Clogged Drain Repair & Cleaning
Whether it's a completely blocked kitchen sink or a slow shower drain, Clearwater Plumbing and Drains diagnoses and repairs clogged drains across San Diego. Our licensed plumbers match the right method to the job so the fix lasts.
Kitchen & Bathroom Drain Cleaning
Kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, showers, and tub drains all clog for different reasons. Grease buildup, soap scum, hair, and food debris are the most common culprits. We clean and clear all residential and commercial drains throughout San Diego, including La Jolla, La Mesa, Mira Mesa, and University City.
Drain Snaking Services
When a clog won’t clear with standard methods, drain snaking gets it done. We feed a flexible metal cable directly into the line to cut through and remove the blockage at its source. Same-day service is available for floor drains, kitchen lines, and main drain lines across San Diego.
Garbage Disposal & Toilet Clogs
A jammed garbage disposal or an overflowing toilet can't wait. We clear both quickly and diagnose whether the issue is localized or part of a larger drain problem that needs further attention.
Scheduled Drain Maintenance
Most drain emergencies start as minor buildup that goes unnoticed. Regular, scheduled cleaning catches those issues early and keeps your system flowing before a small problem turns into a costly one. We work with homeowners and property managers across San Diego to set up maintenance plans that fit their property and budget.
24-Hour Emergency Drain Service
A backed-up drain or sewer line failure doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Clearwater Plumbing and Drains provides 24-hour emergency drain services throughout San Diego. We show up fast, figure out what's going on, and get it handled the same day.

Sewer Camera Inspection & Diagnostics
Not every drain problem is visible from the surface. Clearwater Plumbing and Drains uses advanced sewer camera technology to inspect your lines from the inside, pinpoint the issue, and determine the best fix before any work begins. We provide full sewer camera inspection and diagnostics for homes and businesses across San Diego, including La Jolla, Mira Mesa, Scripps Ranch, and Sorrento Valley.
Sewer Line Cleaning & Repair
A sewer line issue caught early is almost always cheaper to fix. We handle everything from scheduled cleanings to severe blockages, and if our camera inspection reveals damage, we walk you through your repair options before moving forward.
Tree Root Intrusion & Removal
Mature trees across San Diego send roots toward the moisture in sewer lines, eventually cracking or collapsing pipes. Our plumbers use camera inspection to pinpoint exactly where roots have entered the line, then clear them completely. If the pipe itself is damaged, our NuFlow trenchless pipe repair service restores it without digging up your yard.
Residential & Commercial Drain Services in San Diego
Clearwater Plumbing and Drains works with homeowners, property managers, and business owners across San Diego. Whether it’s a single clogged drain in a La Jolla home or a recurring sewer issue at a commercial property in Kearny Mesa, we bring the same level of service to every job. We also cover Clairemont, Sorrento Valley, Scripps Ranch, Lemon Grove, La Mesa, and surrounding areas.

Drain Service Reviews
“Mike and his team did a total replumb of our older home and installed new plumbing in our office... I highly recommend Clearwater Plumbing!! Thank you Mike!”
“High quality installation and detailed.
Plumbers are professional knowledgeable. The plumbers worked so hard to install the new water heater when I needed on Saturday.”
“My toilet gurgled and wasn’t flushing well. I called Clearwater and they came out the same day, used a camera to located the problem and it looked like there was something in the sewer line. They were very good at explaining the situation and I was able to get an appointment the next day to have them dig a trench and fix the problem. They were done in one day and even though I have no landscape just gravel, they put everything back and you wouldn’t know that a trench was dug. Their service is exceptional.”
Drain Service FAQs — San Diego
-
The cost depends on what's going on. A simple drain snaking will cost less than a full sewer line cleaning or camera inspection. The type of drain, location of the clog, and whether there's underlying damage like root intrusion all factor in. We give you a clear price before we start any work. Call (760) 420-6281 for a quote.
-
The most common causes of clogged drains include grease and food buildup in kitchen sinks, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, and foreign objects flushed down toilets. In older San Diego neighborhoods, tree root intrusion into sewer lines is also a frequent issue. Minor clogs can often be cleared with drain snaking, but recurring blockages may point to a deeper problem that requires a sewer camera inspection to diagnose.
-
Our plumbers insert a small, high-resolution camera into your sewer line through an access point. The camera feeds live video so we can see exactly what's happening inside the pipe. This allows us to identify blockages, cracks, root intrusion, corrosion, and buildup without any digging. Once we've identified the problem, we walk you through the findings and recommend the best course of action before any work begins.
-
Common signs that your sewer line needs attention include multiple slow drains throughout your home, gurgling sounds coming from toilets or drains, sewage odors indoors or near your foundation, and water backing up into tubs or showers when you flush a toilet. If you notice any of these, it's worth getting a sewer camera inspection to identify the cause before it turns into a more serious and costly repair.
