Your Drain Cleaning & Unclogging Team in Elk Grove

Most clogs come from grease and food in the kitchen, hair and soap scum in the bathroom, or tree roots working their way into older sewer lines underground. We don't guess — we start by snaking the line, and if the clog keeps coming back, we run a camera down the pipe to see exactly what's going on. When grease, scale, or root intrusion is the problem, we use high-pressure hydro-jetting to scour the inside of the pipe clean instead of just punching a small hole through the blockage.

You'll get honest, upfront pricing before we start, same-day appointments most of the time, and 24/7 emergency service for backups that can't wait. We also clean up the work area before wrapping up — no mess left behind.

We serve Elk Grove and the surrounding Sacramento County communities — same crews, same pricing, same standards.

Why Elk Grove Trusts The Water Works

Since 1985, The Water Works has cleared thousands of drains across Greater Sacramento. Our plumbers know the local pipe materials — from 1960s clay sewer lines in East Sacramento to modern PVC in newer Folsom developments — and we carry commercial-grade drain snakes and hydro-jetting equipment on every truck. We don't just punch a hole through the clog; we camera-inspect the line, show you what we find, and explain why it happened so it doesn't come back next month.

Clogged drain service in Elk Grove

Whether it's a kitchen sink that drains like molasses or a toilet that won't clear, a clogged drain in Elk Grove gets the same approach: we snake the line first, and if the blockage recurs or feels like more than hair and grease, we run a camera to see the actual cause before recommending anything else.

Hydro jetting and sewer cleaning

Snaking punches a hole; hydro jetting scours the pipe wall. For grease-lined kitchen lines, scale in older galvanized drains, and root-infiltrated sewer laterals common in older Elk Grove homes, high-pressure jetting restores the full diameter of the pipe instead of buying you a few weeks.

Drain snaking vs. camera inspection — when each makes sense

A one-time clog usually just needs a cable. A drain that backs up every few months needs a camera. Seeing the line tells us whether you're dealing with a belly in the pipe, a cracked joint, or roots — and it keeps you from paying for repeat drain snaking that was never going to hold.
