Drain Cleaning — Fresno, CA
Need a drain cleaning in Fresno? You've got two real options: roll the dice on a Yelp listing, or call a shop that's been working in your zip code for a while. We're the second one. Our pricing's flat-rate, our techs are state-licensed, and our trucks have parts on them. Most jobs done the same visit.
Notes on Fresno housing stock
Around here, the most common calls we run come from older homes near the city center and newer subdivisions on the fringe — different problems, same crews.
What this service includes
Drain cleaning sits between simple kitchen-sink clogs and full sewer-line replacements. We do everything in between: tub drains, laundry standpipes, kitchen sinks, toilets, and main lines.
First call is always cable (also called snaking). For most kitchen and bath blockages, a cable hits the obstruction and clears it. Cost: $145 to $340 depending on access.
If the cable doesn't clear it — common with grease accumulation in older kitchen lines, or root invasion in main sewer lines — the next step is hydro-jetting at 4,000 PSI. That actually scours the pipe rather than punching a hole through the clog. Cost: $480 to $950, often with a camera inspection thrown in.
The camera tells you whether you have a recurring problem (cracked tile, belly in the line, foreign object) versus a one-off clog. It's worth doing on a third call to the same drain — that's when something structural is usually behind the clog.
Cost range
Kitchen sink cable runs $145 – $340. Toilet auger runs $180 – $260. Main sewer line cable runs $240 – $540. Hydro-jet + video camera inspection runs $480 – $950. Camera-only inspection runs $180 – $280.
A recent drain cleaning call
A Fresno customer in their 1980s home had been chasing a tub that never drained right since they moved in for weeks before calling. A kid's plastic toy lodged 18 inches into the trap arm was the actual cause. We pulled it out with a cable; everything stable since. About $220 all in.
