Water pooling in your sink? A weird smell from the shower? That gurgle you hear in the tub? These are all signs your system needs help — and a solid sewer and drain cleaning in Sacramento can fix it.
At Golden Valley Plumbing, we’ve helped hundreds of local homeowners and renters clean out tough blockages and keep their plumbing flowing. Some clogs are surface-level. Others go deep. We handle both.
Why Clean Drains Matter (More Than You Think)
A slow drain might seem like a small problem. But left alone, it leads to bigger issues:
Overflow. Water damage. Pipe damage. Smells you can’t shake.
We’ve seen clogs caused by everything from grease and hair to toys and tree roots. If you’ve already tried the plunger and store-bought chemicals — and the issue keeps coming back — it’s time to call a pro.
That’s where we come in with reliable sewer drain cleaning in Sacramento that goes beyond a surface fix.
How We Handle Sewer & Drain Cleaning Jobs
Every home’s setup is different, but here’s what a typical job might involve:
- Clearing buildup with a professional-grade sewer drain cleaner
- Using hydro jetting to blast away deep clogs and gunk
- Doing full drain sewer cleaning to restore normal flow
- Checking for long-term issues that could cause repeat problems
We serve homes, rentals, and even small businesses throughout the Sacramento area. And yes — we clean up after ourselves.
DIY Drain Fixes Don’t Always Last
You might be tempted to pour a bottle of something down the sink and hope for the best. We’ve all done it. But most over-the-counter cleaners only punch a hole through the clog — they don’t fix the whole issue.
Worse, they can damage old pipes or make things worse over time.
Hiring a pro for sewer and drain cleaning Sacramento means:
- It’s done right the first time
- We check the whole system, not just one drain
- We don’t make the problem worse
- You’ll get honest advice — no upsells

FAQ
Q1: My whole house is draining slow—sink, tub, and toilet. What does that mean?
When multiple fixtures act up, it usually points to a main sewer line issue, not just a small branch drain. We’ll diagnose first, then clear the main safely.
Q2: Do I need a snake or hydro-jetting? What’s the difference?
A snake (cable) cuts a path through clogs (roots, wipes, grease). Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the pipe wall clean—best for heavy grease, scale, and recurring blockages. We recommend the right method after a quick assessment.
Q3: Will you use a sewer camera?
If you’re having repeat clogs, foul odors, or we suspect roots, broken pipe, or a “belly,” we recommend a camera inspection. You can watch the screen while we locate and mark the exact problem.
Q4: What causes sewer clogs in Sacramento homes?
Common culprits: tree roots (especially in older clay/cast-iron laterals), grease from kitchens, flushable wipes (not really flushable), scale buildup, and sagging sections (“bellies”). Seasonal rains can highlight existing problems, too.
Q5: Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?
We don’t recommend them. They’re harsh on pipes, unsafe to handle, and rarely fix a main line clog. Mechanical cleaning or jetting is safer and more effective.
Q6: How fast can you come out? Do you do emergencies?
Yes—same-day and emergency service for Sacramento and nearby cities. We’ll give you an arrival window and text/call when we’re on the way.
Q7: How much does sewer or drain cleaning cost?
Price depends on the line length, access points, severity (roots/grease), and whether a camera or jetter is needed. We provide a clear, written quote before work and go over options so there are no surprises.
Q8: Will the clog come back?
If the clog was from roots, heavy grease, or a damaged pipe, it can recur. A camera inspection lets us plan prevention—routine maintenance, spot repair, or trenchless options.
Q9: Can you install a cleanout to make future service easier?
Absolutely. A proper exterior cleanout gives safer access, faster clearing, and better camera visibility. It often lowers future service costs.
Q10: Who’s responsible—me or the city?
Homeowners are typically responsible for the building sewer (lateral) from the house to the property line/cleanout; the city maintains the street main. We can help identify the boundary for your address and document findings.
Q11: Will you protect my home and clean up after?
Yes. We use floor protection, shoe covers, drop cloths, and disinfect touch points. We remove debris and leave the area tidy.
Q12: How do I prevent future clogs?
Skip grease and wipes, use sink strainers, run hot water after greasy dishes, and consider annual maintenance or a camera check if you’ve had recurring issues—especially in older neighborhoods with mature trees.
Q13: Do you offer trenchless repair if my line is broken?
Yes. If the camera finds a break or collapsed section, we can discuss trenchless lining or pipe bursting to minimize digging.
Q14: What areas do you serve?
Sacramento, Elk Grove, Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, Rancho Cordova, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks, Carmichael, Antelope, Granite Bay, Orangevale, Lincoln, Loomis, West Sacramento, Woodland, Davis, Rio Linda, North Highlands, Elverta, and nearby.
Q15: Do you warranty your work?
We stand behind our work with a written workmanship warranty. Details (and any clog-free period) are included in your estimate.
