Drains That Actually Work Right

When your drains work properly, your whole routine gets easier. No more standing water in morning showers. No more waiting for the kitchen sink to empty after washing dishes. No more wondering what’s growing in those slow-moving pipes.

That’s what real drain cleaning gets you—drains that flow fast and stay flowing fast. Water goes down immediately and keeps going down that way. Your bathroom stays functional, your kitchen stays efficient, and you stop worrying about backup problems.

We use professional hydro-jetting equipment that cleans the entire pipe wall, not just pokes a hole through the middle. When we’re done, your drains work like they’re supposed to work.

We Know Shingle Springs Plumbing

Murray Plumbing has been handling drain problems in Shingle Springs for over 24 years. We understand what clogs drains around here—from tree roots working into older sewer lines to the mineral buildup that comes with local water conditions.

Drain Cleaning Process Shingle Springs CA

How We Actually Clear Your Drains

First, we assess the situation with our sewer camera technology. This shows us exactly what’s causing the blockage and where it’s located—no guesswork involved. We can see if it’s grease buildup, tree roots, or something else entirely.

Next, we use professional-grade hydro-jetting equipment to clear the blockage completely. This isn’t just pushing through the clog—we’re cleaning the entire pipe wall to remove years of buildup. The high-pressure water scours away grease, soap residue, and other materials that stick to pipes.

Finally, we run another camera inspection to confirm everything is flowing properly. You’ll see the before and after, so you know the job was done right. Simple clogs usually take 30-45 minutes, while more complex blockages might take 2-3 hours.

What's Included in Professional Drain Cleaning

Our drain cleaning service covers all types of drains in your Shingle Springs home. We handle kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, laundry drains, and main sewer lines. Our equipment works on different pipe materials—PVC, cast iron, clay, and the older galvanized pipes common in Shingle Springs homes.

Many homes in our area were built in the 1980s and earlier, which means dealing with specific challenges like tree root infiltration and mineral deposits from local water conditions. We adjust our approach based on your specific plumbing system because older pipes need different handling than newer ones.

We provide same-day service when possible, especially for emergencies like main sewer line backups or multiple affected drains. Every job includes a free estimate upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work.

How much does drain cleaning cost in Shingle Springs, CA?

Most basic drain cleaning jobs in Shingle Springs run between $150-300, depending on the severity of the blockage and which drains are affected. Main sewer line cleaning typically costs more because it requires specialized equipment and more time.We provide free estimates before starting any work, so you’ll know the exact cost upfront. Unlike some companies, we don’t charge diagnostic fees on top of the service cost. The price we quote for unclogging your drain is the price you pay—no surprises or hidden charges added later.Emergency services and after-hours calls may have additional fees, but we’ll discuss all costs before beginning work. Our goal is transparent pricing that lets you make informed decisions about your plumbing repairs.

Why do my drains keep clogging after cleaning?

Recurring clogs usually mean the drain wasn’t properly cleaned the first time—just had a hole poked through the blockage instead of being thoroughly cleared. Hair, grease, and soap buildup stick to pipe walls, so if you only clear the center of the pipe, buildup starts accumulating again immediately.Tree roots are another common cause of recurring problems, especially in older Shingle Springs homes where roots work their way into sewer lines. Our sewer camera inspection can identify root intrusion and other structural issues that cause repeated blockages.We use hydro-jetting to clean pipe walls completely, not just clear a path through the middle. This removes the buildup that causes future clogs and gives you longer-lasting results. When done properly, professional drain cleaning should keep your drains flowing freely for months or years, not weeks.

Do you provide emergency drain cleaning in Shingle Springs?

Yes, we provide emergency drain cleaning when you have water backing up or multiple drains affected. We understand that some drain problems can’t wait—like when your main sewer line backs up or when water is overflowing and threatening property damage.We offer same-day service when possible and can often respond within a few hours for true emergencies. Our emergency services cover all types of drain problems, from completely blocked kitchen sinks to sewer line backups that affect your entire home.Emergency calls may have additional fees compared to regular service hours, but we’ll explain all costs before starting work. We believe in transparent pricing even during emergency situations, so you can make informed decisions when you’re dealing with urgent plumbing problems.

What type of drain cleaning equipment do you use?

We use professional-grade hydro-jetting equipment that can clear years of buildup from your pipes, along with drain snakes that can handle the toughest blockages. Our hydro-jetting system uses high-pressure water to scour pipe walls completely clean, removing grease, soap residue, mineral deposits, and other materials that cause recurring clogs.We also use sewer camera technology for pinpoint accuracy in diagnosing problems. These specially built waterproof cameras can be inserted through pipelines to complete visual inspections of sewer lines and other difficult-to-reach pipes, including those underground or behind walls.This combination of diagnostic cameras and professional cleaning equipment means we can identify exactly what’s causing your drain problems and fix them properly the first time. We’re not just clearing a temporary path—we’re restoring your drains to proper function.

How long does professional drain cleaning take?

Simple clogs in bathroom sinks or tubs can often be cleared in 30-45 minutes. More complex blockages, especially in main sewer lines or when multiple drains are affected, might take 2-3 hours. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when we assess the problem.The time investment is worth it because proper drain cleaning prevents the same clog from coming back in a few weeks like it does with temporary fixes. We take the time to clean pipe walls thoroughly and verify the work with camera inspection, so you get lasting results.Factors that affect timing include the type of blockage, the age and condition of your pipes, and whether we need to access multiple drain points. We work efficiently but never rush the job—your drains need to be cleaned properly to prevent future problems.

Can you clean drains in older Shingle Springs homes?

Absolutely. We have extensive experience working with older plumbing systems common in Shingle Springs, including homes built in the 1980s and earlier. Our equipment works on different pipe materials—PVC, cast iron, clay, and older galvanized pipes that were standard in previous decades.Older homes often have specific challenges like tree root infiltration, mineral buildup from local water conditions, and pipes that need gentler handling than newer systems. We adjust our approach based on your specific plumbing system because older pipes require different techniques than modern installations.We’ve been handling drain problems in Shingle Springs for over 24 years, so we understand the unique issues that come with aging plumbing systems. The only drains we don’t service are those with significant structural damage that needs repair before cleaning can be effective—and we’ll identify those issues with our camera inspection.
