"Ryan was perfectly on-time and was a plumbing scholar and a gentleman. We had a simple drain replacement under a new sink. Going to Western saved me at least another day of trying to figure out proper parts and doing the install myself, and it also saved my wife's ears from hearing my salty language."

"Javier at Alliance did s very good job clearing all the Area Drains around our entire rear yard ... down both sides of our home all the way to the street. We always had lots of standing water after a rain but now it drains just like it should. Javier was also a Real Gentleman."

"I contacted California Drains because my parent's home was completely backed up to the point where dirty water was coming out from the drains inside and outside their home. They promptly answered and booked me in the same day. They were able to contain the water from continuing to come out of the drains overnight and returned the next day first thing in the morning to get the problem fixed. Price was very reasonable, and the workers were very professional. Left everything clean and drains were completely cleared. It has been months since they came and there has not been an issue since. 10/10 will highly recommend to family and friends."

"I had a major drain blockage in my bathroom that was causing some serious issues, so I called so-cal 1 pluming & rooter based on a friends recommendation. From the moment they arrived, I knew I was in good hands. The technician was incredibly professional and took the time to explain exactly what was causing the blockage and how they would resolve it. They used advanced equipment to clear the drain quickly and efficiently, and I was amazed at how thorough they were. They did not just clear the blockage they also performed a full inspection of my plumbing to make sure everything was in good condition. The whole process was stress-free, and I appreciated how they cleaned up afterward, leaving no mess behind. What really stood out to me was their honesty and transparency throughout the entire process. The pricing was reasonable, and there were no surprise charges. I also received helpful maintenance tips to avoid future clogs, which I thought was a nice touch. Recommend them highly."

"Can you say you have a favorite plumber? I can. Had these great guys out recently to service the tankless water heater, who also recommended a filter to reduce the necessary descaling intervals (and subsequent expensive filter replacements). Also have had them out to clear sewer and drain lines, both at home and at a church we attended. Always fast, on-time, efficient, and clean. Have recommended to people I care about that are in need of trustworthy experts. No BS, just professionals that know their trade."

They were professional and skilled. I am happy with the service and their fair pricing. Don’t bother shopping around and waste time give them a call directly."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

To clean gunk out of a sink drain, pour in a half cup of baking soda, then 1 cup of white vinegar. The two will react chemically; let them fizz for 15 minutes, then rinse with boiling water. Repeat these steps if necessary for particularly dirty sink drains, and consider a drain snake if there are clogs.

If methods like hot water or a plunger don’t work on your clogged drain, you can snake your drain to dislodge the plug. This can be a messy process, taking some physical effort and additional time over the other drain-clearing options. You can purchase a drain snake at a hardware store and choose from handheld options or those attached to a drill. Just work slowly, and be ready to call a plumber if you’re unable to reach the clog from your drain or P-trap.

In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don’t technically need a license, as they aren’t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They’ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your plumber’s professional licenses before hiring.

Septic tanks can clog if they aren’t pumped every few years since solid waste accumulates inside of them. Your tank might also clog if you have a habit of flushing anything other than human waste or toilet paper. Items like diapers, baby wipes, paper towels, cat litter, and personal hygiene products should never go down your pipes.

Regrading your yard can often fix drainage problems. You can also try aerating the lawn to encourage better drainage or install a new drainage system to prevent water from pooling in certain areas.
