Our Drain Cleaning Process

Our systematic approach guarantees quality results on every project. Here's what you can expect when you choose Carson Plumbing Co:

1

Drain Assessment

We start by discussing your drain issues and performing a visual inspection. For persistent or recurring clogs, we may use a drain camera to identify the exact location and nature of the blockage.

2

Choose the Right Method

Based on our assessment, we select the most effective cleaning method — drain snaking for simple clogs, hydro jetting for buildup and grease, or specialized tools for root intrusion.

3

Clear the Drain

Our technician clears the blockage completely, not just partially. We verify the drain is flowing freely and check for any underlying issues that could cause future problems.

4

Prevention Advice

We provide practical tips specific to your drain system to help prevent future clogs, and recommend a maintenance schedule if your drains are prone to buildup.

The Benefits of Professional Drain Cleaning

Professional drain cleaning goes far beyond what you can achieve with a plunger or store-bought chemicals. Licensed plumbers use commercial-grade equipment that can reach deep into your drain system, remove stubborn buildup, and clear blockages that consumer tools simply cannot address. Hydro jetting, for example, uses water pressure up to 4,000 PSI to scour the interior walls of your pipes, removing years of accumulated grease, soap scum, mineral deposits, and even tree root intrusions.

More importantly, a professional can diagnose the underlying cause of recurring clogs. A slow drain might seem like a simple clog, but it could indicate a broken pipe, a belly in the sewer line, root intrusion, or a venting problem that no amount of snaking will fix. Video camera inspection technology allows us to see exactly what's happening inside your pipes, ensuring we treat the cause — not just the symptom.

Should You DIY or Call a Pro?

While some minor plumbing tasks can be handled by handy homeowners, most plumbing work requires professional expertise, specialized tools, and knowledge of local building codes. Here's a comparison:

Factor DIY Approach Professional Service
Effectiveness Plunger moves clogs temporarily Complete removal of blockage and buildup
Pipe Safety Chemical cleaners corrode pipes over time Safe methods that preserve pipe integrity
Diagnosis Guessing at the problem Camera inspection shows exact issue
Reach Limited to first few feet of drain Can reach 150+ feet into sewer line
Prevention Clogs recur frequently Root cause treatment prevents recurrence
Cost Long-Term Repeated purchases add up; risk of pipe damage One-time thorough cleaning lasts longer

Maintenance Tips for Drain Cleaning

Taking preventive measures can help you avoid costly plumbing issues down the road. Here are our expert recommendations:

  • Use drain screens or strainers in all sinks and showers to catch hair, food, and debris
  • Never pour cooking grease or oil down any drain — let it cool and dispose in the trash
  • Run hot water through kitchen drains after each use to help prevent grease buildup
  • Clean pop-up stoppers in bathroom sinks and tubs monthly to remove hair and soap accumulation
  • Flush drains monthly with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar followed by hot water
  • Avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper — no wipes, feminine products, or cotton swabs
  • Schedule professional drain cleaning annually as preventive maintenance, especially for older homes

Your Drain Cleaning Questions Answered

Basic drain cleaning in Carson typically ranges from $125 to $300 depending on the severity and location of the clog. Hydro jetting for more stubborn blockages ranges from $350 to $600. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work so there are no surprises.
We strongly advise against chemical drain cleaners. Products like Drano and Liquid-Plumbr contain harsh chemicals (sodium hydroxide or sulfuric acid) that can corrode metal pipes, damage PVC joints, and harm septic systems. They also pose health risks from fumes and skin contact. Professional mechanical cleaning is safer and more effective.
For most homes, annual professional drain cleaning is sufficient as preventive maintenance. However, homes with older pipes, heavy kitchen use, or trees near sewer lines may benefit from cleaning every 6 months. If you experience recurring clogs, a camera inspection can determine the optimal maintenance schedule.
Hydro jetting uses a specialized nozzle that shoots water at up to 4,000 PSI to scour the inside of your pipes clean. It's extremely effective at removing grease, scale, roots, and years of buildup. It's safe for most pipes in good condition, but we always inspect the pipe condition first to ensure hydro jetting is appropriate.
Recurring clogs usually indicate an underlying issue that simple snaking doesn't address. Common causes include partial root intrusion, a belly or sag in the sewer line, deteriorating pipe walls catching debris, or an undersized drain. A camera inspection can reveal the root cause and guide a permanent solution.
Absolutely. We have heavy-duty sewer machines that can reach 150+ feet to clear main sewer line blockages. We also use sewer cameras to identify the exact location and cause of the blockage, whether it's roots, grease buildup, a collapsed section, or an offset joint.
