Our team can handle all kinds of drain repairs when they get clogged or damaged. Call us for:

Main sewer drains

Main sewer line clogs can happen due to a variety of reasons such as roots, broken lines due to age, and putting paper towels, feminine products or other non-flushable items in the line. We are prepared to diagnose and tackle any clogged sewer lines.

Area drains

Area drains are common in San Diego to help divert storm and rain waters from overflowing and flooding yards and homes. Area drains can become clogged easily during dry weather as they do not get much use. Debris, dirt, leaves, and rocks can obstruct area drain lines, but homeowners may not discover the blockage until it’s too late. The best maintenance for area drains is an annual cleaning before the rainy season and a camera inspection to view the condition of the line.

FAQs

What is Drain Cleaning?

Sewer cleaning is a specialized service focused on clearing blockages within the main sewer line.

How Can I Tell If I Need Professional Drain Cleaning?

Are Drain Cleaners Bad for Pipes?

While store-bought drain cleaners may provide a temporary fix by opening up the drain, they often don't address the underlying problem and may create only a small opening in the clog, allowing it to return. Repeated use of these products can lead to pipe corrosion, resulting in costly repairs. Additionally, some drain cleaners can be environmentally harmful. We generally advise against relying on them for a long-term solution.

How Do Professionals Clear Drains?
