Our Drain Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we assess what’s actually causing the blockage. Not all clogs are the same, and the wrong approach can make things worse or damage your pipes.

We use professional-grade equipment designed for the specific problem we’re dealing with. For most clogs, our drain snakes and hydro-jetting equipment clear the line completely. For root intrusions or more complex issues, we have specialized tools that handle those situations properly.

After we clear the drain, we test the flow and check for any underlying issues that might cause problems later. You’ll know exactly what we found, what we fixed, and what to watch for going forward. No surprises, no guesswork.

How much does professional drain cleaning cost in Foresthill?

Drain cleaning costs depend on the location and severity of the clog, but most standard drain cleaning services in Foresthill range from $150 to $350. Simple clogs in bathroom sinks or tubs are typically on the lower end, while main line blockages or root intrusions cost more due to the specialized equipment required. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know the exact cost before we begin. Emergency or after-hours service may include additional fees, but we’ll discuss all costs clearly when you call.
Recurring clogs usually mean the drain wasn’t completely cleared the first time, or there’s an underlying issue causing the problem. In Foresthill homes, we often see recurring clogs caused by mineral buildup from hard water, tree roots growing into sewer lines, or partial blockages that weren’t fully removed. Hair, grease, and soap buildup can also create ongoing problems if not properly addressed. When we clean your drains, we make sure to remove the entire blockage and identify any issues that might cause future problems, which is why our cleaning lasts longer than temporary fixes.
Yes, we handle completely blocked drains with standing water regularly. These situations require different equipment and techniques than partial clogs, but they’re definitely fixable. For severe blockages, we typically use professional drain snakes or hydro-jetting equipment that can break through complete obstructions. The standing water actually helps us in some cases because it shows us exactly where the blockage is located. We’ll assess the situation first to determine the best approach, whether that’s mechanical cleaning, hydro-jetting, or other specialized techniques depending on what’s causing the complete blockage.
Most standard drain cleaning jobs take between 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the location and severity of the clog. Simple bathroom sink or tub clogs often clear within 30-45 minutes. Kitchen drains with grease buildup might take an hour or more. Main line blockages or root intrusions can take 2-3 hours because they require more specialized equipment and thorough cleaning. We’ll give you a time estimate when we assess the problem, and we work efficiently to get your drains flowing properly as quickly as possible without rushing the job.
Yes, we provide emergency drain cleaning services for urgent situations like sewage backups, completely blocked main lines, or situations where water damage is a concern. Emergency service is available evenings, weekends, and holidays, though emergency calls do include additional fees for after-hours response. We prioritize emergency calls because we understand that some drain problems can’t wait until regular business hours. If you’re dealing with sewage backup, multiple drains backing up at once, or any situation where water is overflowing, call us immediately for emergency service.
Professional drain cleaning, when done correctly, won’t damage your pipes. We assess the condition and material of your pipes before choosing the right cleaning method. For older homes in Foresthill with cast iron or clay pipes, we use gentler techniques that effectively clear clogs without putting stress on aging pipe materials. Hydro-jetting, for example, might not be appropriate for very old or fragile pipes, so we’d use mechanical snaking instead. Store-bought chemical drain cleaners are actually more likely to damage older pipes than professional cleaning methods. We’ll explain our approach and make sure you’re comfortable with the method we’re using.
