"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."

"Hired twice already. He reliable, communicative, and trustworthy. He came to replace my garbage disposal and then there was a leak in a bedroom that he took care of as much as possible. Will have his number on the fridge from now on. Thank you Daniel!"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I highly recommend Fix It Quick Plumbing! They were able to get me scheduled the very next day after I called, and they showed up right on time. They did a fantastic job, were extremely reasonably priced, and were willing to work with me on the price, which I really appreciated. Armando was especially great — very personable, helpful, and informative throughout the whole process. He took pride in his work and even left my bathroom absolutely sparkling clean when he was finished. You honestly couldn’t even tell someone had just been working in there. Great service, great communication, fair pricing, and an excellent job from start to finish. I’ll definitely be calling Fix It Quick Plumbing again if I need anything in the future!"

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

That pungent rotten egg smell coming from your drain is likely the buildup of biofilm—hair, skin, and soap scum that turns into a black sticky mess. In this case, pouring down near-boiling water, baking soda, and white vinegar will remove the smell. Keep in mind that a rotten egg smell is occasionally a sign of larger sewage line clogs and other related issues.

It’ll take 20 to 30 minutes to unclog a sewer line using a drain snake or drain cleaner. If you hire a professional, you should expect them to be on-site for three hours or less. In addition to clearing the clog, they’ll do other routine inspections, which adds to the overall time (and cost) required.

There is conflicting advice on whether to leave a baking soda and vinegar mixture in a drain overnight. Some sources suggest it can be effective for tough clogs, recommending that you flush the drain with warm water in the morning as part of a monthly cleaning routine. However, other experts advise against leaving the mixture in for extended periods, as its caustic nature could corrode drainpipes if used too often or left in for too long.

Inspect regularly for clogs, clean drain lines, and ensure grading directs water away from the foundation.

It can take anywhere from half an hour to a few hours to fix a main line clog, depending on the cause and severity of it. The job should not take more than a day to complete. Keep in mind that the main line is not the same as your home’s sewer lines (which connect to the main line and run to your house). Your city is responsible for any clogs or damage to the main line itself.
