When your drains work properly, everything else falls into place. No more standing water in your shower while you’re trying to get ready for work. No more kitchen sinks that take ten minutes to empty after washing dishes. No more worrying about what’s building up in your pipes.
Professional drain cleaning removes the real problem—not just the symptoms. We clear years of grease buildup, hair clogs, and soap scum that’s been accumulating in your pipes. When we’re done, water flows the way it should.
You’ll notice the difference immediately. Water drains quickly and completely, unpleasant odors disappear, and you can trust your plumbing to work when you need it most.
We’ve been solving drain problems in Grizzly Flats and El Dorado County for over 24 years. We understand the specific challenges that come with this area—aggressive tree roots that invade sewer lines, older homes with unique plumbing configurations, and rural properties that need specialized expertise.
Being family-owned and locally operated means we keep our overhead low and our prices fair. We’re not trying to build a plumbing empire. We’re trying to be the plumber our neighbors can count on when they need help most.
Our 5-star reputation with over 90 local reviews didn’t happen by accident. It happened because we show up when we say we will, fix problems completely the first time, and charge exactly what we quote—often less.
First, we diagnose the actual problem using camera inspection technology. You’ll see exactly what’s blocking your drain—grease buildup, tree roots, hair clogs, or something else entirely. This eliminates guesswork and prevents unnecessary work.
Next, we choose the right method for your specific situation. Sometimes professional drain snaking clears the clog effectively. Other times, hydro-jetting is needed to blast away years of accumulated debris and restore full flow.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly before we leave. We run water, check drainage speed, and make sure the problem is completely resolved. You’ll know immediately that your drains are working the way they should.

Every drain cleaning service includes professional camera inspection so you can see exactly what was causing the problem. We document everything and explain our findings in plain English, not plumber jargon.
We handle every type of drain issue—kitchen sinks clogged with grease, bathroom drains blocked by hair and soap scum, main sewer lines invaded by tree roots, and floor drains that haven’t been maintained in years. Our hydro-jetting equipment removes buildup that’s been accumulating for decades.
Grizzly Flats presents unique challenges that require local expertise. The mature trees throughout the area create aggressive root intrusion problems, and many homes have older plumbing systems that need specialized care. After 24 years in El Dorado County, we know exactly how to handle these specific conditions effectively and affordably.
Basic drain cleaning typically starts around $150, but the exact cost depends on what’s causing the blockage and which method we need to use. Simple kitchen sink clogs cost less than main sewer line problems requiring hydro-jetting.
We provide free estimates before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees, and no pressure to approve unnecessary services. Many customers find their final bill is actually less than our initial estimate.
As a local, family-owned business with low overhead, we keep our prices fair while maintaining the quality service that’s earned us a 5-star reputation in the community.
Drain snaking uses a flexible cable to break through clogs and remove debris. It’s effective for most common blockages like hair, food scraps, and small root intrusions. Think of it as targeted clog removal.
Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean pipe walls, removing not just the clog but years of buildup. It’s like power washing the inside of your plumbing system and provides longer-lasting results.
For Grizzly Flats homes, we often recommend hydro-jetting for main sewer lines because it handles tree root problems more effectively. We’ll inspect your pipes first and recommend the method that makes the most sense for your situation and budget.
Most homes benefit from professional drain cleaning every 18-24 months, but it depends on your household’s usage and your home’s age. Families with long hair or homes with older pipes might need service more frequently.
If you’re experiencing recurring slow drains, frequent clogs, or gurgling sounds, it’s time for professional cleaning regardless of your last service date. These signs indicate buildup that will only worsen without intervention.
In Grizzly Flats, homes with large trees often need main sewer line cleaning more frequently due to root intrusion. We can establish a maintenance schedule that prevents emergency situations and keeps your drains flowing smoothly year-round.
Yes, we clear completely blocked drains in most cases. Even when water won’t go down at all, our professional equipment usually restores full flow within a few hours.
We start with camera inspection to identify exactly what’s causing the complete blockage—massive grease clogs, tree roots, or foreign objects. Then we select the most effective clearing method.
For severe blockages, hydro-jetting can blast through years of accumulated debris. In rare cases, we might need alternative access points, but in 24+ years of service, we’ve successfully cleared the vast majority of blocked drains without expensive excavation.
Absolutely. We offer 24/7 emergency drain cleaning because drain problems don’t wait for convenient times. Whether it’s a backed-up main sewer line Sunday morning or a completely blocked kitchen sink during dinner prep, we’re available.
Emergency calls are prioritized by severity, and we typically arrive within a few hours. Our trucks stay fully stocked with professional equipment so we can handle most emergency clogs on the first visit.
Our emergency rates are fair and transparent—we don’t inflate prices for after-hours or weekend service. When you’re facing sewage backup or water damage risks, fast response matters, and we deliver without price gouging.
The most common culprits are grease and food scraps in kitchen drains, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, and tree roots in main sewer lines. Many people don’t realize that even small amounts of grease solidify in pipes and trap other debris over time.
In Grizzly Flats specifically, we see frequent root intrusion problems due to the mature trees throughout the area. Tree roots seek moisture and nutrients, exploiting even tiny cracks in sewer lines and expanding them over time.
Your home’s plumbing age also matters. Older pipes have rougher surfaces where debris catches and accumulates, while newer smooth pipes stay cleaner longer. Regular professional cleaning removes buildup before it becomes a major blockage, preventing emergency situations and expensive repairs.
