The Right Tool for the Blockage
Not every clog needs the same fix. Hair and soap in a tub drain, grease in a kitchen line, roots in a main sewer, sand in a coastal drain line. LCI matches the method to the problem: cabling for simple obstructions, hydro jetting for buildup, and camera inspection when a clog keeps coming back.
We protect your fixtures and clean up when we are done.
Common Drain Problems in Jupiter Beach
Older homes near the beach often have cast iron drain lines that scale and narrow over time. Rental and seasonal properties see clogs from heavy holiday use. Landscaping roots intrude on main lines. Each one shows up differently, and each has a lasting fix.
When Drain Cleaning Is Not Enough
If several drains slow at once, or a clog returns within weeks, the problem is usually in the main line. We recommend a camera inspection before anyone recommends digging.
How hydro jetting works
Snaking vs. hydro jetting
Jetting is like power washing a pipe from the inside. A cable punches a path through a clog. Jetting removes the buildup that caused it.
Side view and cross-section
- How it works
- A rotating cable bores a hole through the clog.
- What is left behind
- Grease and scale stay on the walls, so the line narrows again.
- Best for
- A simple, one-time obstruction.
- How it works
- High-pressure water scours the full pipe wall.
- What is left behind
- Buildup is flushed down the line, so the pipe runs close to its original size.
- Best for
- Grease, scale, sand, roots and clogs that keep coming back.
The process
How we jet a line
- 01
Camera the line
We inspect first to confirm the pipe can take jetting and see what is in it.
- 02
Match the pressure
Pressure and nozzle are set for the pipe material and condition.
- 03
Cut and scour
Forward jets break up the blockage. Rear jets scour grease, scale, sand and roots off the walls.
- 04
Flush it out
The water carries the debris down the line and out of the system.
- 05
Confirm the flow
We check that the line drains freely before we leave.
FAQ
Drain Cleaning: common questions
Should I use a chemical drain cleaner first?
We recommend against it. Chemicals damage older pipes and rarely remove the full obstruction. A professional cleaning solves the problem without harming the line.
Why does the same drain keep clogging?
Repeat clogs usually mean buildup or damage further down the line. A camera inspection shows the cause so it can be fixed once.
Do you clean drains on weekends?
Yes. Drain stoppages are among our most common emergency calls and dispatch is live 24/7.

Bad timing. I called LCI plumbing and Heather was very helpful and spent time listening to my failed diy attempts. It seemed like the blockage was farther back than I could get to. Pro help was needed. She sent Chris out and sure enough, the blockage was way farther than expected. Chris and his assistant did a wonderful job and I can enjoy my weekend. Thank you all for being easy to deal with and for the helpful suggestions moving forward. It was a pleasure to do business with you. I hope not to need a plumber anytime soon, but when I do, I will certainly call you! Thanks again.

When our toilet became clogged despite our best efforts to resolve the issue ourselves, we contacted LCI Plumbing. They were prompt and sent out technicians, Hunter and Jaden, the following morning. They were accommodating regarding pricing and offered discounts where possible. Ultimately, they successfully unclogged our severely blocked toilet. Furthermore, they took the time to clean and mop up any water and debris that had entered our home, demonstrating their professionalism and respect. I was very impressed with their service.
They were great! Called this morning, gave us a time and came and repaired our clogged toilet so fast! Thank you so much :)
