A clogged drain is one of the most common plumbing calls we get. Whether it is a slow kitchen sink, a backed-up shower, or a main sewer line blockage affecting every fixture in the house, we have the equipment and experience to clear it fast and tell you why it happened.
S&E Plumbing uses cable machines for standard clogs, hydrojetting for heavy buildup and root clearing, and HD sewer cameras to inspect the line after cleaning. We don't just clear the symptom. We show you the condition of your pipes so you can make informed decisions about repairs or preventative maintenance.
Drain cleaning vs. sewer line repair: This page covers drain cleaning services for clogs and blockages. If your sewer line has structural damage (cracks, root intrusion, collapsed pipe), visit our sewer line repair and replacement page for repair and replacement options.
Drain and Sewer Services in Orange County
From a single clogged sink to a main line backup, we handle every drain issue.
Kitchen Drain Cleaning in Orange County
Kitchen drains clog from grease, food debris, and soap buildup. Over time, these deposits narrow the pipe and restrict flow. We use cable machines and hydrojetting to clear kitchen drain blockages and restore full flow. For recurring kitchen clogs, a camera inspection can reveal whether the problem is buildup, a pipe issue, or an improper slope.
Bathroom Drain Cleaning in Orange County
Shower drains, bathtub drains, and bathroom sink drains clog from hair, soap scum, and mineral buildup. We clear the blockage and check the line condition. If your bathroom drains are slow throughout the house, the problem may be in the main line rather than individual fixtures.
Main Sewer Line Cleaning in Orange County
When multiple fixtures are slow or backing up at the same time, the main sewer line is usually the problem. We access the main line through your cleanout and use cable machines or hydrojetting to clear the blockage. A sewer camera inspection after cleaning shows us the condition of the pipe and whether the blockage will recur.
Hydrojetting in Orange County
Hydrojetting uses a high-pressure water jet (3,000 to 4,000 PSI) to scour the inside of drain and sewer pipes, removing grease, scale, mineral buildup, and tree roots. It is the most thorough cleaning method available and is the best option for heavily scaled cast iron pipes and recurring root intrusion in clay sewer lines.
Sewer Camera Inspection in Orange County
We insert an HD camera into the drain or sewer line and record video of the entire length. The camera shows us exactly what is causing the problem: grease buildup, root intrusion, a belly in the line, an offset joint, scale, or a collapsed section. You see the footage with us in real time. Camera inspections are also recommended before buying a home.
