Frequently Asked Questions

How much does drain cleaning in Sausalito cost?

It depends on whether you have a simple fixture clog or a main-line issue, which is why we camera-inspect first and quote before any work. We offer same-day service throughout Sausalito and Marin, and you’ll get a clear price up front — no surprises.

Do I need a full sewer replacement, or can the line be repaired?

Often a spot repair or trenchless lining handles a single offset or root intrusion, and a full sewer replacement is only needed when the lateral has failed in multiple places. Our camera inspection shows you exactly which one your Sausalito home needs before you commit to anything.

Why does my clogged drain keep coming back after snaking?

On Sausalito’s hillside lots, a recurring clog usually means roots, grease buildup, or a bellied section in an aging clay or cast-iron lateral that a cable just pushes through. Hydro-jetting plus a camera inspection finds and clears the real cause so it stays fixed.

Can you handle the sewer lateral inspection when I’m buying or selling in Sausalito?

Yes — we perform camera lateral inspections and provide the documentation commonly required at point of sale in Marin. We’re licensed (CA #501853) and can usually schedule same-day so escrow doesn’t slip.

How fast can you handle a clogged drain or sewer backup in Sausalito?

We do our best to answer any sewer emergency with same-day service in Sausalito. Our trucks come equipped with drain snaking, rooter, and hydrojetting equipment for every sewer and drain job.

Can hydro-jetting fix a clogged drain caused by tree roots?

Usually, yes. Hydrojetting uses a strong blast of water to completely clear the entire drain of root and debris buildup, rather than simply punching a hole through the blockage like a typical drain snake would.

What is the difference between drain cleaning and sewer cleaning?

Drain cleaning focuses on cleaning out a singular plumbing fixture drain, while sewer cleaning tackles the larger sewer line that leads to multiple drains.

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

When this happens, it is important to immediately stop using the plumbing and turn off the water in the house. Contact an emergency plumber right away and clear away what items you can from the area.

Why are multiple drains in my house draining slowly?

This might be happening due to a larger clog in the main sewer line that is affecting multiple plumbing fixtures in your home.
