When You Need Drain Cleaning

Drain problems escalate on a predictable path, and catching them early keeps the fix simple. Call for drain cleaning when a sink or tub empties slower than it used to, when a drain gurgles as another fixture runs, or when smells rise from floor drains or a garbage disposal.

A toilet that clogs again and again, even after plunging, needs more than a plunger. Kitchen sinks collect grease and food waste.
Bathroom sinks and showers collect hair and soap scum. Laundry lines collect lint.
Each builds up until the drain stops. If only one fixture is affected, the clog is usually in that fixture's drain or the branch line behind it, which is exactly what drain cleaning clears.

If several fixtures back up at once, the main sewer line is the likely cause, and that calls for sewer cleaning instead.

What the Process Looks Like

We start by finding where the clog sits: in the fixture trap, the fixture drain, or the branch line that serves several fixtures. Then we match the equipment to the problem.

Hand and motorized drain augers clear most sink, tub, and shower clogs, and larger drain machines handle laundry and branch lines. Where possible we work through a cleanout or trap rather than pulling fixtures.
For drains that clog repeatedly, we recommend a camera inspection after clearing, so you can see what is actually inside the pipe: scale, grease, corrosion, or damage. Once the drain is open, we run water to verify full flow and clean up the work area completely.
We also explain what caused the clog and how to keep it from coming back.

For commercial kitchens with grease-heavy drains, we advise on maintenance schedules that keep lines clear between visits.

How It Works

Find the Clog

We identify which line is affected and where the obstruction sits, then match the right equipment to the job before any cable goes in the line.

Clear the Line

We clear the blockage with professional drain equipment, using cleanout access where possible, and recommend a camera inspection for recurring problems.

Verify Flow & Explain the Cause

We run water to confirm full flow, clean up completely, and explain what caused the blockage and how to prevent the next one.

How Long It Takes

A standard sink, tub, or shower clog is typically cleared in under an hour. Laundry and branch line clogs can take one to two hours, depending on the distance to the blockage and how easy the line is to reach. If a camera inspection follows the clearing, add about an hour. If we find the real problem is in the main sewer line, we explain that and quote sewer cleaning before going further. We tell you what we find as we find it, and we do not leave until flow is verified.

What It Typically Costs

Drain cleaning cost depends on which drain is blocked, how far the clog sits from an access point, and what is causing it. A simple sink or tub clog sits at the low end of the range.

Branch and laundry lines cost more because of the equipment and time involved. When you call, expect questions about which fixtures are affected, how long the problem has existed, and whether it has happened before, because those answers tell us what equipment to load.
Estimates are free and we quote before we start. Watch out for heavily advertised bargain drain specials; they frequently cover only a short cable run through an existing cleanout and convert into surprise charges when the real conditions differ.

We would rather quote you accurately from the start.

Licensed, Bonded, and Insured

DAE Plumbing, Inc. holds California contractor licence 1047507, is bonded and insured, and carries more than 20 years of industry experience into every drainage call. Our crews work quickly, keep the site clean, and treat your property with respect. We clear lines properly, verify flow before leaving, and give honest advice about underlying causes rather than clearing the same clog every few months without explanation.

Local Factors in Hollister and Area

Local conditions drive local drain problems. Hard water across the Hollister basin builds mineral scale inside drain lines, narrowing them over years until everyday grease and hair catch and hold. Older homes in downtown Hollister, San Juan Bautista, and Watsonville still carry galvanized and cast iron drains that corrode from the inside. Restaurants and food service businesses in Salinas, Monterey, and Santa Cruz contend with grease-heavy kitchen drains. Newer subdivisions in Gilroy and Morgan Hill see fewer corrosion problems but plenty of construction debris and wipes-related clogs. Whatever the cause, we serve Hollister and surrounding areas with equipment matched to the Central Coast's real drain problems.

Common Questions

Who does drain cleaning in Hollister, CA?

DAE Plumbing, Inc., a licensed and insured plumbing contractor headquartered in Hollister, clears clogged and slow sink, tub, shower, and laundry drains for homes and businesses across San Benito, Santa Clara, Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Mateo Counties. Estimates are free.

Why does my kitchen sink keep clogging?

Kitchen sink clogs usually come from grease, food waste, and coffee grounds building up in the drain and branch line. Hard-water scale narrows older pipe and gives that buildup more to grip. Professional cleaning clears the line, and keeping grease out of the drain keeps it clear.

What causes drains to keep clogging in older Hollister homes?

Recurring clogs in older Hollister and San Benito County homes usually trace to corroded galvanized or cast iron drain pipe, hard-water scale narrowing the line, or grease accumulation. A camera inspection after clearing identifies the underlying cause so it can be fixed permanently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. A toilet that clogs repeatedly usually has a partial blockage in its trap or the drain below it. We clear it with a closet auger and check whether the problem sits further down the line. If several fixtures are affected, we check the main sewer line too.

Yes, when the situation calls for it. After clearing a recurring or unexplained blockage, a camera inspection shows exactly what is inside the pipe, roots, scale, grease, or damage, so you can decide on a permanent fix with real information instead of guesswork.

Grease, coffee grounds, eggshells, fibrous food waste, and so-called flushable wipes cause most preventable clogs we clear. Wipes do not break down in sewer lines. Collect grease in a container for the trash, and run plenty of water when using a garbage disposal.

We advise against them. Caustic drain chemicals rarely clear real blockages, they sit in the pipe damaging older metal lines and seals, and they create a hazard for whoever opens the drain afterward. Mechanical clearing removes the blockage instead of partially dissolving it.

Yes. For properties with root-prone laterals or grease-heavy commercial drainage, scheduled maintenance keeps lines flowing and prevents emergency backups. We recommend a schedule based on your line's condition and history, and adjust it as the camera evidence dictates.
