Drain cleaning & repair in Van Nuys and the San Fernando Valley

We clear clogged kitchen, bathroom, laundry and main sewer drains, and repair drain lines that are broken or leaking. You get a flat-rate price before we start, and estimates are free.

Drains we clear

  • Kitchen sinks backed up with grease and food
  • Bathroom sinks, tubs and showers slowed by hair and soap
  • Toilets that won't flush or keep clogging
  • Laundry and floor drains
  • Main sewer lines, when several fixtures back up at once

Signs the clog is in your main line

If one sink is slow, the clog is usually close to that fixture. If the toilet gurgles when the washer drains, or water comes up in the shower when you flush, the blockage is further down in the main line and needs a drain machine to clear it.

How we clear it

We use electric drain-cleaning machines that cut through grease, hair and tree roots. If a line keeps clogging after it's cleared, the pipe itself may be broken or sagging. We'll explain the repair options, including trenchless sewer repair, and price each one.

Keep drains clear between visits

  • Wipe grease into the trash, not the sink.
  • Use a hair catcher in showers and tubs.
  • Flush only toilet paper. "Flushable" wipes don't break down the way paper does.
  • Skip chemical drain cleaners on a fully blocked line. They can damage pipes and don't clear most main-line clogs.

Questions

How much does drain cleaning cost?

It depends on which drain is clogged and how far down the blockage is. We give you a flat-rate price before any work starts, and the estimate is free.

Should I try a chemical drain cleaner first?

Not on a drain that's fully blocked. The chemicals sit in the pipe, can damage older lines, and rarely reach a main-line clog. Call us instead.
