THE DETAILS, WHEN YOU NEED THEM
For minor clogs, a plunger or drain snake will work. Skip the chemical drain cleaners; they damage pipes and rarely solve the real problem. If snaking doesn't work or clogs keep coming back, you need professional cleaning to fix the underlying issue.
If you have recurring clogs in the same drain, something is wrong. It could be a root intrusion, pipe damage, or another issue that requires professional attention. For honest guidance, call (916) 909-4083 to discuss your property and what you’re experiencing with our team of drain experts.
Recurring clogs usually stem from bigger problems, such as tree roots in the sewer line, pipe damage, improper slope, or buildup that snaking can't reach. When you partner with JR Putman Plumbing, Heating & Air, we can use drain cameras to find the real cause of your plumbing woes.
Dry P-traps are the most common cause. To solve this issue, run water in unused drains.
Other causes include:
If running water in all your drains doesn't eliminate the smell, call us.
Yes, they contain harsh chemicals that can eat away at pipes, especially older materials. They often don't fully clear clogs, either. Instead, they’ll open a small channel that will eventually become blocked. Mechanical cleaning done by a pro is safer for your plumbing system and more effective.
If multiple drains throughout your home are experiencing backups at once, the issue may involve the main sewer line. This should be inspected by a professional ASAP.
We use a motorized snake that can cut through roots and clear significant blockages. For tough jobs, we use hydro-jetting, which scours the pipe walls clean with high-pressure water.
Most drain cleaning appointments can be completed within a few hours, although more complex blockages or sewer line issues may require additional time. We’ll let you know exactly what to expect.

After the assessment, we’ll tell you what it’ll take to clear the blockage. We’ll also provide upfront, flat-rate pricing. There’s no guesswork with us.
For persistent or especially serious drain issues, we can conduct a camera inspection.
Generally, we’ll do this when:
Our camera technologies show us exactly what’s going on in drains. You can also see the video, so you won’t have to just take our word for it when we tell you there’s damage or blockages in your plumbing system.
For most clogs, we’ll use drain cables, which cut through buildup, pull out debris, and effectively clear lines. When a blockage is especially serious, we’ll go with hydro jetting. This utilized high-pressure water to scour the inside of a pipe. For specific toilets, we may use a closet auger. This can get past the trap without scratching the porcelain.
Regardless of the method, we’ll make sure your drain is flowing as if it were new.
Yes, we can help you solve today’s problem. But you deserve lasting peace of mind. That’s why we’ll provide honest, straightforward recommendations for preventing future clogs.
