Our Drain Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we assess your specific drain problem. No guesswork. We use video inspection when needed to see exactly what’s causing the blockage and where it’s located in your pipes.

Next, we choose the right cleaning method for your situation. Sometimes it’s hydro jetting to blast away years of buildup. Other times it’s mechanical cleaning with professional-grade augers. We match the technique to your pipes and the type of clog you’re dealing with.

After we clear the blockage, we test the drain thoroughly to make sure water flows properly. We also check for any underlying issues that might cause problems later. You’ll know exactly what we found and what we did to fix it before we pack up our equipment.

How much does professional drain cleaning cost in North Highlands?

Drain cleaning costs depend on the severity of the blockage and which drains are affected. Simple sink or bathtub drain cleaning typically runs $150-250, while main sewer line cleaning can range from $300-500. We provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation, so you’ll know the exact cost before we start any work. No hidden fees or surprise charges for equipment or additional time.
Most single drain clogs take 30-60 minutes to clear completely. More complex blockages in main lines or multiple drains can take 1-2 hours. We don’t rush the job just to get to the next call. We take the time needed to clear the blockage thoroughly and test the drain to make sure it’s working properly. Same-day service is available for most drain cleaning needs in North Highlands.
Professional drain cleaning is safe for older pipes when done correctly. We adjust our methods based on your pipe material and age. For older North Highlands homes with cast iron or clay pipes, we use gentler techniques that clear blockages without damaging the pipe walls. We avoid harsh chemicals that can corrode older plumbing and use mechanical cleaning methods designed for your specific pipe type.
Recurring clogs usually mean the original blockage wasn’t completely removed or there’s an underlying issue like pipe damage or improper slope. Tree roots, grease buildup, or collapsed pipe sections can cause drains to clog repeatedly. We use video inspection to identify the root cause and recommend permanent solutions. Sometimes it’s as simple as changing habits, other times it requires pipe repair or replacement.
Yes, drain odors are often caused by organic buildup, grease, or bacteria growing in your pipes. Our cleaning process removes the source of these odors, not just the blockage. We use techniques that scrub the pipe walls clean and eliminate the buildup causing the smell. For persistent odor issues, we can also identify if there are venting problems or other plumbing issues contributing to the problem.
We provide emergency drain cleaning for urgent situations like main sewer backups, multiple drain blockages, or situations affecting your ability to use essential plumbing. Emergency service is available evenings and weekends for North Highlands residents. Keep in mind that emergency calls do carry additional charges due to after-hours response, but we’ll always discuss pricing before dispatching a technician to your location.
