What Our Clients Say
Randy K.
Northen Sewer and Drain are the best sewer and drain company I have ever used for my house and a couple of rentals. Kevin and his guys are prompt, professional, very reasonable compared to other companies. I have used them to replace a collapsed sewer line and for clogged toilets and lines. Very efficient and always leaves with the problem solved. I would recommend you call them first. This is a legitimate review.
Ty S.
Been calling Northen Sewer and Drain since 2019 when we moved to our new place out in Bennett Valley. First time septic tank living. Both Kevin and Jim have done quite of bit of work for us, new risers, clearing blocked lines on more than one occasion and recently locating and clearing drainage lines around our yard, which had started causing patio and garage flooding last year. Friendly, professional and they make sure the job is done right.

🧹 Our Services
Professional Sewer & Drain Cleaning Services in Santa Rosa, CA
Clogged Drain Service in Santa Rosa, CA
Fast, Thorough Drain Clearing That Actually Fixes the Problem
Clogged drains are one of the most common — and most disruptive — plumbing problems Santa Rosa homeowners face. Whether it's a slow kitchen drain backing up with grease and food debris, a bathroom drain buried under years of hair and soap scum, or a main line clog bringing multiple fixtures to a halt, Northen Sewer & Drain has the professional equipment to clear it completely. We don't just push the blockage further down the line — we identify the cause, clear the obstruction fully, and tell you honestly whether the problem is likely to recur. With 28 years of experience clearing drains in Santa Rosa homes and businesses, we've handled every type of blockage Sonoma County plumbing can produce. If you're searching for drain cleaning near me in Santa Rosa, you've found the right team.
Sewer Inspections & Cleanouts in Santa Rosa, CA
Know Exactly What's Happening Inside Your Pipes
A sewer inspection is the only reliable way to understand the true condition of your underground plumbing without expensive and disruptive excavation. Northen Sewer & Drain performs professional sewer inspections and cleanouts throughout Santa Rosa, using camera technology to reveal cracks, root intrusion, bellied pipe sections, scale buildup, and joint failures that cause recurring backups and eventual line collapse. Santa Rosa's older neighborhoods — from the historic homes near Railroad Square to the mid-century properties throughout Roseland and South Park — frequently have original clay or cast iron sewer lines showing age-related deterioration. A cleanout and inspection tells you exactly where you stand, what needs attention now, and what can wait, so you can make smart decisions about your home's infrastructure.
Hydro Jetting Services in Santa Rosa, CA
High-Pressure Pipe Cleaning That Restores Flow Like New
When cable machines aren't enough, Santa Rosa hydro jetting is the solution. Northen Sewer & Drain uses professional hydro jetting equipment to blast through decades of grease accumulation, mineral scale, tree root intrusion, and compacted debris using highly pressurized water that thoroughly scours pipe walls. Unlike snaking, which punches a hole through a clog and leaves buildup behind, hydro jetting removes everything — restoring your pipes closer to their original flow capacity. This is especially effective for commercial kitchens with grease-laden drain lines, older Santa Rosa homes with cast iron pipes that have narrowed from years of scale buildup, and sewer lines with recurring root problems. Hydro jetting is the most thorough drain cleaning method available, and Northen Sewer & Drain has the experience to deploy it safely on Santa Rosa's older pipe systems.
Clogged Toilet Service in Santa Rosa, CA
Same-Day Toilet Repairs When You Can't Afford to Wait
A clogged toilet creates an immediate household crisis — especially when it keeps recurring despite repeated plunging. Northen Sewer & Drain resolves clogged toilets throughout Santa Rosa quickly, diagnosing whether the problem is a simple obstruction, a partial main line blockage affecting drainage throughout the house, or a venting issue causing repeated backups. We carry common repair parts and resolve most toilet problems in a single visit. For toilets with chronic issues, we use camera inspection to identify what's happening downstream that's causing repeated failures. When the toilet itself is the problem — cracked, worn, or simply past its useful life — we help you choose an appropriate replacement and install it properly so you don't face the same issue six months from now.
Clogged Showers & Tubs in Santa Rosa, CA
Standing Water in Your Shower Isn't Normal — Let's Fix It
Slow shower and tub drains are so common that many Santa Rosa homeowners accept them as a fact of life — but standing water isn't a minor inconvenience; it's a sign that your drain needs attention. Northen Sewer & Drain clears shower and tub clogs completely, removing hair accumulations, soap scum buildup, and the organic matter that collects in p-traps and drain arms. For recurring shower drain problems, we inspect further downstream to determine whether the issue is in the fixture trap, the branch drain line, or a venting problem creating negative pressure that slows drainage. Santa Rosa's older homes with cast iron drain systems are particularly prone to buildup that accumulates over decades — a thorough clearing restores normal drainage and prevents the mold and mildew that standing water encourages.
Floor Drain & Mop Sink Cleaning in Santa Rosa, CA
Keeping Commercial and Residential Drainage Flowing in Sonoma County
Clogged floor drains and backed-up mop sinks don't just cause inconvenience — in commercial settings, they shut down operations and create health code violations. Northen Sewer & Drain clears floor drains and mop sinks for restaurants, commercial kitchens, laundry facilities, garages, and residential utility rooms throughout Santa Rosa and Sonoma County. Floor drains collect everything — grease, debris, sediment, and the kind of heavy buildup that standard drain cleaning equipment struggles to clear. We use hydro jetting and professional cable equipment sized for the demands of floor drain and mop sink lines, restoring full drainage capacity and keeping your facility running. This is a specialty service that most general plumbers in Santa Rosa don't fully offer — it's one of our core strengths.
Septic Tank Locating in Santa Rosa, CA
Find Your Septic System Before You Need It in an Emergency
Many properties in Santa Rosa and throughout Sonoma County rely on septic systems, and a surprisingly large number of homeowners have no idea where their tank is buried. Northen Sewer & Drain provides professional septic tank locating services using specialized equipment to trace and mark buried tanks and drain field components. Knowing your septic tank's exact location is essential before any landscaping, excavation, or construction work, and it's required for routine pumping and maintenance. For property buyers in rural Sonoma County areas, septic tank locating combined with a system inspection is one of the most valuable investments you can make before finalizing a purchase. We've located tanks throughout Sonoma County — from properties in Graton and Occidental to rural parcels near Guerneville — when homeowners had no records and no idea where to dig.
Clogged Septic Tank Service in Santa Rosa, CA
Septic Emergencies Require Fast, Expert Response
A clogged or backed-up septic tank creates one of the most urgent plumbing emergencies a homeowner can face — sewage backup into the home, saturated drain fields, and the potential for serious property contamination. Northen Sewer & Drain responds quickly to septic tank emergencies throughout Santa Rosa and Sonoma County, diagnosing whether the problem is a blocked inlet baffle, an overloaded tank, a failing drain field, or a clogged distribution line. Fast response limits damage and prevents a manageable problem from becoming a catastrophic one. With 28 years of experience serving Sonoma County properties — including Bennett Valley homes with first-time septic systems and rural properties throughout the county — we bring the expertise to diagnose and address septic problems efficiently and completely.
Sewer Video Inspection in Santa Rosa, CA
See Inside Your Pipes Before Problems Become Disasters
Sewer video inspection is the most powerful diagnostic tool in modern plumbing — and at Northen Sewer & Drain, it's how we make certain every repair recommendation is based on what we can see, not what we're guessing. We insert professional-grade camera equipment into your sewer and drain lines, transmitting real-time footage that reveals cracks, root intrusion, pipe bellying, joint separation, scale buildup, and other conditions invisible from above ground. For Santa Rosa homebuyers, a pre-purchase sewer video inspection is essential — especially for properties in Oakmont, Fountaingrove, and older neighborhoods throughout the city where original plumbing systems are approaching the end of their lifespan. We walk you through the footage in plain language, explain exactly what we're seeing, and give you honest recommendations about what requires immediate attention and what can be monitored over time.
Clogged Storm Drain Clearing in Santa Rosa, CA
Don't Wait for the Rainy Season to Find Out Your Storm Drains Are Blocked
Santa Rosa's wet winters make functioning storm drains essential — a blocked storm drain can turn a normal rainstorm into a flooding event that damages your property, your landscaping, and your home's foundation. Northen Sewer & Drain clears clogged storm drains for residential and commercial properties throughout Santa Rosa and Sonoma County, removing debris accumulation, sediment buildup, and root intrusion that restricts water flow during heavy rain. Storm drains are frequently overlooked until they fail at the worst possible moment — our proactive clearing service ensures your drainage system is ready before the season's first significant rainfall. We serve properties across Santa Rosa, from commercial developments along Stony Point Road to residential neighborhoods throughout the west side and beyond.
Clogged Roof Drain Clearing in Santa Rosa, CA
Protect Your Roof and Structure From Blocked Drainage
Roof drains are the unsung workhorses of commercial and multi-story residential buildings — and when they clog, the consequences range from standing water that stresses your roof membrane to interior water intrusion that causes structural damage and mold growth. Northen Sewer & Drain clears clogged roof drains for commercial properties, apartment buildings, and residential structures throughout Santa Rosa and Sonoma County. Roof drain clogs typically accumulate from leaf debris, sediment, and organic matter that enters the drain and compacts over time. Regular clearing — ideally before and after Sonoma County's rainy season — prevents the kind of water damage that insurance claims are made of. We handle roof drain service alongside our full range of commercial drain cleaning capabilities, giving property managers a single reliable contact for all drainage needs.
Clogged Patio Drain Clearing in Santa Rosa, CA
Stop Standing Water From Threatening Your Foundation
Patio drains are designed to redirect surface water away from your home's foundation — when they clog, that water has nowhere to go except toward your slab, your crawl space, or into the soil immediately surrounding your structure. Northen Sewer & Drain clears clogged patio drains throughout Santa Rosa, removing the debris, root intrusion, and sediment accumulation that causes water to pool on patios and hardscaped surfaces. Beyond the nuisance of a waterlogged patio, blocked drainage creates real structural risks — saturated soil around foundations, water intrusion into crawl spaces, and the kind of long-term moisture damage that compromises your home's integrity. We locate the blockage, clear it completely, and advise on any drainage improvements that would prevent recurrence. Whether your patio drain serves a residential backyard in Rincon Valley or a commercial courtyard in downtown Santa Rosa, we restore proper function fast.
