Clogged Drain Repair in Richmond, CA

Complete Clogged Drain Repair Services in Richmond, CA

Kitchen Sink Drain Clogs in Richmond

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.

Recurring Drain Clogs and Camera Diagnosis in Richmond, 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.

Drain Cleaning & Maintenance in Richmond, CA

Beyond emergency repairs, we also offer preventative drain cleaning and maintenance services. Regular cleaning helps prevent clogs before they start, extending the life of your plumbing system. Homes on hard water see scale on fixtures and water heaters, while very soft water can be mildly corrosive to older copper pipe. We can recommend a maintenance schedule based on your home's age and daily use in Richmond.

Tub and Shower Drain Clogs in Richmond

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 surfaces.

Laundry and Utility Drain Clogs in Richmond, CA

Washing machines discharge a lot of water quickly, and lint, fabric fibers and detergent residue build up in the standpipe and branch line. A clogged laundry drain often overflows at the standpipe mid-cycle. We clear the line with a cable and recommend a lint trap for the discharge hose. In some homes the laundry line ties into the kitchen line, so we inspect both.

Floor Drain and Garage Drain Clearing in Richmond

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 sitting unused, sewer gas can also escape. We clear the drain, flush the trap and can install trap primers or trap seals to keep odors out.
