Object Removal

Ready to Remove What Other Tools Can't Touch?

Extract stubborn obstructions with Absolute Drain Service's specialized air-hydraulic grabber tool technology. At Absolute, we understand that not all drain problems are caused by buildup or roots—sometimes solid objects become lodged in your pipes, creating blockages that can't be snaked through, flushed away, or broken apart. It's not just about clearing flow around the obstruction; it's about physically gripping and removing the object entirely, restoring your pipe to its original unobstructed condition. Our professional-grade hydraulic grabber gives us capabilities that most drain companies simply don't have.

Specialized Object Removal Services

We begin with camera inspection to identify exactly what's blocking your line and where it's located. This visual examination shows us the size, shape, and position of the obstruction, allowing us to determine whether our grabber tool is the appropriate solution and which attachment will work best for your specific situation. This diagnostic precision ensures we approach removal with the right equipment and technique from the start. Understanding hydraulic grabber technology explains why it succeeds where other methods fail. Traditional drain snakes push past solid objects or attempt to break them apart—ineffective when dealing with toys, tools, bottles, or structural debris. Hydro-jetting clears buildup but can't remove solid items. Our air-hydraulic grabber operates on an entirely different principle: it uses compressed air to power hydraulic mechanisms that create powerful gripping force. We insert the grabber into your line, maneuver it into position around the obstruction using camera guidance, activate the hydraulic grip to firmly clamp onto the object, then carefully extract the entire item back through your pipe and out of your system. What seemed impossible to remove becomes a solved problem. The variety of objects we've successfully extracted demonstrates the grabber's versatility. Our hydraulic tool removes toys, bottles, and items accidentally flushed by children, construction debris including rags, tools, and materials dropped during renovations, collapsed or broken pipe sections that have fallen into the line, large root masses too solid for cutting or jetting alone, metal objects like utensils, jewelry, or hardware, rocks, concrete chunks, or other solid materials, and essentially anything solid that's become lodged and won't flush through your system. If it's in your pipe and shouldn't be, we have the tool to grip it and extract it. With Absolute, the removal process is methodical and effective. After camera inspection confirms what we're dealing with, we select the appropriate grabber attachment—different jaw configurations work better for different object shapes and materials. We carefully insert the tool through your cleanout or access point, navigate it to the obstruction location using real-time camera monitoring, position the jaws around or through the object for secure grip, activate the hydraulic pressure to lock firmly onto it, and slowly withdraw the entire assembly, bringing the obstruction out with it. The entire process happens through existing access points in most cases—no excavation, no pipe cutting, no landscape destruction. Protect your property and budget through specialized extraction capabilities. Our hydraulic grabber tool eliminates the need for excavation that typically costs $2,000-$5,000 or more, prevents pipe cutting and replacement required when objects can't be removed other ways, saves your landscaping from the destruction that comes with digging to access pipes, solves problems in hours instead of days of disruptive excavation work, and provides a solution for situations where other drain companies would tell you excavation is your only option. We invested in this specialized equipment specifically to give our customers better alternatives than tearing up their property.
