About Us

What this service is

CA Drain Cleaning Crew is a referral service. We connect homeowners, landlords, property managers and businesses across California with independent local drain cleaning technicians. We do not employ the technicians who come to your door, and the work is performed by independent contractors who set up their own visits and carry their own equipment.

We focus on one thing. Kitchen and bathroom drains, toilets, tubs and showers, laundry lines, building drains and the sewer lateral out to the street, and the camera work that shows what is happening inside the pipe. That narrow focus means the people we connect you with spend their days on exactly this kind of problem, whether it is roots in an old clay lateral, a tract-home line that keeps backing up, or grease in a restaurant line.

What happens when you call

A person answers, at any hour. They ask which drains are affected and whether more than one is involved, roughly when the home was built, whether it sits on a slab or a raised foundation, and whether you know where the cleanout is. Those answers help us choose a technician with the right equipment: a cable machine, a hydro jetter, a camera reel, and help the technician arrive prepared.

We then connect you with an independent technician who works in your area. They explain what they think is going on, tell you the price before any work begins, and clear the line. Where the history suggests it is worth it, they run a camera through the line afterwards so you can see what you actually have. Any workmanship terms come from the technician who performs the work.

What we are honest about

Drain work is full of unknowns until something is inside the pipe. A technician can tell you what a symptom usually means, but only a camera shows what is there. We will not tell you that your line is made of any particular material, that roots will not return, or that cleaning will fix a pipe that is failing. If a camera shows something beyond cleaning, the technician can explain what they saw and what your options are.

Where we work

We connect callers across 560 cities and communities in 50 counties, beginning with Orange County, Los Angeles County and the Inland Empire, and reaching San Diego, the Central Coast, the Bay Area, the Sacramento Valley and the San Joaquin Valley. California’s homes differ a great deal from region to region, and so do their drains, which is why each place we cover has its own page. Start with Areas We Cover or browse Our Services.

How we think about the work

A drain call is rarely a surprise to the line. A bungalow with a clay lateral and a mature street tree has a predictable history; so does a slab tract home with cast iron under the floor, or a hillside house with a long run and several cleanouts. We write about those situations in plain language so you can understand what is going on before the technician arrives. For anything you want to ask, call us, we do not use forms or chat.
