When a Clogged Drain May Be More Than Just a Clog

Sometimes a clog is just a clog. But recurring clogs or several backed-up drains can point to a deeper line problem. We can inspect the line with a camera before recommending larger repairs. When the pipe and property are a good fit, trenchless sewer repair may reduce digging.

When it can’t wait, we’re here.
Burst pipe, active leak, overflowing toilet, or sewage backing up? Call for 24/7 emergency plumbing. If you can, turn off the water while you wait.
Call for Emergency PlumbingAfter-hours and holiday dispatch fees apply. We’ll confirm the dispatch fee before sending a technician. Repair costs are additional.

Good work.
In their words.
Real experiences from homeowners across the Central Valley.
“On Christmas Eve, Evan came to clear the drain and took a lot of roots out of it. He returned today and lowered a camera to see the condition of the drain line. He explained the issue and the approx. cost… So far very satisfied with the service and professionalism.”
“There was not a quick fix available so Junior went through the process of showing me exactly what the issue was. It turned out to be an issue that required a new main sewer line from the house… It was amazing to watch the no trench process. I am very happy with the results and costs.”
“We had all our toilets, showers and sinks in our house back up at 8pm at night on a holiday… Feliciano and his colleague arrived [and] were so good at breaking everything down as far as the process, the cost and then kept me updated through the process… [They] cleaned up everything as if they were never there.”
“I was informed by another plumber that I needed all of my sewer lines replaced… Lonnie came out and checked my sewer lines and informed me that they were fine… no replacement is needed. I really appreciated Lonnie’s honesty. He also let me know what to look for so I would know when my lines needed to be replaced.”
“Discount gave us a competitive bid when I needed to have my water heater replaced, other contractors wanted $500-$1000 more. They came out the same day and gave me a quote… I hired them and they installed it the next day. Friendly service, responsive, and they got me the water heater that I wanted for the right price.”
“Senior HVAC service techs Richie and Adam came out to service my AC for the summer and Tyler the plumber came to service my whole home plumbing system… Richie showed me his before and after work he performed… I appreciated all 3 techs professionalism.”

What plumbing problems can Discount Plumbing help with?
Discount Plumbing handles everyday plumbing repairs as well as larger drain and sewer problems. That includes leaking pipes, toilets, faucets, garbage disposals, clogged drains, sewer backups, water heaters, sewer line repairs, trenchless sewer work, and emergency plumbing.
What if I don’t know what kind of plumbing service I need?
You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself. Tell us what you are seeing, hearing, smelling, or experiencing. We can inspect the problem, find the likely cause, and explain what your options are.
When is a clogged drain a sign of a sewer problem?
One clogged sink, tub, or shower may simply have a blockage in that drain. If several drains are slow or backing up at the same time, sewage is coming up through a drain, or the same clog keeps returning, the problem may be farther down in the main sewer line.
What causes a drain to keep clogging?
Recurring clogs can be caused by grease, hair, soap buildup, food waste, roots growing into a pipe, or damage inside the drain or sewer line. If a clog keeps coming back after it has been cleared, it may be worth looking deeper to find the cause.
When might you use a camera to inspect a sewer line?
A camera inspection can help when the same drain problem keeps returning, several drains are affected, or there are signs of a problem in the main sewer line. A small camera is sent through the pipe so the technician can look for roots, buildup, cracks, damaged areas, or other problems that cannot be seen from outside.
Does a sewer problem always mean the pipe needs to be replaced?
No. Some sewer problems can be solved by clearing the line or repairing a damaged section. Replacement may make more sense when the pipe has serious or widespread damage. The right choice depends on what is actually found during the inspection.
Can a sewer line be repaired without digging up my whole yard?
In some cases, yes. Trenchless sewer methods can repair or replace damaged pipe with much less digging than traditional sewer replacement. Whether trenchless work is a good option depends on the condition and location of the existing pipe.
Do you repair and replace water heaters?
Yes. Discount Plumbing services traditional tank and tankless water heaters. If you have no hot water, not enough hot water, strange noises, rusty-looking water, or a leaking water heater, we can inspect the system and explain whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
How do I know if my water heater should be repaired or replaced?
That depends on what is wrong with it, its condition, and whether the problem can be repaired safely and reasonably. A smaller part failure may only need a repair. A badly leaking or failing unit may make replacement the better choice. We can inspect it and explain both options when they are available.
Does Discount Plumbing also provide heating and air conditioning service?
Yes. In addition to plumbing, drain, sewer, and water heater service, Discount Plumbing provides heating and air conditioning service. We can help when a heater or AC system will not turn on, is not keeping the home comfortable, keeps starting and stopping, or is making unusual noises.
