Professional Drain Cleaning Service

Your Drains Flowing Like New Again

You get your kitchen sink draining completely after washing dishes. Your shower water disappears down the drain instead of pooling around your feet. Your bathroom doesn’t smell like something died in the pipes. That’s what proper drain cleaning looks like. Not the temporary fix you get from store-bought chemicals that work for a week, then leave you right back where you started. When we clean your drains, we’re removing years of buildup—grease, hair, soap scum, and debris that’s been accumulating in your pipes. You’ll notice the difference immediately, and it lasts because we actually solve the problem instead of masking it.

Our Drain Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What Happens When We Clean Your Drains

First, we inspect your drain to identify exactly what’s causing the blockage. No guessing, no assumptions. We use camera equipment when needed to see what’s really going on in your pipes. Next, we choose the right tool for your specific situation. Sometimes it’s a drain snake for simple clogs. Other times we need hydro-jetting equipment to blast away years of buildup. We match the solution to your problem, not the other way around. Then we clean your drain thoroughly, removing everything that’s been slowing down your water flow. We don’t stop at “good enough”—we make sure water flows like it should. After we’re done, we test everything to make sure the problem is actually solved, and we clean up our work area so you’d never know we were there.

Complete Drain Cleaning Solutions

Everything Included in Our Drain Service

You get a complete diagnostic of your drain problem, not just a quick fix. We identify what’s causing the issue and explain it in plain English so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. Our service includes professional-grade equipment that homeowners don’t have access to. We bring drain snakes, hydro-jetting equipment, and camera inspection tools when needed. This isn’t the same as what you can rent from the hardware store. In Mather, we see a lot of issues with tree root intrusion and mineral buildup from hard water. These problems require specific approaches, and we have the experience to handle both. We also provide recommendations to help prevent future clogs, so you’re not dealing with the same problem six months from now.

How much does drain cleaning cost in Mather?

Drain cleaning typically costs between $150-$400 depending on the severity and location of the clog. Simple kitchen sink clogs are on the lower end, while main line blockages cost more due to the equipment and time required. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. No surprise charges, no “additional fees” that appear after we’re done. The price we quote is the price you pay. Many customers tell us our final bill was actually less than the original estimate because the job turned out to be simpler than expected. We don’t pad estimates or find extra work that doesn’t need to be done.

How long does professional drain cleaning take?

Most drain cleaning jobs take 1-2 hours from start to finish. Simple clogs in bathroom sinks or tubs usually take about an hour. Kitchen drains with grease buildup might take longer, especially if we need to clean the entire line. Main sewer line cleaning can take 2-4 hours because we’re dealing with larger pipes and potentially more complex blockages. We never rush the job just to get to the next appointment—we make sure your drains are working properly before we leave. If we discover additional problems during the cleaning process, we’ll explain what we found and get your approval before doing any extra work. You’re always in control of what gets done and what it costs.

What causes drains to clog so frequently?

Kitchen drains clog from grease, food particles, and soap buildup that accumulates over time. Even small amounts of grease solidify in your pipes and catch other debris, creating bigger blockages. Bathroom drains typically clog from hair, soap scum, and personal care products. Hair combines with soap residue to form clumps that stick to pipe walls and gradually restrict water flow. In Mather, we also see clogs caused by tree roots growing into sewer lines and mineral deposits from hard water. These issues develop slowly over months or years, which is why regular maintenance can prevent major problems down the road.

Should I try chemical drain cleaners before calling a plumber?

Chemical drain cleaners rarely solve the underlying problem and can actually damage your pipes over time. They might clear surface-level clogs temporarily, but they don’t remove the buildup that’s causing recurring blockages. Harsh chemicals can corrode older pipes, especially if you use them repeatedly. They’re also dangerous to handle and can create toxic fumes when mixed with other household products accidentally. Professional drain cleaning removes the actual cause of your clog—grease buildup, hair clumps, or debris accumulation. That’s why our results last months or years instead of weeks like chemical cleaners.

Do you offer emergency drain cleaning services?

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency drain cleaning throughout Mather. Drain emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. We understand that a backed-up main line or overflowing sink can’t wait until Monday morning. Emergency service does cost more than regular appointments because we’re coming out after hours or on weekends. We’ll tell you the emergency rate upfront so there are no surprises on your bill. Most emergency calls involve main sewer line backups, multiple drains backing up simultaneously, or situations where water is overflowing and causing property damage. We prioritize these calls and typically arrive within 1-2 hours.

How often should I have my drains professionally cleaned?

Most homes benefit from professional drain cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on your usage patterns and what goes down your drains. Homes with multiple people or heavy kitchen use might need annual cleaning. If you’re dealing with recurring clogs every few months, that’s a sign you need professional cleaning to remove buildup that home remedies can’t handle. Waiting until you have a complete blockage usually costs more than preventive maintenance. We can assess your specific situation during service and recommend a maintenance schedule based on your pipes, usage, and local factors like tree roots or hard water that affect Mather homes differently than other areas.
