Kitchen, Bathroom & Main Line Drain Cleaning

A clog in a bathroom sink and a clog in your main line aren’t the same job. Kitchen drains usually deal with grease and food buildup, bathroom drains deal with hair and soap scum, and main line clogs can involve roots or years of buildup further down the pipe. Each one gets cleared differently, and we bring the right approach for where the problem actually is.

Not every slow drain is a simple clog. If a drain keeps backing up no matter how many times it’s cleared, that’s usually a sign of a bigger issue further down the line, and Joe will tell you that upfront instead of clearing the same drain over and over.

Drain Cleaning FAQ

What causes a drain to keep clogging?

Recurring clogs are usually caused by grease buildup, hair, or a partial blockage further down the line — sometimes roots in the main line. We diagnose the actual cause instead of just clearing the surface clog.

Can you clear a main line clog?

Yes, we clear clogs in kitchen, bathroom, and main line drains.

How long does drain cleaning take?

Most drain cleaning is completed in a single visit, though main line clogs can take longer depending on what’s causing them.

Is J&J Plumbing licensed?

Yes, J&J Plumbing holds California contractor license CSLB #1031629. You can verify this directly through the California Contractors State License Board, the state agency that licenses and regulates contractors in California.
