Drain Cleaning Services in Concord, CA
Professional drain clog repair in greater Contra Costa County
Do you have slow running drains? Are you standing in an inch or two of water every time you take a shower? These are hard to miss signs that you need a drain clearing.
You might be tempted to use a chemical cleaner like Drano or Liquid Plumr, but we advise against this. Those cleaners use environmentally dangerous solvents and corrosive acids to break up clogs. Our Concord drain cleaning team uses tried and true mechanical methods and, when necessary, pressurized water cleaning with a hydrojet. This allows us to provide a safer, more effective drain cleaning than anything possible with a home handyman toolkit.
Common Signs of A Clogged Drain
Before you call for blocked drain services, you will likely notice some telltale signs that your drains need attention. Some of the most common include water backing up out of your home’s drains, the smell of sewage around your drains, or certain drains overflowing when you run water in a different part of the house. Slow or sluggish drains should also receive a call for professional drain cleaning before the problem becomes worse. So, whether you need rooter service in Alamo or Bay Point, Plumbing Solutions should be the first to know about it.
Our Plumbers Can Unclog Any Drain in Your Home
Our master bedroom sinks wouldn’t drain and not being sure which plumber service to call I looked on Yelp and noticed the great reviews for Plumbing Solutions. I contacted them and was able to make a same day appointment.
Joel actually came a bit early; which for me worked out great. He was very courteous and professional and fixed the problem in a matter of moments. I’m very happy with their service and will definitely be calling them the next time we have another plumbing crisis.
What Causes Household Drain Clogs?
There are several different causes of a clogged drain, and almost all of them have to do with homeowners allowing items into drains that shouldn’t be there. These include cooking grease, food particles, paper towels, and hair in tubs and showers. According to the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, grease blockages are the second leading cause of all sewer overflows, so be sure to limit the amount of grease that goes down your drain if your drain or sewer lateral is prone to clogging.
One cause that doesn’t have to do with the homeowner is tree roots. These will often grow toward the nearest water source and can penetrate pipes, causing a serious clog.

Clogged Drain Video Inspection & Repair
When you have a single toilet, sink, or tub clog, it is easy for us to diagnose the problem. Something has gotten jammed up in the pipes between the drain and the main drain line. Usually, the clog is just a few feet down the line and our drain snake can crank through it.
Busting through the clog will open the drain up, but may not clear the pipe completely. If you drain continues to run slowly, we may use our fiber optic camera to look into the pipes to determine the issue.
Sometimes it is just a bit of gunk sticking tight to the pipes, others it’s a metal spur or piece of plastic. Whatever it is, we’ll get it fixed right away.
What If All of Your Drains Are Slow?
If all of the drains in your home are running slow, you have a problem with your main drain line. There are a number of things that could cause this from tree roots breaking through to a build-up of grease from the kitchen. We never attempt a mainline clearing without first taking a look with our cameras. Once we locate the cause of the problem, our Concord plumbers will explain your options. If we see several breaks in the line, we may suggest a trenchless sewer installation, but usually, we can clear the clog with a motorized snake or hydrojet. Hydrojetting is more expensive, but it will leave the interior of your drain as clean as it was the day it was installed.

Commercial Grade Drain Cleaning & Sewer Jetting
Cleaning our a commercial drain takes a little extra care and more powerful equipment. The need for minimized downtime, the potential disruption to business, and the risk of liability from customers means there is no time to wait.
The good news is that our team relies on some of the industry’s best water jetting equipment to handle your property’s worst clogs. The biggest piece of equipment in our arsenal is the Spartan Soldier trailer jetter, which can blast water with up to 3,000 PSI deep within your drain or sewer line. This pressure not only fixes ongoing clogs, but can help break down the built-up debris and prevent future clogs, as well.
For clogs that aren’t accessible by a trailer-mounted jetter, or in situations where your pipes are not built to withstand the pressure, we also offer a variety of enzymatic and manual drain cleaning methods. No matter what kind of clog you have, or where it is, we can handle it.
