Clogged Drain Repair in Windsor, CA | Northern Sewer & Drain

You’re doing dishes near Windsor Town Green after dinner. The water starts backing up in the sink. You try the plunger. Nothing. By morning, the shower’s draining like it’s thinking about it. Sound familiar?

Clogged drains are one of the most common calls we get from Windsor homeowners and businesses. And here’s the thing — most of them wait too long. A slow drain today can turn into a full sewage backup by next week. That’s a much bigger mess and a much bigger bill.

At Northern Sewer & Drain, we’ve been clearing drains across Windsor, CA and Sonoma County for years. We know the local pipes, the local soil, and the local problems that make Windsor drains clog in the first place. We show up on time, we tell you the price before we start, and we don’t leave until the job’s done right.

We handle every type of drain problem, from a stubborn kitchen clog to a backed-up main sewer line. Here’s what we do:

Drain Cleaning & Unclogging

Whether it’s a bathroom sink full of hair and soap scum, a kitchen drain packed with grease, or a slow shower drain — we clear it. We use professional drain snakes and electric rooter machines to break through clogs fast without damaging your pipes.

Hydro Jetting

For drains that keep coming back clogged, hydro jetting is the real fix. We send a pressurized water stream through the pipe that scours the walls clean. Grease buildup, mineral scale, small root intrusions — all gone. It’s the most thorough drain cleaning method there is. No chemicals. No residue. Just water.

Sewer Camera Inspection

When you’ve got a slow main line or a mysterious backup, guessing wastes time and money. We run a CCTV sewer camera down your line so we can see exactly what’s going on — root intrusion, pipe cracks, a belly in the line, or just a grease buildup. You see what we see. No unnecessary digging, no surprise repairs.

Rooter Service & Tree Root Removal

Root intrusion is one of the top sewer problems in Windsor. Our electric rooter machines cut through root masses and restore flow to the line. For severe intrusions, we follow up with hydro jetting to clear debris and a camera inspection to check pipe condition.

Main Line Clog Removal

When multiple drains in your home are backing up at once, that’s a main sewer line problem — not a single fixture issue. This needs a professional right away. We locate the blockage, clear it, and inspect the full line.

Grease Trap Cleaning

Windsor restaurants, cafés, and commercial kitchens near Windsor Town Green know what grease does to a drain line. We service and clean commercial grease traps to keep your kitchen drains flowing and keep you compliant.

Floor Drain Cleaning

Basement floor drains, laundry room drains, and garage floor drains often get overlooked until they back up. We clean floor drains for both residential and commercial properties throughout Windsor.

Trenchless Sewer Repair & Pipe Lining

If your sewer camera inspection reveals cracked or deteriorated pipe, we can often fix it without digging up your yard. Pipe lining (CIPP) means we insert a resin liner into the existing pipe, cure it in place, and create a new pipe within the old one. Less mess, less disruption, and a line that lasts for decades.

Signs You Need a Drain Professional Now

Not every clogged drain is an emergency. But some definitely are. Call us right away if you notice:

• Multiple drains backing up at the same time
• Sewage smell coming from drains or your yard
• Gurgling sounds from toilets or drains when you run water elsewhere
• Water backing up into tubs or showers when you flush
• Soggy, sunken patches in your yard over the sewer line
• Toilet overflow that won’t stop

These are signs of a main sewer line problem. A DIY fix won’t cut it here. The longer you wait, the worse — and more expensive — it gets.

Common Drain Problems We See in Windsor Homes

Slow-draining bathroom sink. Almost always hair and soap scum. Most people pour drain cleaner in and call it solved. The chemical might soften the clog, but it doesn’t remove it. Six months later, same problem. We remove the clog completely.

Backed-up shower drain. In older Windsor homes with cast iron pipes, this is often a combination of hair, soap scum, and corroded pipe walls that have narrowed over the years. A camera inspection tells us exactly what we’re dealing with.

Kitchen drain clog. Grease is the usual suspect. People think liquid grease goes down the drain fine because it’s liquid. It doesn’t. It cools in the pipe and sticks. Layer by layer, it builds until the pipe is blocked.

Toilet overflow. Sometimes it’s a simple clog in the toilet trap. Sometimes it’s a main line issue that shows up in the toilet first. We diagnose which before we start work.

Basement floor drain backup. This one scares people, and it should. A backed-up floor drain is often the first sign of a main sewer line problem. Don’t ignore it.

Main sewer line blockage. Tree roots are the most common cause in Windsor. If we find roots, we clear them and advise on long-term options — from periodic clearing to pipe lining — based on what the camera shows us.
