Drain cleaning and blockages
Kitchen sinks, tubs, toilets, floor drains, and the main line when the whole house backs up.
Snaking, jetting, main line clogs.
Plumber in Pasadena
Need a plumber in Pasadena for a drain that keeps backing up? We clear it first, then show you why it keeps coming back.
We answer day and night, every day, including weekends and holidays.
Many of Pasadena's houses are old, and so are the drains under them. Clearing a blockage is the easy part. Knowing what is going on inside the pipe is the useful part, and that is the part we put in front of you.
Drain cleaning and rooter service in Pasadena
A line that blocks again a few weeks after it was cleared usually has a problem with the pipe, not only with what is in it. Roots work into the joints of old clay. Cast iron corrodes and scales on the inside until the opening is narrow.
A rooter cable gets the water moving again. To see why it stopped, we run a camera, and you sit beside us and watch the picture as it travels. See drain cleaning and sewer line repair.
Craftsman bungalows and postwar ranch houses
The Craftsman bungalows of Bungalow Heaven and the postwar ranch houses of Hastings Ranch were built decades apart, and their pipes show it. A Craftsman from the 1910s may still drain through its original cast iron and clay. Galvanized supply pipe, which narrows on the inside as it ages, turns up in houses well into the postwar years. What goes wrong in houses here has pictures of both.
Tell us what you can see and what you can hear, and we will tell you what it most likely is.
A 24-hour plumber in Pasadena
When roots finally close an old sewer line, the backup comes out of the lowest drain in the house, often a shower or a floor drain. Hold off on the washer and the dishwasher until the line is open, since whatever goes down comes back up there. More on our emergency plumbing page.
Choosing a plumbing company in Pasadena
Ask any plumbing company how its price is put together. Ours comes in one of three forms. Work that does not change once the wall is open gets a fixed price. When we know the work but not how much of it, you get a range with a top and a bottom. And a problem nobody can see yet gets no number until someone has seen it. How we price it goes through each one.
What happens after you call
- You call, or you send us what is wrong.A sentence and a ZIP is enough to start.
- We tell you when we can be there, and we give you a window.Same day, and we tell you the window before we set off so you are not waiting around all afternoon.
- If that window moves, you hear it from us before it moves.Not after you have waited through it.
- We look. Then we tell you what we found, in plain words, while we are still there.Not in a report that arrives the next day.
- You decide what happens next.Including deciding to do nothing yet.
Pasadena questions
Can I see my sewer line before I agree to replace it?
Yes. You watch the camera with us, and the findings come to you in writing, with photographs.
On a big job, get another quote before you decide. The price we gave you stands while you do.
What does rooter service in Pasadena cost?
We do not quote it blind. Clearing a main line is priced as a range, and you get the top and the bottom of it before we start. Coming out to look costs you nothing.
What we fix
Most of the calls we get are about one of these. We do the rest of it too.

Under a sink, behind a wall, in a ceiling, under a slab. We find where it is before we tell you what it takes to get to it.
Slab leaks, pinholes, running meters.
Water heaters
Thermocouples, anodes, valves, and replacement when the tank is finished.
Tank, tankless, no hot water.
