Drain Cleaning in San Diego

The three ways drains clog around here

North County drains fail for pretty consistent reasons. Diagnosing right beats guessing every time.

• Kitchen lines - grease, coffee grounds, and food solids build up in the 2" branch behind the sink. Bio-films from years of buildup make new clogs happen faster.
• Bathroom lines - hair and soap scum in the 1.5" trap arms and vertical stacks. Very common in homes with three or more bathrooms sharing a single stack.
• Main sewer - root intrusion through joints in older clay or cast-iron lines (a big issue in Rancho Bernardo and Poway homes from the 70s-80s), or bellied pipes where waste settles.

What we bring to the job

Cable augering (drain snake)

The right tool for most branch clogs - kitchen sinks, tubs, showers, bathroom sinks. We match the cable and cutter to the pipe size so we clear the blockage without gouging your line.

Hydro-jetting

4,000 PSI of water to scour the inside of the pipe back to bare metal or plastic. This is the right tool for grease-heavy kitchen lines, restaurant mains, and any drain that's clogging repeatedly. A snake cuts a hole through the clog; a jetter removes the whole coating.

Sewer camera inspection

Every serious drain call gets a camera go through it after the clog is cleared. You see the pipe on the screen with us. If there's an underlying issue - a root ball, a broken section, a belly - you'll know before we leave, and you'll know exactly where in the yard it is.

What it costs

Standard branch drain (sink, tub, shower): flat rate quoted at the door. Main line clearing: quoted after we confirm access to a cleanout. Hydro-jetting: quoted separately after we diagnose. You approve the number before we start - always.
