Our process
Camera the line
We look before we snake, so we know whether it's grease, roots, or a structural problem.
Choose the right method
Cable snaking for most blockages, hydro jetting when the line needs to be scoured clean.
Clear and verify
A second camera pass confirms the line is genuinely clear, not just flowing again.
Tell you what caused it
If the cause is structural, you'll know — rather than paying for the same clearing every six months.

Drain Cleaning in Top of the Hill — FAQs
What if my home has no accessible cleanout?
It changes the approach and sometimes the cost, so we establish access first. Installing a proper cleanout is occasionally worth doing on its own, since it makes every future service cheaper.

Yes. Daly City Plumber Bros provides drain cleaning throughout Top of the Hill and all of Daly City, CA. You get a free estimate and a upfront price before any work begins.
What's the difference between snaking and hydro jetting?
A cable snake punches through a blockage. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the full pipe wall clean, which lasts far longer on grease-heavy or root-intruded lines.
My drain keeps clogging — why?
Recurring clogs usually mean the underlying cause was never removed. Roots, a bellied section, or heavy grease buildup all produce that pattern, and a camera inspection identifies which.
