Tub and Shower Drain Clogs in El Dorado Hills

Hair and soap scum are the most common causes of slow tubs and showers. We remove the strainer or overflow plate and pull the clog out with a drum auger designed for small diameter drains. If the drain is still slow, we check the trap under the slab or in the access panel. We take care not to scratch acrylic, fiberglass or porcelain finishes.

Floor Drain and Garage Drain Clearing in El Dorado Hills

Floor drains in garages, utility rooms and commercial kitchens collect dirt, sand and debris, especially after storms track grit indoors. When their traps dry out from lack of use, sewer gas can also escape. We clear the drain, flush the trap and can install trap primers or trap seals to keep odors out.

Recurring Drain Clogs and Camera Diagnosis in El Dorado Hills, CA

If the same drain clogs every few weeks, the problem is often a sagging pipe, a broken fitting or heavy scale. We run a small inspection camera through the line to see the inside of the pipe. You see the footage on screen with us. That lets you decide whether a deeper cleaning, a spot repair or a section replacement makes the most sense for you.

Kitchen Sink Drain Clogs in El Dorado Hills

Kitchen drains clog from cooking grease, coffee grounds and starchy food that stick to the pipe walls and harden. Garbage disposals can push food further down the line where it collects in horizontal runs. We remove the trap, run a cable through the trap arm and branch line and clear the buildup back to the main stack. For heavy grease, we may follow with a small jetter to wash the walls clean.
