Not Sure If Your Drain Needs Professional Service?
Some drain problems start small and become more noticeable over time. Our plumbing team can look at what’s happening and help determine whether the issue can be cleared with drain cleaning or if a deeper problem may need further inspection.
Common Signs Your Drain Needs Attention
Drains Are Moving Slower Than Normal
Water taking longer to leave a sink, tub, or shower can be an early sign of buildup or a developing blockage.
The Same Drain Keeps Clogging
If one drain keeps backing up after being cleared, the blockage may be farther inside the line.
More Than One Drain Is Backing Up
Problems affecting multiple fixtures can point to an issue in a shared drain or main line.
Gurgling or Unusual Drain Odors
Noises or odors coming from drains can be a sign that water and waste are not moving through the line properly.
Water Is Coming Back Up Through a Drain
Water returning through a sink, tub, shower, or floor drain usually means the line needs attention.

The tech was prompt and did excellent work.
Michael Jones
I had solid plumbing & drains come out to make some repairs on the drains for both my toilets and replaced my outdated laundry box that was not working. The techs Emmanuel and Mario were so professional, fast, and knew exactly what the problem was. They even went the extra mile and hooked up my washer and dryer once they finished the repairs. Everything works perfectly now. Solid service, fair pricing, and real attention to detail. I’d highly recommend them.
Elizabeth Hernandez
I needed a plumber to take care of a main line back-up on a Saturday. The team responded promptly, was very professional, and took care of the issue all in one visit. Thank you!
Jennifer French
I had some landscape drain problems. Had one of the TV big company over and they essentially said they needed to bust up my concrete patio etc etc and they would not touch a lateral drain. Got in touch with Mario and had a great conversation with him on the problem. He came over with his crew Emanuel and Angel. Mario diagnosed the issue and created a plan of attack. The main drain line was full of roots but he got them and the issue if FIXED. They were pleasant to deal with, very professional and did a great job. I will definitely go back to them for any further inside or outside plumbing problem! Thank you Mario!
Joe Vaccaro

Mario and his crew were extremely professional and very thorough during their job. We had sewage back ups and burst pipes and they worked quickly to get the job done. I would 100% recommend Mario to anyone with plumbing concerns.
Brent Teraoka
Solid Company & Drains Representatives reported as scheduled and came with an attitude of getting the job done. They secured their ladder, hopped up in the attic and within 5 minutes Mario had determined the problem. He took pictures of the area and sent them to me on my phone. He explained each photo. Incredible! Additionally, he suggested that I get a specialty company to use special tools to determine if there is additional water damage in the wall area that they could not see. I really appreciated that suggestion. Thanks to Mario and Angel for their professionalism, friendly attitude, and great plumbing skills!

Emmanuel and Angelo are the best team! They showed up at my house in El Cajon within 30 minutes of calling. We had been dealing with this issue for almost a year, and they were the first ones to actually figure it out. They ran a camera down the drain, found the clog right away, cut out the damaged pipe, and replaced everything properly. Great pricing, super professional, and easy to work with. Highly recommend Solid Plumbing & Drains!

i hired Mario and his crew (Emmanuel and Angel) today for a landscape drain issue after turning away one of the big TV companies that essentially refused the work. Mario showed up on time, reasonably diagnosed the issue and made a game plan. In the end he was able to clear the problem! They left the job clean. very professional and job well done! thank you!!!

Linda A.Verified
I had a patio drain that was very sluggish. Mario and Angel came and took 2 hours unblocking a mountain of mud from down the line. They were professional, resourceful using multiple pieces of equipment and persistent working till the blockage finally gave way.They also had to go through my house to get to drain and they were very neat laying down plastic to protect my floors. I am a very happy and highly recommend them.

Drain Cleaning Questions From El Cajon Property Owners
Why does the same drain keep clogging after it has been cleaned?
A recurring clog can mean buildup remains farther inside the line or that roots, pipe damage, or another deeper condition is catching debris. If the problem keeps returning, additional inspection may be needed to identify the cause.
What is the difference between drain cleaning and hydro jetting?
Drain cleaning can clear common blockages and restore flow. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clean heavier grease, sludge, scale, and buildup from along the inside of the drain or sewer line.
When should a clogged drain be inspected with a sewer camera?
A camera inspection may be recommended when clogs keep returning, several drains are affected, or the cause cannot be determined with normal drain cleaning. It can help identify roots, buildup, cracks, damaged connections, and other visible problems inside the line.
Can grease buildup cause drain or sewer backups in El Cajon?
Yes. The City of El Cajon specifically warns that fats, oils, and grease can accumulate inside drain lines, create blockages, and eventually contribute to sewage backups and overflows.
When does a clogged drain need repair instead of cleaning?
Cleaning may not solve the problem if the drain line is cracked, collapsed, badly corroded, separated, or otherwise physically damaged. In those cases, an inspection can help determine whether a section of the line should be repaired or replaced.
