Drain Cleaning in Santa Monica
Exceptional Drain Cleaning
Slow drains and backups are a particular problem in Santa Monica’s older housing stock. Much of the housing north of Wilshire and through Sunset Park went up between the 1920s and 1940s, and plenty of it still runs original cast iron waste lines. Cast iron scales from the inside as it ages — the pipe narrows year after year until a drain that used to clear in seconds takes a minute, then stops clearing at all.
We clear drains across Santa Monica for homeowners, landlords, and restaurants. Licensed and insured, CSLB #914119.

Sewer Line Cleaning
Don't let sewer line issues ruin your day. We can clean and maintain your sewer lines to prevent costly problems down the road.
Drain snaking and cabling. The right first step for most single-fixture clogs — kitchen sinks, tubs, bathroom lines. Fast and inexpensive when the blockage is soft.
Hydro jetting. Snaking often just punches a hole through a blockage. Jetting scours the pipe wall back to full diameter, which is what grease and years of buildup actually require. It is the difference between a drain that clears for a week and one that clears for years.
Camera inspection. If a drain keeps backing up after it has been cleared, something structural is usually wrong — a belly holding standing water, a cracked section, or root intrusion. We scope the line and show you the footage rather than asking you to take our word for it.
Root removal. Santa Monica street trees, ficus in particular, send roots a long way looking for water. They find the joints in older clay and cast iron laterals and grow inside them.
Main line and sewer lateral clearing. When every fixture in the building drains slowly at once, the problem sits downstream of the fixtures, not under the sink.
Commercial kitchen lines. Restaurants along Main Street, Montana Avenue, and the Promenade run grease loads that residential-grade cleaning will not touch.
Why Choose Lords of Plumbing
We diagnose before we quote. A drain that backs up repeatedly is telling you something. We would rather scope the line and tell you it needs a repair than keep selling you clearings that do not hold.
Upfront pricing. You get a firm number before we start, not an hourly meter running while you watch.
Licensed and insured. CSLB #914119. That matters in a city with as much multi-unit and rent-controlled property as Santa Monica, where work done badly becomes the owner’s liability.
We are used to old plumbing. A large share of Santa Monica housing predates 1950. Cast iron, galvanized supply, clay laterals — that is routine for us rather than a surprise that changes the price halfway through.
