You’re not looking for a temporary fix. You need your main sewer line cleaning done properly so you’re not calling someone back in three months when the same problem returns.
That means more than just punching through a clog. It means removing buildup, scouring pipe walls clean, and identifying what caused the blockage in the first place—whether it’s grease, roots, or something structural.
McClellan Park sits in Sacramento County, where mature trees are everywhere. Those roots don’t care about your plumbing. They’ll find the smallest crack in your sewer pipe and turn a minor issue into a full backup. If your drains are slow, gurgling, or you’re smelling something off near your fixtures, roots are often the culprit. Hydro jetting clears them out completely, not just temporarily.
Murray Plumbing started with one truck and a commitment to doing the work right. More than 24 years later, we’re still family-owned, still local, and still showing up when McClellan Park homeowners need help with sewer problems.
We’re licensed, insured, and we don’t play games with pricing. You’ll know what the job costs before we start. No surprise charges after the fact.
McClellan Park has its own quirks—older infrastructure, tree-lined streets, homes built decades ago. We’ve worked in this area long enough to know what breaks, what clogs, and what actually fixes it for the long term.
First, we send a camera down your line. It’s a small waterproof camera that shows us exactly what’s happening inside your pipes—roots, grease buildup, cracks, collapses, whatever’s there. You’re not paying for guesswork.
Once we know what we’re dealing with, we explain it in plain terms. If it’s a clog, we clear it. If it’s roots, we cut them out and flush the line with high-pressure water. If there’s damage, we talk through your options—trenchless repair, spot fixes, or full replacement if that’s what’s needed.
Hydro jetting is our go-to for most sewer line cleaning in McClellan Park. It’s a high-pressure water system that blasts through clogs and scrubs the inside of your pipes clean. It’s more thorough than a snake, and it lasts longer because it removes the buildup that causes future problems.
After the work’s done, we can run the camera again so you see the difference. Then we clean up, answer your questions, and leave you with a system that works the way it should.

If multiple drains in your home are slow at the same time, that’s not a coincidence. That’s a main sewer line problem. Same thing if you flush the toilet and water backs up into your shower or sink. Those are signs you need sewer cleaning in McClellan Park, not just a quick drain snake.
Other red flags: gurgling sounds from your drains, sewage smells near your fixtures, or wet spots in your yard near the sewer line. Don’t wait until you have a full backup in your house. Catching it early saves you money and a mess.
Our sewer pipe cleaning service includes camera inspection, hydro jetting or mechanical cleaning depending on what’s needed, root removal if that’s the issue, and a clear explanation of what we found and what we did. If there’s damage beyond cleaning, we’ll walk you through repair options without pushing you into anything.
McClellan Park’s older homes often have clay or cast-iron sewer lines. Those materials crack over time, and tree roots love them. If your home was built before the 1980s, you’re more likely to deal with root intrusion. Regular inspections help you stay ahead of it instead of dealing with an emergency at the worst possible time.
If only one drain is slow—like your kitchen sink or bathroom tub—that’s usually a localized clog. A drain snake or basic cleaning can handle it.
But if multiple drains are backing up at the same time, or if you’re getting sewage smells throughout the house, that points to your main sewer line. That’s not something a snake fixes properly. You need a sewer line cleaner with camera inspection and hydro jetting to clear the whole system.
The camera tells us exactly where the problem is and what’s causing it. If it’s roots, grease, or a partial collapse, we’ll know before we start. That way, you’re not paying for a temporary patch that fails in a few weeks.
Tree roots are the biggest issue. McClellan Park has mature trees everywhere, and their roots naturally seek out water sources. Your sewer line is basically a water highway underground, and roots will find any small crack or loose joint to get inside.
Once they’re in, they grow fast. They catch toilet paper, grease, and other debris, which builds up and creates a clog. Eventually, you get a full blockage or a backup.
Grease buildup is another common cause, especially in kitchen lines. Even if you’re careful, small amounts of grease coat the inside of pipes over time. In older homes with cast-iron or clay pipes, corrosion and cracking also contribute. The pipes just wear out after decades of use, and that makes them more vulnerable to clogs and root intrusion.
It depends on what’s wrong. A straightforward clog with hydro jetting typically runs a few hundred dollars. If there’s significant root intrusion or damage that requires more extensive work, the cost goes up.
We don’t give you a price over the phone because we don’t know what we’re dealing with yet. Once we run the camera and see what’s happening in your line, we’ll give you an exact cost before we do anything. No surprises, no upselling.
If you need repairs beyond cleaning—like a trenchless pipe lining or a section replacement—we’ll explain your options and what each one costs. You decide what makes sense for your situation and your budget. We’re not here to push the most expensive option. We’re here to fix the problem in a way that lasts.
Most sewer cleaning jobs in McClellan Park take two to four hours, depending on the severity of the clog and how much buildup is in the line.
The camera inspection is quick—usually 20 to 30 minutes. Hydro jetting takes longer because we’re thoroughly cleaning the entire pipe, not just punching through a blockage. If there are roots, we may need to use a mechanical cutter first, then follow up with hydro jetting to clear everything out.
If we find damage that needs repair, that’s a separate conversation. We’ll walk you through timelines for trenchless repair or other options, but the cleaning itself is usually done in a few hours. You’ll have working drains the same day.
We can’t stop roots from growing, but we can remove them and make it harder for them to get back in.
Hydro jetting clears out existing roots and scours the pipe walls, which removes the rough edges and buildup that roots latch onto. That buys you time—usually a year or more, depending on how aggressive the root growth is in your yard.
If your pipes have cracks or gaps where roots are entering, trenchless pipe lining can seal those entry points without digging up your yard. It’s a resin liner that hardens inside your existing pipe, creating a smooth, seamless barrier that roots can’t penetrate. That’s a more permanent solution, but it’s also a bigger investment. We’ll show you what’s happening with the camera and let you decide what makes sense.
Yes. Sewer backups don’t wait for business hours, and we don’t either.
If you’re dealing with sewage backing up into your home, multiple drains overflowing, or a situation that can’t wait until morning, call us. We’ll get someone out as quickly as possible to assess the problem and get your system working again.
Emergency calls cost more than scheduled service—that’s standard across the industry. But we’re upfront about pricing, even in the middle of the night. You’ll know what you’re paying before we start, and we’ll focus on getting the immediate problem under control first. If there’s a bigger issue that needs attention later, we’ll talk through that once the emergency is handled.
