When your drains are backing up, you need more than a quick fix. You need them completely clear and flowing like they should. That’s what happens when you get real drain cleaning, not just someone poking a hole through the clog.
Your kitchen sink drains fast again. Your shower doesn’t flood your feet. Your main line handles everything you throw at it without backing up into your house.
The difference is in how we clean them. We don’t just clear the blockage—we clean the entire pipe so buildup doesn’t come right back.
We’ve been handling drain problems for families across the region for five generations. We’ve seen every type of clog, every kind of pipe, and every drainage issue that Folsom homes deal with.
What makes us different is simple: we fix the actual problem. When other companies just poke holes through clogs, we clean the entire line so you don’t have the same issue next month.
Folsom’s growing population means more homes dealing with drain issues, especially in older neighborhoods where tree roots and aging pipes create ongoing problems. We know these systems inside and out.
First, we figure out what’s really causing the problem. We use camera inspection to see exactly what we’re dealing with—whether it’s grease buildup, tree roots, or something else entirely.
Then we choose the right method to clear it. For tough clogs and buildup, we use hydro jetting—high-pressure water that scours the entire pipe clean. For simpler blockages, we might use specialized drain snakes that won’t damage your pipes.
The key is matching the solution to the actual problem. After we’re done, your drains flow like new because we’ve removed everything that was slowing them down, not just punched a hole through it.

Our drain cleaning covers everything from kitchen sinks backing up from grease to main sewer lines clogged with tree roots. We handle bathroom drains slow from hair and soap buildup, floor drains that won’t take water, and laundry drains that overflow.
In Folsom, we see a lot of issues with older homes where cast iron pipes have buildup, and newer developments where construction debris causes problems. Tree roots are especially common here with all the mature landscaping—they find their way into sewer lines and create major backups.
We also handle the preventive side. Regular hydro jetting keeps your main line clear before problems start, which saves you from dealing with sewage backing up into your house. It’s especially important in Folsom where the city’s infrastructure puts extra pressure on home drainage systems.
Drain cleaning costs depend on what’s causing the blockage and where it’s located. Simple sink or tub clogs typically run $150-300 to clear properly. Main line cleaning with hydro jetting usually costs $300-600, depending on how severe the blockage is and how much of the line needs cleaning.
The key is getting it done right the first time. Cheap drain cleaning that just pokes a hole through the clog means you’ll be calling again in a few weeks when it backs up again. Professional cleaning that removes all the buildup costs more upfront but saves money because it actually solves the problem.
We always give you the exact price before we start any work, so there are no surprises on your bill.
Drain snaking pushes a cable through the pipe to break up or pull out whatever’s blocking it. It’s good for simple clogs like hair or paper, but it often leaves buildup on the pipe walls that causes problems again later.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water—up to 4,000 psi—to completely clean the inside of the pipe. It removes grease, scale, tree roots, and all the buildup that snaking leaves behind. Think of it like pressure washing the inside of your pipes.
For main sewer lines or recurring drain problems, hydro jetting is usually the better choice because it actually cleans the pipe instead of just poking a hole through the blockage. It costs more upfront but lasts much longer because you’re dealing with a clean pipe, not one that still has buildup ready to cause problems.
Multiple drains backing up at the same time is the biggest sign your main line has a problem. If your kitchen sink, bathroom drains, and laundry all start acting up together, the blockage is probably in the main line that serves all of them.
Other signs include sewage smell coming from drains, gurgling sounds when you flush toilets or run water, and water backing up in floor drains or the lowest drains in your house. You might also notice wet spots in your yard where the sewer line runs underground.
In Folsom, tree roots are a common cause of main line problems, especially in older neighborhoods with mature trees. The roots find their way into joints in the pipe and create major blockages. If you’re having recurring drain problems even after getting individual drains cleaned, the main line probably needs attention.
Yes, but it requires knowing what kind of pipes you have and choosing the right cleaning method. We always start with a camera inspection to see the condition of your pipes before we do any cleaning.
For older cast iron or clay pipes that might be fragile, we adjust our approach. We might use lower pressure for hydro jetting or choose specialized tools that clean effectively without putting stress on weak pipes. The key is matching the cleaning method to what your pipes can handle.
We’ve been working on Folsom homes for decades, so we know the different types of plumbing systems in different neighborhoods. Homes from the 1960s and 70s often have cast iron that needs careful handling, while newer homes can usually handle full-pressure cleaning. We make sure the cleaning method is safe for your specific pipes before we start.
For most homes, having your main sewer line cleaned every 18-24 months prevents major problems. Individual drains like kitchen sinks might need attention more often if you deal with a lot of grease, or less often if you’re careful about what goes down them.
In Folsom, homes with mature trees should consider annual main line cleaning because tree roots grow constantly and will find their way back into sewer lines. Homes with garbage disposals or large families typically need more frequent kitchen drain cleaning due to higher usage.
The best approach is preventive cleaning before you have problems. It’s much cheaper to clean drains that are flowing slowly than to deal with sewage backing up into your house. We can set up a maintenance schedule based on your specific situation and what we find when we inspect your system.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency drain cleaning when you have sewage backing up into your house or drains that have completely stopped working. These situations can’t wait until regular business hours because they create health hazards and can damage your home.
Emergency calls get priority response, usually within a few hours depending on the situation. We carry the equipment needed to handle most drain emergencies on our trucks, so we can often solve the problem the same day you call.
For true emergencies like sewage backup, we focus on getting your drains flowing again quickly, then schedule follow-up work if needed to address the underlying cause. Our emergency service covers all of Folsom and surrounding areas, and we’ll give you an honest assessment of whether your situation really needs emergency attention or can wait for regular scheduling.
