Drain & Sewer

A clogged drain or sewer line can cause major disruptions in your home, leading to slow drainage, foul odors, and even costly water damage. Whether you’re dealing with a minor blockage or a serious sewer line issue, professional service is essential to prevent further damage. At Sierra Pacific Home & Comfort, Inc., we provide expert drain and sewer solutions for homeowners in Sacramento, using advanced tools and techniques to keep your plumbing system in top condition.

What Causes Drain Clogs?

Drain clogs are a common plumbing issue that can develop over time due to everyday use. Hair, soap scum, food waste, grease, and other debris gradually build up inside your pipes, restricting water flow and eventually leading to a full blockage. In kitchen sinks, grease and food particles are the primary culprits, while in bathroom drains, hair and soap residue often cause slow drainage.

Flushing the wrong items down the toilet can also contribute to clogs. Hygiene products, paper towels, and "flushable" wipes do not break down easily and can accumulate in your pipes, leading to stubborn blockages. Tree roots growing into underground sewer lines are another major issue, as they can invade small cracks and expand inside the pipe, obstructing flow and causing significant damage.

At Sierra Pacific Home & Comfort, Inc., we use professional drain cleaning methods, including hydro jetting and drain snaking, to effectively remove tough clogs and restore proper drainage. If you’re experiencing frequent clogs, it may be time to have your drains professionally cleaned to prevent long-term plumbing issues.

Signs Your Sewer Line Is Clogged

A clogged sewer line is a serious plumbing problem that requires immediate attention. Unlike a standard drain clog that affects a single fixture, a sewer line blockage impacts your entire plumbing system. One of the most obvious signs is multiple drains backing up at the same time, especially in lower-level fixtures like toilets and showers.

Other warning signs include slow-draining water, gurgling sounds coming from your pipes, and strong sewage odors inside or outside your home. If wastewater begins pooling in your yard or you notice patches of lush, overly green grass, it could indicate a break or blockage in your sewer line.
