A clogged drain can strike at any time and affect any part of your home’s plumbing system. While store-bought cleaners might provide temporary relief, professional drain cleaning is a longer-lasting solution that protects your pipes and prevents future clogs.
Why Choose Professional Drain Cleaning?
Professional drain cleaning is different from using regular household products. Our trained plumbers use specialized equipment and techniques to remove clogs completely, not just push them further down the pipe.
Here’s what makes professional service better:

- We find the real cause of the clog

- The results last much longer
- We can clean multiple drains at once
Signs You Need Drain Cleaning
Your home will usually let you know when it’s time to call for professional drain cleaning.
For example, have you noticed that water is draining very slowly in your sinks or showers? Maybe you’ve heard bubbling sounds coming from the drains or noticed bad smells rising from the pipes.
Sometimes, flushing the toilet can even cause water to back up in other drains, or the toilet itself might not flush properly. In some cases, you might see standing water in your sinks or tubs that just won’t go away.
All these are common signs that your drains need expert attention.
We’ve solved similar issues for numerous Los Angeles homeowners and businesses quickly, so don’t wait until it gets worse—take action now!
Our Drain Cleaning Methods
We use several proven methods to clean drains, choosing the best one for your specific problem:
High-Pressure Water Jetting
This is a powerful drain cleaning method which uses strong streams of water to tackle even the toughest drain problems.
High pressure water jetting breaks up stubborn clogs, clean the walls of your pipes, and remove grease buildup that causes blockages.
It’s also effective at clearing tree roots that may have invaded your pipes.
And by thoroughly cleaning your system, it helps prevent future clogs from forming. Many homeowners we’ve served in Los Angeles trust this method for its ability to keep their drains running smoothly and avoid costly repairs later.
Professional Snake Service
Our professional-grade drain snakes are designed to handle even the toughest blockages.
They can reach deep into your pipes to break through solid clogs and remove materials like hair that cause backups. These tools are especially effective at clearing blocked toilets and fixing shower drain issues.
Video Camera Inspection
We use special cameras to take a closer look inside your pipes, which makes it easy to identify drain issues.
Our plumber uses these cameras to find hidden clogs, spot any pipe damage, and check for tree roots that might be causing blockages. They also help confirm that the cleaning process worked effectively.
Types of Drains We Clean
Our team can clean any drain in your home, including the following:
Regular Cleaning Schedule
Kitchen and bathroom drains should be cleaned every 6 to 12 months to prevent buildup.
Floor drains benefit from a yearly cleaning to avoid clogs caused by dirt and debris.
For the main sewer line, scheduling a professional cleaning every 1 to 2 years helps prevent serious blockages and ensures your entire system runs smoothly.
Tips to Prevent Clogs
You can keep your drains clear and prevent clogs with a few simple habits.
Use drain strainers to catch debris and avoid pouring grease down the drain, as it can harden and cause blockages. Running hot water after using your drains helps wash away residue, and it’s important not to flush inappropriate items.
Regular maintenance is also key to keeping your plumbing system in top condition.
Emergency Drain Cleaning
Some drain problems simply can’t wait, which is why we offer emergency services whenever you need immediate help.
Our team responds quickly, no matter the time of day, and arrives fully equipped to handle the issue. We work fast to solve problems efficiently and ensure everything is thoroughly cleaned up before we leave. Many homeowners trust our emergency services for quick, reliable solutions when it matters most.
Kitchen Drains
Kitchen drains often get clogged with everyday items that build up over time. Food particles, grease, and oil are common culprits, along with coffee grounds and soap buildup. Sometimes, small objects can also find their way into the pipes, causing blockages. These are quite common with many homeowners we’ve served in the Los Angeles area.
Bathroom Drains
Bathroom drains frequently face common problems that lead to clogs and slow drainage. Hair is one of the biggest culprits, along with soap scum and toothpaste buildup. We’ve encountered personal items, like cotton swabs or small objects, that accidentally end up in the drain, causing blockages. Mineral deposits from hard water can also contribute over time.
Floor Drains
Floor drains can easily become blocked by common items and substances. Dirt and debris, as well as leaves, will sometimes collect and cause clogs. Our plumbers have also come across small toys or objects that find their way into the drain, as well as paint or chemicals that build up inside your drain.
Main Sewer Line
Main line issues are often caused by serious blockages that disrupt your entire plumbing system. Tree roots can invade pipes, while grease buildup and paper products create stubborn clogs. Foreign objects and pipe scale can also lead to major issues that require professional drain cleaning services.
Preventive Maintenance
Regular drain cleaning helps prevent serious problems. We recommend:
