Drain Cleaning in Burbank & Los Angeles
Sink filling up, shower ankle-deep, gurgling toilet. We clear the line today and show you why it clogged.
What is drain cleaning?
Drain cleaning is the removal of whatever is blocking the pipe between your fixture and the main sewer line. In a kitchen it is usually cooled grease and food coating the inside of the pipe until the opening is the width of a pencil. In a bathroom it is hair bound up with soap scum. In a laundry line it is lint and detergent sludge.
You do not need to know which one it is. You call, we come out, and we open the nearest cleanout so the work happens outside the finished part of your house instead of on top of your cabinets.
We use a drum cable machine for most household branch lines and step up to high-pressure water for lines coated in grease. The cable cuts a path through the blockage. Water scours the pipe wall back to its full diameter. Which one your line needs depends on what is in it, and we tell you before we charge you.
Store-bought drain chemicals are the one thing worth avoiding. They sit in the trap, heat up, and eat older pipe and rubber gaskets without touching a solid clog. If you already poured some in, tell the plumber so he can protect himself.
How does it work?
- 1
Locate the right access point
We find the cleanout that serves the failing fixture. Working from a cleanout keeps cable and water out of your sink cabinet and off your floor.
- 2
Match the machine to the clog
Hair and soap in a 1.5-inch bath line takes a small cable head. A 2-inch kitchen line packed with grease takes a bigger drum or a jetter nozzle. Wrong tool, and the clog reopens in a month.

Cut through and pull back
The head is fed to the blockage and worked through it, then retrieved so we can see what came out. Roots, wipes, grease, a kid's toothbrush — you get told what it was.

Flow test and camera if needed
We run water hard for several minutes to confirm the line takes full volume. If the drain has clogged repeatedly, we camera it so you can see whether the pipe itself is bellied, scaled, or broken.
Reviews
What neighbors say about our drain cleaning work
“Kitchen sink would not drain the night before Mother's Day. They came out, pulled a rope of grease out of the line, and cleaned up the cabinet before they left.”
“Shower had been slow for a year. Twenty minutes with a cable and it drains like new. He showed me the hair mass so I would know it was not the pipe failing.”
“Quoted the price on the phone, held it at the door, no add-ons. Rare in this trade.”
