines using 3000 PSI water streams. This method effectively removes grease, scale, and tree roots without damaging pipes. Its ideal for maintaining commercial plumbing systems and preventing future blockages.
Video Inspection
Video inspection uses specialized cameras to diagnose sewer line issues without excavation. We identify cracks, root intrusion, and clogs in real-time, allowing precise repairs. This non-invasive method saves time and reduces costs for homeowners and businesses.
Grease Trap Cleaning
Grease trap cleaning prevents clogs in restaurant and commercial kitchen plumbing. Our technicians remove accumulated grease, solids, and debris from traps and lines. Regular maintenance ensures compliance with local regulations and avoids costly backups in food service establishments.

They came out to our house today and removed the clog from our shower drain in 10 min. They did a great job and we're very happy with the service cause the clog was way too far in for me to get out myself even after removing the trap. We'll definitely keep them in mind for future jobs!

Awesome service!!! The first company I had called just never showed up. So I talked to viking sewer and drain cleaning. They came out when they said they would. Spencer was my technician, very professional and personable. He got the job done and my drain is working like a champ. Great pricing, definitely would recommend to friends and family.

Worst place to get very very very very expensive was at my house for about 1.5 hours said problem was fix. but 4 days later same problem was back. never made sure job was done right and charged me 355 dollars told me bill was 255 first then charged me 355. So i got DESS out of buffalo out was here for 1.5 hours only charged 120 dollars and made sure job was done right also walks you thru everything and lets you know what to do to keep fixed. Viking very very poor job ethics on follow thru on the job is done right.
