Clogged kitchen sink? Slow shower drain? Backed-up main line? We use the right tool for the job — snake, hydro-jetter, or camera — to clear it the first time and tell you exactly what's going on inside your pipes.
Most drain disasters start with small warning signs. Knowing what to look for can save you from a Thanksgiving Day sewage backup. Here's what we see most often in Napa homes.
Water pools while you're using a sink or bath, then drains slowly after. Usually a partial clog — easy to clear now, but will fully block soon if ignored.
Hearing bubbling or gurgling from drains when you flush the toilet or run water elsewhere? That's air trapped by a developing blockage in your main line.
If more than one drain is slow or backing up at the same time, the problem isn't local — it's in your main sewer line. Don't wait. Call before it overflows.
Persistent sewage odors usually mean a cracked drain line, dry P-trap, or partial main line blockage allowing gas to escape. Don't ignore — it's a health concern.
Soggy spots, lush green patches, or visible water above your sewer line path — especially after no rain — often signals a broken or collapsed sewer line below.
If you keep clearing the same drain every few weeks, you have a deeper issue — usually buildup on pipe walls. Snaking just makes a hole; you need full cleaning.
We don't upsell. We tell you which method actually fits your situation — and why.
An auger cable spins through the drain, punching through the blockage and breaking it apart. Fast and effective for fresh clogs.
High-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) scours the entire pipe wall, removing years of grease, scale, and root intrusion. Restores full flow.
A waterproof camera on a flexible cable feeds through your pipes and shows you exactly what's inside on a screen. No guessing.
Simple, transparent, and respectful of your home. Here's exactly what happens when you book us.
We don't guess. We identify which drain, how severe, and whether snake, jet, or camera is right — before quoting.
Written quote with the all-in price upfront. You decide whether to proceed before we touch anything.
We protect your floors and surfaces, run the right equipment, and verify full flow before we pack up.
If we did a camera inspection, we walk you through the footage. We tell you what we found and what we'd recommend long-term.
No "$49 service" bait-and-switch. Real ranges, quoted upfront, with the diagnostic fee waived if you proceed.
Kitchen sink, bathroom sink, tub, shower, or single toilet. Most clogs cleared in under an hour.
Full main sewer line cleaning with high-pressure water. Best long-term value for serious or recurring clogs.
Full sewer line camera scope with recorded footage. Essential before home purchase or for recurring issues.
Pricing varies based on pipe access, length, and severity. We always quote in writing before starting work — no surprises.
Drain cleaning is where dishonest plumbers thrive — easy to overcharge, easy to scare customers into unnecessary repairs. We've built our reputation on the opposite approach.
We'll show you what's really going on (camera footage), tell you what's truly urgent, and what can wait.
We won't sell you hydro-jetting if a $150 snake will fix it. And we won't snake a clog that needs jetting.
If the same drain clogs again within 30 days, we come back and clear it free. That's how confident we are.
Drop cloths, shoe covers, vacuumed floors. We treat your home like our own — even with sewage work.
