"We had been dealing with our shower slowly draining for about a week. After reading their reviews, we called California Plumbing. They used a hydro jetting machine to clear out years of buildup and our shower is draining much quicker. So satisfying!"

Small jobs welcome

"2 months ago We needed to replace the pipes in our house after having serveral leaks. Pablo Solis and his team were friendly, prompt & did a great job! They kept me updated as they completed the project and made recommendations when needed. They were kind enough to fix a small toilet issue we were having even though it was not part of the project we hired them for. I recommend them 100% ð ð ¼ The pricing was very competitive. We would definitely use them again."

"The plumber showed up on time and was very pleasant and professional. He completed the job in approximately 1/2 hour which I thought was amazing. He took all packing materials with him and left the counter spotless. He did not try to oversell me any additional items over and above the work I asked to be performed. I would definately use Vista Plumbing in the future."

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

You can unclog an AC drain line for free if you already have these household ingredients: water, vinegar, and rags. Alternatively, if you’d rather not deal with the mess, you can hire a pro to clear your drain line. If you go that route, an HVAC service call costs between $100 and $250.

While some chemical drain cleaners with hydrochloric acid can dissolve hair, this method is not recommended as it can also destroy your plumbing pipes. A common DIY alternative is using baking soda and vinegar, which can help break down the clog but will not actually dissolve the hair. The best and safest method for clearing a hair clog is to remove it manually. You can use a drain snake, a straightened wire hanger with pliers to fish out the clog, or have a plumber use a professional auger for more severe blockages.

Most blockages can be cleared in 1-3 hours, but severe issues may take longer.

You can pour hot water down your gutter drain to melt ice and keep ice dams from forming. If the problems persist, consider investing in heat cables to run in your gutters. Heat cables can adjust based on the surrounding temperature to keep ice thawed.

Water leaking through your basement floor is a good sign of a clogged drain, but another sign of a clogged basement floor drain can include unpleasant odors coming from the drain. Also, hearing gurgling noises when water drains from the basement or having other plumbing fixtures (like toilets or other drains) backing up is a good indicator.
