Professional Drain Cleaning in Modesto, CA

From a stubborn kitchen sink clog near Vintage Faire to a main line backup in the College Area, we diagnose the real cause, use the right equipment, and handle it in a single visit.
Call (209) 319-0546 to get your drain cleared today.
What Causes Drain Problems in Modesto
Homes in Sunnyside, Bret Harte, and near Modesto Junior College were built before 1970, and many still have original clay or cast iron pipes. These older materials narrow over time from grease, soap scum, and mineral scale. Additionally, Modesto’s notoriously hard water accelerates that process faster than most homeowners realize.
Tree roots are another constant threat. Modesto’s tree-lined streets mean root intrusion into sewer laterals is one of the most common calls we respond to in Stanislaus County. A snaking buys time. Proper diagnosis and clearing buys peace of mind.
How We Clear Drains in Modesto
Your Knights Plumbing technician won’t just push a snaking and call it done. We diagnose first, then choose the right method:
Drain snaking
Drain snaking for standard clogs in sinks, toilets, and shower drains
Hydro-Jetting
Hydro-jetting for lines packed with grease, roots, or years of mineral scale buildup
Video camera inspection
Video camera inspection to verify the line is fully clear and flag any pipe damage before it becomes a bigger problem
Every drain cleaning comes with our 30-Day Drain Cleaning Guarantee. The same clog comes back, we come back at no cost.

When to Call Instead of Waiting
- Water draining slowly in your sink, shower, or tub
- Gurgling sounds after water runs
- Multiple fixtures backing up at once, which is a main line warning sign
- Water from the toilet backing into the tub
- Recurring odors coming from drains
These are early warnings. Catching them now costs far less than water damage cleanup later.
