Lotus CA Drain Experts

We've Been Here 24 Years

We’ve been handling drain problems throughout the Sacramento area since 2009. We’re the family-owned company that Lotus residents call when their drains stop working.

We know what causes problems here. Sacramento’s “City of Trees” environment means tree roots constantly seek out the water in your pipes. We’ve cleared thousands of root-clogged drains and know exactly how to handle them.

Our 5-star reputation comes from doing what we say we’ll do. The price we quote for drain cleaning is the price you pay – no diagnostic fees, no surprises after we’re done.

Drain Cleaning Process Lotus

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we inspect your drain to understand what’s causing the blockage. We use sewer cameras when needed to see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes – no guessing.

Then we choose the right tool for your specific problem. Sometimes it’s a drain snake for hair and soap buildup. Sometimes it’s hydro jetting for grease or root infiltration. We match the method to your actual situation.

Finally, we test everything to make sure water flows properly. We clean up our work area and explain what we found. If there’s a bigger issue, we’ll tell you about it – but we won’t pressure you into anything you don’t need right now.

Lotus Drain Cleaning Services

What's Included In Our Service

Every drain cleaning service includes a thorough inspection, professional cleaning, and testing to ensure proper flow. We handle kitchen drains clogged with grease and food particles, bathroom drains blocked by hair and soap scum, and main sewer lines affected by tree roots.

In Lotus and the greater Sacramento area, we see specific challenges. The mature tree canopy that makes this area beautiful also creates ongoing issues with root infiltration. Clay pipes common in older Sacramento homes are particularly susceptible to root damage.

We bring professional-grade equipment including drain snakes, hydro jetting systems, and sewer cameras. Our trucks are stocked with the tools needed to handle whatever we find – from simple clogs to complex blockages requiring specialized techniques.

How much does drain cleaning cost in Lotus, CA?

Our drain cleaning prices are quoted upfront with no hidden fees or surprise charges. The price we give you is exactly what you’ll pay – no diagnostic fees added later. Most basic drain cleaning jobs range from $150-$300, depending on the location and severity of the blockage. More complex issues like main sewer line cleaning or hydro jetting typically run $300-$600. We offer a 15% discount for new customers, and we always provide free estimates. Unlike some companies that charge just to look at your problem, we’ll assess your situation and give you a firm price before any work begins.

What causes drains to clog in the Sacramento area?

The most common culprits are hair, grease, soap scum, and food particles that build up over time. In bathroom drains, hair combines with soap residue to create stubborn blockages that trap everything else. Kitchen drains typically clog from grease and food waste. Even small amounts of cooking oil solidify in pipes and catch other debris. Coffee grounds, eggshells, and starchy foods like pasta make the problem worse. Sacramento’s mature trees create a unique challenge – root infiltration. Tree roots naturally seek out water sources and can penetrate even small cracks in sewer pipes. Once inside, they grow rapidly and create major blockages that require professional removal.

How quickly can you respond to drain emergencies?

We offer same-day service for most drain emergencies and are available 24/7 for urgent situations. When your main sewer line backs up or multiple drains stop working, we understand that’s not something you can wait until Monday to fix. Most service calls are scheduled within 2-4 hours of your call, depending on our current schedule and the severity of your situation. True emergencies – like sewage backing up into your home – get priority response. We keep our trucks fully stocked and our technicians ready to handle whatever we encounter. No waiting for parts or making multiple trips. We come prepared to solve your drain problem on the first visit.

Do you guarantee your drain cleaning work?

Yes, we stand behind our drain cleaning work with a service guarantee. If the same blockage returns within our warranty period, we’ll come back and fix it at no additional charge. Our guarantee covers the specific drain we cleaned and the method we used. For example, if we snake your bathroom drain and the same hair clog returns within 30 days, that’s covered. However, new blockages from different causes aren’t covered under the original service. We also guarantee our pricing – the quote we give you is final. No surprise charges, no additional fees for “unforeseen complications.” The price we agree on is what you pay, period.

Should I try to unclog drains myself first?

Simple clogs near the drain opening can often be cleared with a plunger or basic drain snake from the hardware store. Remove visible hair or debris, try plunging, and see if that restores flow. However, avoid chemical drain cleaners. They’re harsh on your pipes, especially older systems, and rarely solve the underlying problem. They can also create dangerous situations if mixed with other chemicals or if you need professional help later. If plunging doesn’t work, or if multiple drains are affected, call us. Trying to force more aggressive solutions can damage your pipes and turn a simple cleaning into an expensive repair. We’ve seen too many DIY attempts that made the original problem much worse.

What's the difference between drain snaking and hydro jetting?

Drain snaking uses a flexible cable with cutting attachments to break through blockages and pull out debris. It’s effective for most common clogs like hair, soap buildup, and small root intrusions. The snake physically breaks up the blockage and allows water to flow again. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean the inside of your pipes. It removes buildup from pipe walls, cuts through grease, and can handle tougher blockages like extensive root systems. It’s more thorough but also more expensive. We choose the method based on your specific situation. Simple clogs usually just need snaking. Recurring problems, grease buildup, or root infiltration often require hydro jetting for a complete, long-lasting solution.
