A kitchen sink that drains slower every week, a shower that backs up mid-rinse, a floor drain that gurgles when the washer runs — these rarely fix themselves, and snaking the surface clog usually just buys a few weeks. Our South San Francisco drain team runs camera inspections to find the actual cause.
Every drain job in South San Francisco starts with a look inside the pipe, not a guess based on symptoms alone.
Our South San Francisco, CA drain crew is licensed and insured, trained specifically on camera equipment and hydro-jetting systems.
We keep drain-specific equipment on dedicated trucks so South San Francisco, CA dispatch doesn't need a special equipment run.
You'll get a price after the camera inspection, before any jetting or excavation work begins.
These are the drain issues we see most often across South San Francisco, each handled with the equipment built for that specific cause.
High-pressure water clears grease, sludge, and scale buildup from the inside of the pipe wall, not just punching a hole through the clog like a cable snake.
A waterproof camera is fed through the line to locate the exact blockage, a bellied section, or root intrusion before any tool touches the pipe.
Cable snaking is still the right call for a simple hair or debris clog close to the fixture.
Tree roots that have worked into a sewer or drain line get cut and cleared with a root-cutting head, then the line is reassessed for damage.
Commercial kitchens in South San Francisco, CA get grease trap service scheduled around operating hours to avoid disrupting service.
Scheduled jetting on problem lines keeps grease and scale from building back up between service visits.
Dispatch asks a few quick questions about the symptoms to route the right equipment on the first trip.
Our South San Francisco trucks carry both cable and jetting equipment, so a second trip is rarely needed.
The line gets camera-inspected, the actual blockage identified, and a flat price quoted before any clearing begins.
We re-run the camera after clearing so you can see the difference, backed by a workmanship warranty on the service.
