Drain Cleaning
Sinks, tubs and laundry drains in Linn Creek's oldest houses often run through narrowed cast iron or galvanized pipe. We open the clog, then tell you whether the pipe itself is the cause.

Old Pipe, New Pipe and Septic
in Linn Creek Homes
Linn Creek is a city of 216 people (2020 Census) whose houses span close to a century, so the pipe under one home can be very different from the pipe next door. The original town was inundated in 1930 when Bagnell Dam impounded the Lake of the Ozarks, according to the University of Missouri Extension history of Camden County courthouses. The Census Bureau’s 2019 to 2023 American Community Survey estimates that roughly a quarter of Linn Creek homes were built in 1939 or earlier, and puts the median build year at 1977.
That mix decides how we work. Houses from the 1930s and 1940s commonly drain through cast iron or clay pipe. Cast iron scales and narrows from the inside, and clay joints let roots in. Homes built from the 1970s on are more likely to have plastic drain lines, where the usual trouble is grease, wipes or a low spot in the yard. A camera inspection shows which problem you have before we recommend cleaning, hydro jetting or a repair, trenchless where the pipe allows.
Not every Linn Creek address drains the same way. The city runs its own water and sewer utility, and its application for new water and sewer service records whether each account includes sewer. A property without a city sewer connection relies on an on-site septic system. Our Kaiser branch pumps out and repairs septic tanks as well as clearing sewer laterals, so one call covers either setup.
Cold weather adds its own calls. In its December 2025 newsletter, the city’s Public Works department reminded residents to disconnect garden hoses from outside faucets. A hose left attached holds water in the faucet, where it can freeze and crack the pipe behind the wall.
Restaurants and shops along Highway 54 push kitchen and floor drains hard. We jet those lines to scour grease off the pipe walls before it hardens into a blockage.
Owner Jarod Smith started Clog Busters in 2020, and our Lake of the Ozarks branch in Kaiser serves Camden, Miller and Morgan counties, including Camdenton, Osage Beach and Lake Ozark. Book a Linn Creek drain, sewer or septic visit online.
