"Everything went fine. RJ and Angel were promptly on the job. They explained what they were going to do. During the cleaning process they showed me the progress via their sewer line camera. I am very pleased with the work and appreciated their professionalism."

"MAKE IT DRAIN responded immediately to my request and we set up an appointment that worked with my schedule. They were great on communication before, during and after service. Immediate drain clog was cleared in accordance with my Angie's List coupon deal. The technician was up front in saying my old house may need more extensive service in future."

"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 know it might seem like giving 5 stars for everything is just a lazy review. But these guys truly are exceptional. Had a few quotes given, theirs was honest and very fair. They did the work quickly, even adding some additional safety measures without charging. We will definitely use them again for any plumbing needs. They installed cleaning tubes in our front yard so we could more easily access our main pipes which regularly clog."

"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."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

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.

Clogged pipes are one of the top signs your water heater is about to fail. Potential symptoms of excess sediment buildup include not enough hot water, leaks, unusual noises, low water pressure, and discoloration or odors in the water.

You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.

It takes hair about two years to dissolve on its own in the drain without the use of any tool or help. Fortunately, using a drain snake, plunger, or any of the actions mentioned above to dissolve the hair will help get rid of the clog in as little as 15 minutes. 

If you want to avoid using a snake to unclog a drain, or if you don’t have one, try vinegar and baking soda. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Wait for 15 minutes, and then run hot water (but not boiling water) down the drain to see if the clog is clear. Repeat multiple times as needed.
