Contact California Drain Cleaning — Sewer Line Service Statewide

A straightforward cable clearance from an accessible cleanout typically runs $150 to $350, hydro jetting $400 to $750, and a camera survey $175 to $350. Cast iron descaling and commercial work are considerably more. Costs run higher in the Bay Area and coastal cities than in the Central Valley, and city permit requirements vary. We quote in writing before starting.

If more than one fixture is affected, or if water comes up somewhere when you run water somewhere else, it is the main lateral. A single slow sink is a branch problem. In a slab-on-grade home the main line usually shows itself in a ground-floor shower or tub, because that drain sits lowest.

Stop using water everywhere in the building, including washing machines and dishwashers, and stop flushing. Every gallon added has to surface somewhere inside. Keep people and pets clear, and stay away from it if it has reached electrical equipment. Then call (866) 811-8305.

In the East Bay you may. Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, Albany, Emeryville, Piedmont, El Cerrito and Kensington operate under a regional private sewer lateral ordinance requiring a certificate showing the lateral is leak-free before many sales and remodels can close, and Berkeley runs its own programme as well. We survey the line first so you know whether it will pass before you pay for a test.
