You shouldn’t have to deal with slow drains, recurring clogs, or that awful smell coming from your kitchen sink. Professional drain cleaning gets your water flowing freely again and keeps it that way.
When your drains work properly, your morning routine runs smoothly. No standing water in the shower, no backup in the kitchen sink, and no worrying about what’s building up in your pipes. That’s what proper drain maintenance delivers.
Clean drains also mean fewer emergency calls, lower repair bills, and peace of mind knowing your plumbing system is actually working for you instead of against you.
Murray Plumbing has built a reputation in College/Glen for showing up on time, doing the work right, and charging exactly what we quote. With a 4.7-star Google rating from 93 customers, we’ve earned trust through consistent, professional service.
We understand that drain problems never happen at convenient times. That’s why we offer 24/7 emergency service and typically arrive within an hour of your call.
College/Glen homes, especially those built in the 1950s through 1970s, often deal with aging copper pipes and tree root intrusion from mature landscaping. We know these local challenges and have the right equipment to handle them effectively.
First, we inspect your drain with video camera technology to see exactly what’s causing the blockage and where it’s located. No guessing, no unnecessary work.
Next, we use professional-grade hydro-jetting equipment that blasts high-pressure water through your pipes. This removes not just the current clog, but also the buildup on pipe walls that causes future problems. It’s thorough, eco-friendly, and safe for your plumbing.
Finally, we test the flow and inspect the results to make sure your drains are working properly. You’ll see the difference immediately, and we’ll give you straight advice on preventing future issues.

Our drain cleaning service includes video inspection, hydro-jetting, and testing to ensure your drains flow freely. We also clear main drain lines, kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, and shower lines.
College/Glen’s older homes often have unique challenges. Tree roots from the area’s mature oak and maple trees can infiltrate sewer lines, while hard water common in California creates mineral buildup. Our equipment handles both issues effectively.
We also provide preventive maintenance recommendations based on your home’s age and usage patterns. Most College/Glen homes benefit from annual professional cleaning, but we’ll give you honest advice about what your specific situation requires.
Most homes in College/Glen should have drains professionally cleaned once a year. However, this depends on several factors specific to your situation.
Homes built in the 1950s-1970s with original copper pipes may need more frequent service, especially if you’re dealing with tree root intrusion or hard water buildup. Households with heavy usage or homes with older plumbing systems might benefit from cleaning every 6-8 months.
The best approach is to have an initial inspection so we can assess your pipes’ condition and give you a realistic maintenance schedule. This prevents emergency calls and saves money in the long run.
College/Glen’s mature landscaping creates one of the most common drain problems: tree root intrusion. Oak, maple, and other established trees send roots toward sewer lines, especially in older neighborhoods where pipes may have small cracks.
Hard water, common throughout California, leaves mineral deposits that gradually narrow your pipes. Kitchen drains also clog from grease and food particles, while bathroom drains typically get blocked by hair and soap residue.
In older homes, the pipes themselves may have deteriorated joints or rough interior surfaces that catch debris more easily. Professional cleaning addresses all these issues and helps prevent future blockages.
Hydro-jetting is actually safer for older pipes than chemical drain cleaners or aggressive snaking. We always start with a video inspection to assess your pipes’ condition before using any high-pressure equipment.
For homes with copper pipes from the 1950s-1970s, hydro-jetting removes buildup without the corrosive damage that chemical cleaners cause. The process uses only water, so there’s no risk of chemical reactions that can weaken already aging pipes.
If we find pipes that are too fragile for hydro-jetting, we use alternative methods like professional snaking or recommend repairs before cleaning. Our goal is to solve your drain problem without creating new ones.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know the exact cost. Basic drain cleaning typically ranges from $150-$300, depending on the location and severity of the blockage.
Main sewer line cleaning or complex root removal costs more, usually $300-$500. However, many customers find the final bill is actually less than our original estimate, especially for straightforward clogs.
We don’t charge extra for nights, weekends, or emergency calls. The price we quote is the price you pay, with no hidden fees or surprise charges after the work is done.
Yes, we handle main sewer line blockages, which are common in College/Glen due to tree root intrusion and aging infrastructure. Main line clogs affect multiple drains in your home and require specialized equipment.
We use video inspection to locate the blockage and determine the best removal method. For root intrusion, we have cutting tools that clear the roots and hydro-jetting equipment that removes debris from the entire line.
Main sewer line service typically takes 1-3 hours depending on the blockage severity and location. We also provide recommendations for preventing future main line problems, which can save thousands in emergency repairs.
We provide 24/7 emergency drain cleaning throughout College/Glen. Drain emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Emergency situations include sewage backups, multiple drain blockages, or any situation where water damage is a concern. We typically arrive within an hour and work quickly to minimize disruption to your home.
Emergency service costs the same as regular service – no extra charges for nights, weekends, or holidays. When you’re dealing with a drain emergency, the last thing you need is surprise fees on top of the stress.
