Bathroom sinks, tubs and showers
Bathroom drains slow down when hair and soap scum pile up in the trap and just beyond it. We pull that buildup out, then test with running water to see the drain empty properly.
Drain Cleaning in Chula Vista
Gurgling, slow emptying and water coming back up all mean something is partly or fully blocking the pipe. We clear it from sinks, tubs, showers, laundry hookups and main drains, and use a camera when the cause stays hidden.
Let us know which fixtures are slow and whether more than one is affected, because a single slow fixture and a whole slow house have different causes.
Drains we clear
Kitchen drains
Kitchen sinks clog where cooled grease has lined the pipe and scraps have caught in it. Clearing comes first, and a camera then shows if the pipe is damaged.
The main line
When every fixture in the house drains slowly, or water rises in a tub as you run the washer, the blockage is in the main line. That calls for a larger tool than a sink needs.
Camera inspections
Sent down the pipe on a flexible cable, a small camera shows roots, breaks, sags and buildup. That view of the inside of the line takes the guesswork out of choosing a repair.
Keeping drains running
A strainer in the shower and tub, a basket in the kitchen sink and a bin for grease instead of the drain all help. Flushing only toilet paper keeps the main line clearer. None of it replaces a clearing visit when a drain is already slow.
When the clog is past your property line
Under Chula Vista Council Policy 570-01, a stoppage found in the public sewer, at the connection or caused by a street tree must be reported to the City within 48 hours of the time its location is identified. The owner maintains the lateral from the connection to the building.
If a drain keeps clogging after it has been cleared, read the sewer line repair page. Worn parts under a sink are on fixture repair, and every other service is listed on the homepage.
