Professional Drain Unclog Service

Here's How We Clear Your Drains

First, we inspect your drain to see what’s causing the blockage. Sometimes it’s hair and soap buildup, sometimes it’s grease, and sometimes tree roots have gotten into your sewer line. Different problems need different solutions.

For most clogs, we use professional drain snakes or hydro-jetting equipment. These tools clear blockages completely instead of just poking a hole through them like store-bought drain cleaners do.

We test the drain afterward to make sure water flows properly and check for any signs of bigger problems. If we find something that needs attention, we’ll explain it clearly and give you options for fixing it.

What's Included in Our Service

Every drain cleaning service includes a thorough inspection to identify the root cause of your blockage. We clear the clog completely using professional-grade equipment, not the basic tools that only create temporary fixes.

We handle kitchen sink drains clogged with grease and food particles, bathroom drains blocked by hair and soap scum, and bathtub drains that won’t let water through. Our equipment works on everything from minor slowdowns to complete blockages.

You get upfront pricing before we start work and a clear explanation of what we found. If your drain problem is part of a bigger issue with your plumbing system, we’ll walk you through your options without any pressure tactics.

How much does professional drain cleaning cost in Rio Linda?

Most standard drain cleaning jobs in Rio Linda run between $150-300, depending on the severity of the blockage and which drain needs service. Kitchen drains with heavy grease buildup typically cost more than bathroom sink clogs because they require more intensive cleaning. We always give you the exact price before starting any work, so you know what you’re paying upfront. Emergency calls outside normal business hours may include additional fees, but we’ll explain all costs when you call.
Recurring clogs usually mean the drain wasn’t completely cleared the first time, or there’s an underlying problem like damaged pipes or improper slope. Hair, soap residue, and grease build up gradually in your pipes, and if only the surface blockage gets removed, the buildup underneath keeps catching new debris. Tree roots growing into sewer lines can also cause repeated backups. We use cameras to inspect your pipes when needed, so we can identify and fix the real problem instead of just treating symptoms.
Yes, drain odors usually come from bacteria growing in buildup along your pipe walls, even when water still flows through. This is especially common in bathroom drains where soap scum and hair create perfect conditions for bacteria. Our hydro-jetting service removes this buildup completely, eliminating the source of the smell. We can also check your P-trap and vent system, since problems with these components can cause sewer gases to enter your home through drains.
Most standard drain cleaning takes 30-60 minutes per drain, depending on the severity of the blockage and the cleaning method required. Simple clogs clear quickly with our drain snakes, while heavy buildup might need hydro-jetting, which takes longer but provides more thorough cleaning. If we need to use a camera to inspect your pipes or access your cleanout, add another 15-30 minutes. We work efficiently but won’t rush through the job and leave you with the same problem next week.
Yes, we provide same-day service for most drain cleaning calls in Rio Linda, especially for urgent situations like completely blocked drains or sewage backups. We keep our schedule flexible because we know drain problems don’t wait for convenient times. Call us in the morning and we can usually get to your house that afternoon. Emergency situations get priority scheduling, and we’ll give you a realistic timeframe when you call so you can plan accordingly.
Chemical drain cleaners rarely solve the real problem and can actually damage your pipes, especially if you have older plumbing like many Rio Linda homes. These products might dissolve some hair or soap scum on the surface, but they don’t remove the buildup coating your pipe walls. Repeated use can corrode metal pipes and damage rubber seals. If you’ve already used chemical cleaners, tell us when you call so we know what we’re working with. Professional cleaning removes blockages completely without risking damage to your plumbing system.
