Clogged drains in your Folsom, Rancho Cordova, or Sacramento home rarely fix themselves — and store-bought chemical cleaners often make the problem worse. Plumbing Care Inc. clears every type of clog — kitchen sink, bathroom sink, toilet, shower, tub, laundry, floor drain, and main sewer line — using safe, effective tools like motorized augers, hydro-jetters, and sewer cameras. Same-day appointments are available 24/7 for active backups.
Drain & Sewer Clog Services We Provide
From a slow bathroom sink to a main sewer backup, our licensed plumbers diagnose the source of the clog before clearing it — so the fix lasts. We service every fixture and drain line type across Sacramento County:
- Kitchen sink drains — grease, food, and disposal-jammed lines
- Bathroom sink and tub drains — hair, soap scum, and toothpaste buildup
- Toilet clogs — including hard-to-reach blockages past the trap
- Shower drains — hair clogs and biofilm buildup
- Laundry standpipes and floor drains — lint, soap, and sediment
- Main sewer line backups — root intrusion, grease, and collapse cleared with sewer camera + hydro-jetting
- Commercial drain lines — restaurants, multi-family, and retail in Folsom, Rancho Cordova, and Sacramento
How we clear clogs the right way
- Free phone triage — we ask about symptoms (which fixtures are slow, are multiple drains affected?) to identify whether it is a localized clog or a main line backup.
- On-site diagnosis — a licensed tech inspects the affected fixtures and, for stubborn or repeated clogs, runs a sewer camera to find the exact source.
- Upfront flat-rate quote — you approve the cost and method before any work begins.
- Choose the right clearing method:
- Drain auger / snake — for most fixture-level clogs
- Hydro-jetting — high-pressure water clears grease, scale, and roots from main lines; restores the line to like-new flow
- Sewer camera inspection — for recurring backups, we provide a video recording so you can see the root or break causing the problem
- Trenchless sewer repair — when a line is collapsed or root-damaged beyond repair, we offer pipe-bursting and pipe-lining options that avoid digging up your yard
- Verification — every job is finished with a flow test, and main-line clears include a free camera verification.
Clog FAQs
How much does drain cleaning cost in Sacramento?
Most residential drain cleanings range from $149 to $399 depending on access and severity. Main sewer line clears with hydro-jetting range from $475 to $850. We provide upfront flat-rate quotes — never hourly surprises.
Why is my toilet clogging repeatedly?
Repeat clogs usually indicate a main sewer line problem (root intrusion, partial collapse, or a foreign object lodged in the line). A sewer camera inspection identifies the cause quickly.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe?
No. Liquid drain cleaners damage older copper, cast iron, and PVC pipes and rarely clear severe clogs. They also create a hazardous backup of caustic liquid for the next person working on the line.
Do you offer emergency drain service?
Yes. We dispatch 24/7 for active backups in Folsom, Rancho Cordova, Sacramento, El Dorado Hills, Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, and surrounding communities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between drain cleaning and hydro-jetting?
Standard drain cleaning uses a mechanical cable to punch through clogs. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water (3,000 to 4,000 psi) to scour the pipe wall clean, removing grease, scale, and root intrusion completely.
Do you offer camera inspections?
Yes. We provide HD sewer camera inspections to confirm the cause and location of any main-line clog or recurring drain issue before recommending a repair.
How much does drain cleaning cost?
We offer upfront flat-rate pricing on all drain cleaning services. The exact price depends on the drain involved and the method needed, and is disclosed before we begin.
What causes recurring clogs?
Tree-root intrusion, grease buildup, scale from hard water, collapsed or bellied pipe sections, and improper items being flushed are the most common causes. A camera inspection identifies which applies to your home.
Can you clear a main sewer line clog the same day?
Yes. In most cases we clear main-line clogs on the first visit using cable, hydro-jetting, or both, and follow up with a camera inspection to confirm root cause.
