Drain Cleaning & Unclogging

Fast, Reliable Drain Services in San Diego

Clogged drains are more than just a nuisance—they can lead to foul odors, water damage, and even plumbing emergencies if left untreated. At Pipe Patrol Plumbing, we provide expert drain cleaning and unclogging services for homes and businesses across San Diego. Whether it’s your kitchen sink, bathroom drain, or main sewer line, we’ll get things flowing smoothly again. We use professional-grade tools and proven techniques to clear out buildup, grease, hair, and debris without damaging your pipes. Our goal is to fix the problem fast and prevent it from coming back.

Why Drain Cleaning Matters

Over time, drains naturally collect gunk—soap scum, food waste, oil, and more. Without proper cleaning, these materials harden and restrict flow, causing slow drainage or total blockages. DIY solutions might help temporarily, but they often miss deeper clogs or cause long-term pipe damage.

Our team doesn’t just clear the clog—we clean the entire drain system thoroughly to restore proper flow and avoid future backups.

Grease, food particles, and dish soap can quickly build up and block your sink. We’ll break through the gunk and restore full drainage without harming your pipes.

Bathroom Drains

Hair, soap, and toothpaste commonly clog showers, tubs, and sinks. We’ll safely remove the blockage and leave everything running smoothly.

Toilet Unclogging

Floor & Utility Drains

Basement or garage drain backing up? We clear debris and buildup from floor drains to prevent flooding and water damage.

Main Sewer Line Cleaning

Sewer line clogs can cause serious problems inside your home. We diagnose the blockage using camera inspection and clear it using hydro-jetting or other specialized tools.

Our Process

1. Inspection
We begin with a visual inspection or drain camera (if needed) to locate the blockage and determine the cause.

2. Professional Cleaning
Using advanced tools like augers, snakes, or hydro-jetting, we clear the clog safely and efficiently.

3. Testing & Clean-Up
We confirm that water is flowing freely and clean up the workspace before we leave.

4. Preventative Tips
We’ll share tips to help you avoid future clogs, like what to avoid putting down your drains and when to consider routine cleaning.
