Recurring clogs are almost always a symptom, not the problem itself — grease buildup, root intrusion, or a bellied line. Our Palo Alto, CA drain technicians diagnose before they clear, so the fix actually holds.
Every drain job in Palo Alto starts with a look inside the pipe, not a guess based on symptoms alone.
Our Palo Alto, CA drain crew is licensed and insured, trained specifically on camera equipment and hydro-jetting systems.
Trucks stocked with jetting and camera equipment are staged around Palo Alto so a backed-up drain doesn't sit for days.

Tree roots that have worked into a sewer or drain line get cut and cleared with a root-cutting head, then the line is reassessed for damage.
