Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer same-day drain cleaning in Nicasio?

Yes – we provide same-day drain cleaning throughout Nicasio and West Marin whenever scheduling allows. As a licensed contractor (#501853), we arrive with cameras and drain machines to clear the clog and find its cause in one visit.

My house is on a septic system – can you still handle a clogged drain or sewer line?

Absolutely. Most Nicasio homes are on septic, so we routinely clear lines running to the tank and tell you whether the problem is the line, a full tank, or the drainfield – not just snake it and leave.

What usually causes sewer line clogs on older Nicasio properties?

Tree-root intrusion is the top cause out here, since oak, bay, and redwood roots find their way into aging clay or older laterals. We camera the line to confirm roots versus a crack or sag, then recommend hydro-jetting or sewer repair as needed.

Do I need sewer repair or just a cleaning?

A camera inspection tells us for sure – light root or grease buildup often just needs cleaning, while cracked, root-split, or collapsed pipe needs sewer repair. We show you the footage so you’re not paying to dig blind.

What does sewer line cleaning cost and what’s involved?

Price will depend on factors like the access to the drain line and the size of the blockage. Our plumbers can give you a clear estimate before any work begins after investigating the issue. Most clogs can be cleared within a day using snaking or hydrojetting.

Is hydro-jetting safe for my plumbing?

Hydro-jetting might not be the best option for older piping material that is prone to damage. Otherwise, it is typically a reliable drain clearing method.

When should I call a professional for a clogged drain?

Contact a plumbing professional if you have clogs in multiple drains, a clog that keeps returning, or wastewater is backing up into your home.

Why are multiple drains in my house draining slowly?

It is a sign that there is a clog in the main line affecting your plumbing as a whole if multiple home drains are clogging at once.

What should I do if sewage is backing up into my bathtub?

Call a plumber immediately after turning off the water and removing what you can from the area. Do not use any plumbing in the meantime until the issue has been resolved.
