Drain Cleaning in Los Angeles — ABC Plumbing Los Angeles
Drain cleaning is a licensed plumbing procedure that removes blockages from kitchen, bathroom and main sewer lines using professional-grade equipment including drain snakes, hydro-jetting machines and video inspection cameras. ABC Plumbing Los Angeles offers same-day drain cleaning throughout the LA area.
What Is Professional Drain Cleaning?
Professional drain cleaning is the complete removal of blockages and build-up from your home's drain system using licensed plumbing equipment. Unlike store-bought drain chemicals that can corrode pipes and only partially dissolve clogs, professional drain cleaning physically removes the obstruction and restores full flow capacity.
In Los Angeles, the most common drain problems are kitchen grease build-up, bathroom hair and soap scum clogs, and tree root intrusion in older clay sewer lines. ABC Plumbing has the equipment and experience to handle every type of drain blockage in LA County homes.
John Smith and his team have cleared thousands of drains in Los Angeles, Santa Monica and Burbank. We use camera inspection on all main sewer line calls to diagnose the exact cause before recommending a solution — saving customers money by fixing the right problem the first time.

Our Drain Cleaning Process
- 1. Drain assessment: We confirm which drains are affected and whether the blockage is isolated or in the main sewer line.
- 2. Camera inspection (main line calls): For sewer line issues, we run a waterproof camera through the line to pinpoint the exact location and cause of the blockage.
- 3. Drain snake or hydro-jetting: Isolated drain clogs are cleared with a motorised drain snake. Main line blockages and grease build-up are removed with our hydro-jetting machine.
- 4. Flow test and verification: We run water through every cleared drain and verify full flow before completing the job.
- 5. Prevention advice: John provides specific recommendations to prevent the same clog from recurring based on what caused it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Signs include slow-draining sinks or tubs, gurgling sounds from drains, recurring clogs despite plunging, sewage smell from drains, or multiple drains backing up simultaneously. Multiple clogged drains usually indicate a main sewer line blockage requiring professional hydro-jetting.
Hydro-jetting uses a high-pressure water stream to scour pipe walls clean of grease, mineral scale and root intrusions. For older Los Angeles homes with cast iron or clay sewer lines, ABC Plumbing first performs a camera inspection to confirm the pipe can handle the pressure before jetting.
A standard kitchen or bathroom drain cleaning takes 30 to 60 minutes. Main sewer line cleaning with hydro-jetting typically takes 1 to 2 hours. ABC Plumbing provides a time estimate before starting any work.
