Drain Cleaning in Orange County: Clear the Clog and Find the Cause
Clog or backup? Request service or call us.
Signs You Need Drain Cleaning
- Water drains slowly from a sink, tub or shower
- Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets
- More than one fixture backs up at the same time
- Bad smells coming from drains
- Water pooling in a tub or shower when you flush or run the washer
- Sewage or water coming up from a floor drain or clean-out
Backing up in several places? That usually points to the main line. Call right away, and see emergency plumbing for what to do while you wait.
How We Clear a Drain
We start with the least expensive fix that will work, and we move up only if we need to. That's the Klean Advice.
- 1
Clear the clog.
We use the right tool for the pipe, such as snaking for a typical blockage.
- 2
Look inside.
When the problem isn't obvious or keeps coming back, a video camera shows what's really in the line.
- 3
Go deeper if needed.
For heavy buildup, grease or repeat clogs, we recommend hydro jetting.
- 4
Fix the cause.
Roots, sags or broken pipe need repair, and we'll explain the options.
Sewer Camera Inspection
A camera on a flexible cable shows the inside of your drain or sewer line: buildup, roots, cracks, offsets and low spots. You see what we see, and we explain what it means. It's the best way to know whether you need a cleaning or a repair.
Clean-Out Installation
A clean-out is a capped access point on your sewer line. Without one, crews often have to work through a toilet or the roof vent. With one, cleaning, jetting and inspection are faster and cheaper, and the next clog is an easy fix.
At an Anaheim apartment complex, we installed a clean-out on a 6" sewer line, then ran a video camera inspection and snaked the line. If your home or building doesn't have a clean-out, it's worth adding one.
Not sure if you have a clean-out? Request service and tell us what you see.
Why Drains Keep Clogging
- Grease hardening in kitchen lines
- Hair and soap buildup in bathroom drains
- Wipes and paper products that aren't meant to be flushed
- Tree roots entering the sewer line
- Old or damaged pipe. Sagging, cracked or corroded pipe traps waste. We've replaced old cast iron pipe, and a repipe or sewer repair can end repeat clogs.
- A toilet flange that has failed. We repair broken toilet flanges too.
What Not to Do
Skip the chemical drain cleaners. They can damage pipe, and they make a service call harder and less safe for the person who has to work on the line. Don't run water into a backed-up main line. If a plunger doesn't work, stop and call.
Drain Cleaning for Homes and Businesses
For Homeowners
You get an upfront price, covered floors and a clear explanation of what we found.
For Restaurants, Apartments and Offices
Clogs cost you money and tenant goodwill. We work around your hours and send photo documentation and a clear invoice. Request service or call us to discuss the problem and schedule a visit.
When It's More Than a Clog
If the camera shows a broken, offset or root-filled line, cleaning won't last. We do sewer repair, including trenchless pipe work, and we'll explain your options and the price before we start.
