Drain Cleaning in Huntington Beach, CA

If you’re taking a shower and find yourself standing in inches of water, or the kitchen sink isn’t draining properly after washing the dishes, you likely have a clog. While some clogs can be fixed with DIY methods, stubborn clogs call for professional drain cleaning in Huntington Beach, CA. This is where PDS Plumbing and Air comes in. With our years of experience as a reliable plumber in the area, we understand the unique coastal plumbing challenges and have handled everything from routine plumbing maintenance to full drain emergencies. 

Fast, Reliable Drain Cleaning in Huntington Beach, CA

From simple hair blockages to complex tree root intrusions in your sewer lines, PDS Plumbing and Air has seen it all. When you contact our professional Huntington Beach plumbers, we get to the heart of the problem rather than just treat the symptoms. 

We arrive on site with a fully stocked truck carrying all the necessary tools and replacement parts, so we can fix the problem as quickly as possible. Whether you live in a beachfront condo or a newer development near Huntington Central Park, we’re familiar with the specific plumbing characteristics of each area.

Common Drain Problems in Huntington Beach Homes

Living near the beach comes with many perks, but also some very unique plumbing disadvantages:

  • Sand: We often find sand in drain line clogs, typically in shower drains and bathroom sinks. Sand is heavier than typical debris, so it accumulates at lower points in your plumbing and gradually restricts water flow.
  • Salt air and older pipes: Lots of Huntington Beach properties were built in the 1950s to 1970s, and the area’s coastal moisture contributes to corrosion in older metal pipes. Corroded pipes develop rough interior areas that can become clogged when debris collects.
  • Tree root intrusion: Tree roots thrive in a water source, such as a pipe with a small crack. Once this happens, the tree roots can nest within a pipe, creating a clog.  
  • Grease and oil: Grease and oil may be liquid when they go down a drain, but once they sit, they harden and line the pipe’s walls, creating tough clogs.
  • Hair and soap: Hair combined with soap scum, toothpaste, and personal care products creates dense, sticky clogs.

Professional Clogged Drain Repair & Maintenance

When it comes to drain cleaning in Huntington Beach, sometimes going the DIY route is not enough. Not knowing what you’re doing when fixing plumbing can lead to leaks and other damage.

PDS Plumbing and Air takes a diagnostic approach to drain cleaning. We assess the drainage problem and use a high-definition camera to see the issues, whether it’s a small clog, a tree root, or a broken pipe. Once we identify the problem, we use the most appropriate solution to provide fast, dependable results. 

While cleaning, we also assess the overall quality of your piping system and identify any other issues. Our Huntington Beach leak detection service helps find minor problems before they become major messes down the road. 

Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning

There are a few warning signs that you need professional clogged drain cleaning in Huntington Beach:

  • Multiple drains are clogged: If more than one of your drains is giving you problems, this usually means it’s a main line issue that needs to be checked by the pros.
  • Foul odors: Drain odors often indicate organic material slowly decomposing in your pipes, which requires a professional cleaning. If you smell sewage, it could be coming from your sewer line. 
  • Gurgling sounds: If you run water from a sink and hear gurgling from your toilet, air may be escaping from a blockage. 
  • Water backups: If you run one fixture and notice water backing up from another drain, this also points to a main sewer line issue. 
  • Recurring clogs: If you got rid of a clog using DIY methods, but it’s returned at the same location, this suggests the problem is bigger than a simple clog.

Drain Cleaning Methods We Use

At PDS Plumbing and Air, we match the drain cleaning method to the specific problem. Our professional methods include:

  • Video camera inspection: A waterproof camera travels down your drain to locate the clog or blockage. This eliminates any guesswork, so we can get started on the solution quickly.
  • Drain snaking: Our powerful drain snakes can extend hundreds of feet through drain lines, breaking through hair clogs, soap buildup, and minor root intrusions.
  • Hydro jetting: When drain snaking isn’t working, we use high-pressure water to blast through clogs or tree root intrusions and completely clean your pipes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my drains cleaned?

For most homes, annual drain cleaning is recommended. However, if you live in an older home with outdated pipes, consider scheduling a drain cleaning every six months to keep your plumbing running smoothly and check for potential issues.

Store-bought drain cleaners aren’t recommended, especially for older pipes. They usually contain harsh chemicals that eat away at the walls of your piping system. If you already have compromised pipes, using drain cleaners can make the problem worse.

A sewer line clog is a more involved job, so it will likely take longer and sometimes requires emergency drain cleaning services. The skilled plumbers at PDS Plumbing and Air are equipped to handle all types of sewer line clogs. 

Yes, tree root intrusion can happen again, especially if you have a large tree near your piping system. For long-term solutions, we may recommend root barriers, pipe lining, or, in severe cases, replacing your pipes with PVC pipes.
