Murrieta Drain Cleaning, Snaking and Hydro Jetting
Clogged drain in Murrieta? We snake fixtures, hydro jet grease and hard-water buildup, and camera-check sewer lines in tract and older homes. (909) 751-2323.
Murrieta grew fast after incorporating in 1991, and most of its homes were built from the late 1980s through the 2000s in places like Alta Murrieta, Greer Ranch and the Murrieta Hot Springs area. Those slab-on-grade homes use plastic drain and sewer pipe, so most clogs start with what goes into the drains: grease, wipes, hair and soap buildup.
Historic Downtown Murrieta is older, and newer master-planned areas like Spencer's Crossing have the newest pipe of all. New doesn't mean trouble-free, though, especially in the first few years, when construction debris can still turn up in the lines. Our Murrieta service area page covers the other plumbing work we do here.

What's different about drain cleaning & hydro jetting in Murrieta
More than one sewer district
Sewer service in Murrieta is split by area. Eastern Municipal Water District serves much of the city and treats the wastewater at its Temecula Valley plant, while other districts, including Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, serve other parts. Knowing which one serves you matters if a problem turns out to be in the public main.
Upstairs drains in two-story homes
Many Murrieta tract homes are two-story, with laundry rooms and baths on the second floor. A clog in an upstairs branch line can overflow onto the floor and soak the ceiling below, so a slow upstairs tub or laundry drain is worth handling early.
Hard water in a blended supply
Murrieta's water is a blend of imported water and groundwater, and it's on the hard side. Mineral scale joins soap scum in bathroom drains and grease in the kitchen, slowly narrowing lines that were wide open when the house was new.
Older lines around downtown
Homes in the historic downtown area predate the 1980s boom, and some of those properties may have older clay or cast iron sewer laterals. Those materials are more likely to let roots in or crack than the plastic pipe in the surrounding tracts.
Signs it's time to call
- An upstairs tub or laundry drain that's getting slower
- Water rising in a downstairs shower when a toilet flushes
- Gurgling from sinks after the dishwasher runs
- A sour smell from the kitchen drain
- Several drains slowing down at once
How we handle it in Murrieta
We match the tool to the problem. A snake is fast and affordable for one clogged fixture. Hydro jetting is the better choice when buildup lines the whole pipe or a main line keeps backing up, because it cleans the walls instead of just opening a path. A camera inspection lets you see inside the line, so you know whether cleaning solved it or whether there's a sag, crack or separated joint.
If your Murrieta home has an existing, accessible cleanout at ground level, our $69 special may be a good place to start: we snake one problem drain line and give you a free HD camera inspection of the main sewer line through that cleanout. The main sewer line itself isn't snaked under this offer, and if there's no accessible cleanout, the extra access is quoted separately. Read more about camera inspections, or contact us to schedule.
Murrieta questions, answered
Which agency handles sewer in my part of Murrieta?+
It depends on your neighborhood. Eastern Municipal Water District serves much of the city, and other districts, including Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, serve other areas. Your bill shows which agency charges you for sewer service.
Why does my upstairs bathroom drain keep clogging?+
Usually it's hair and soap scum, sometimes made worse by hard water minerals. Upstairs branch lines are smaller than the main line, so they clog sooner. A snake or a small jetting nozzle clears them, and dealing with them early helps keep water from coming through the ceiling.
How far are you from Murrieta?+
Our office is in San Bernardino, and we serve Murrieta around the clock. Emergency arrival is typically within 1-2 hours depending on location, traffic and call volume, and we'll give you a realistic time when you call.
