Your Drains Working Like New

You know the frustration. Water backing up in your kitchen sink right when you’re trying to clean up after dinner. Your shower turning into a bathtub because the drain won’t keep up. That bathroom sink that’s been getting slower and slower, no matter how much drain cleaner you pour down it.

Here’s what changes when your drains actually work right. Morning routines happen on schedule. You can run the dishwasher without worrying about overflow. Your guests don’t have to deal with standing water in the bathroom.

The difference isn’t just convenience – it’s peace of mind. When we clear your drains, we’re not just pushing the clog further down the pipe. We’re removing it completely, cleaning the pipe walls, and making sure water flows the way it should.

We Know These Pipes

CG Plumbing has been handling drain problems in Rancho Murieta for years. We understand what happens to plumbing systems in this area – the tree roots that find their way into sewer lines, the mineral buildup from our hard water, the way older pipes develop problems over time.

You’re not getting a generic franchise approach. You’re getting plumbers who’ve worked on houses just like yours, who know which solutions actually last, and who show up when we say we will.

We’re licensed, insured, and local. That means something when you need reliable service.

Our Drain Cleaning Process

How We Clear Your Drains

First, we assess what’s actually causing the problem. Sometimes it’s obvious – a complete blockage that’s backing up water. Other times it’s more subtle, like a partial clog that’s making drains run slow. We use video inspection when needed to see exactly what we’re dealing with.

Next, we choose the right tool for the job. Cable machines for most clogs. Hydro-jetting for grease buildup or stubborn blockages. The goal is removing the entire clog, not just poking a hole through it.

Finally, we test everything to make sure water flows properly. We clean up completely and explain what we found, what we did, and how to keep your drains running smoothly. You’ll know the job was done right because your drains will work like they should.

How much does professional drain cleaning cost in Rancho Murieta?

Drain cleaning typically costs between $150-$400 depending on the severity and location of the clog. Simple sink or tub clogs are usually on the lower end, while main sewer line blockages or jobs requiring hydro-jetting cost more. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. The investment is worth it when you consider that professional cleaning lasts much longer than store-bought drain cleaners and prevents damage that could require expensive pipe repairs.
Recurring clogs usually mean the original blockage wasn’t completely removed – just partially cleared so water could flow temporarily. Store-bought drain cleaners often dissolve part of a clog but leave residue that catches new debris. Tree roots, mineral buildup, or damaged pipes can also cause repeated problems. Professional drain cleaning removes the entire blockage and identifies underlying issues. We use video inspection when needed to find problems like root intrusion or pipe damage that cause clogs to return.
Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean pipe walls, removing grease, mineral buildup, and debris that cable machines might leave behind. It’s excellent for recurring clogs, grease-blocked kitchen drains, and preventive maintenance. However, it’s not always necessary – simple clogs often clear perfectly with cable machines at lower cost. We recommend the right method based on your specific situation. Older or damaged pipes might not be suitable for hydro-jetting, which is why proper assessment matters before choosing a cleaning method.
Most drain cleaning jobs take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the clog’s location and severity. Simple sink or tub clogs usually clear within 30-45 minutes. Main sewer line blockages or jobs requiring video inspection take longer. We’ll give you a time estimate when we assess the problem. Emergency situations get priority scheduling – we understand that backed-up drains can’t wait. The time investment is worth it because professional cleaning lasts much longer than quick fixes.
Yes, but it requires the right approach and experience with older plumbing systems. Many Rancho Murieta homes have older pipes that need careful handling. We adjust our methods based on pipe material and condition – using appropriate cable sizes, proper pressure settings, and avoiding aggressive techniques that could damage weakened pipes. Video inspection helps us see pipe condition before choosing cleaning methods. Our experience with local homes means we understand how to clean drains effectively while protecting your plumbing system.
Yes, we provide emergency drain cleaning for urgent situations like sewage backups, completely blocked main lines, or multiple drains backing up simultaneously. These problems can’t wait for regular business hours. We respond quickly to minimize damage and restore your plumbing function. Emergency service rates apply for after-hours calls, but we’re transparent about pricing before starting work. Not every slow drain is an emergency, but when you have a true plumbing crisis, we’re available to help resolve it promptly.
