Overview

Sewer & Drain Cleaning in Santa Rosa & Sonoma County

Older Santa Rosa neighborhoods are full of mature trees — beautiful curb appeal, but their roots love the moisture inside aging clay and cast-iron sewer lines. Once roots or grease build-up narrow a line, backups tend to show up at the worst possible time: a backed-up shower during a shower, or a gurgling toilet before guests arrive.

We clear the blockage with the right tool for the job — cable auger for a simple clog, hydro-jetting for grease and root mats, and a camera inspection so you can actually see the condition of the line and decide whether a spot repair or full repipe makes sense.

What's Included

  • Video camera line inspection — We show you exactly what's happening inside the pipe before recommending a fix.
  • Root intrusion removal — Mechanical cutting and hydro-jetting to clear root masses from clay and cast-iron lines.
  • Hydro-jetting — High-pressure water clears grease, sludge, and scale that cabling alone can't remove.
  • Kitchen & bathroom drain clearing — Sinks, tubs, and showers running slow or not draining at all.
  • Main sewer line service — From the cleanout to the city connection, including backup prevention advice.
  • Same-day appointments available — Because a backed-up drain rarely waits for a convenient time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if it's a simple clog or a bigger sewer line problem?
A single slow drain is usually local to that fixture. If multiple drains back up at once, or the lowest drain in the house (often a shower or floor drain) gurgles when you run water elsewhere, that points to a main line issue — we'll run a camera to confirm before recommending a repair.
What is hydro-jetting and is it safe for older pipes?
Hydro-jetting uses a controlled, high-pressure water stream to scour the inside of the pipe clean. For pipes in poor condition we first inspect with a camera to confirm the line can handle jetting safely, and adjust pressure accordingly.
Do you offer trenchless repair for root-damaged sewer lines?
Depending on the extent of the damage and site access, trenchless options such as pipe bursting or lining can often replace a damaged section with minimal digging. We'll walk you through the options after the camera inspection.
How often should a main sewer line be cleaned preventively?
For homes with mature trees near the line, an annual or biannual cleaning can keep roots from re-establishing and prevent an emergency backup.
