Clogged drain, slow tub, or sewer backup? Reno-Sparks Plumb snakes, hydro-jets, and runs camera inspections to fix the real problem — not just punch a hole in the clog and call it done. Same-day service across Reno, Sparks, and the Truckee Meadows.
From a single clogged kitchen sink to a full sewer line replacement, we have the equipment and the experience to handle every scenario in Reno and Sparks.
The right first step for most single-fixture clogs — hair clogs in bathroom sinks and tubs, soft kitchen-line clogs, and many toilet stoppages. We carry small-diameter cables for sinks and full-size machines for main lines in both Reno and Sparks homes.
High-pressure water blasts grease, scale, and roots from the inside of your line. The right choice for kitchen lines that keep clogging, recurring main-line backups, sewer lines with root intrusion, and lines coated with mineral scale from Reno's hard water. Hydro-jetting actually cleans the pipe walls — cabling just opens a path through the blockage.
We run a high-resolution camera through your sewer line and show you what is actually happening. Roots, bellies, offsets, cracks, scale, or foreign objects — you see exactly what we see and get a real diagnosis before approving any work. Especially valuable for older Old Southwest and Sparks' Victorian Square homes.
Spot repairs for collapsed sections, replacement of compromised sewer laterals, and root barrier installation. We coordinate permits through City of Reno Building & Safety or City of Sparks, plus any required coordination with the Truckee Meadows Water Authority for sewer main work.
Some of these are obvious. Others are easy to miss until the problem is much worse and more expensive.
If your shower, toilet, and washing machine all back up together, the issue is usually in the main line — not the individual fixtures. Stop using water and call right away.
Air being pulled past water in your drain lines, especially when other fixtures are used, points to a partial blockage or a venting problem. It is an early warning, not a finished problem.
A persistent sewer odor inside the home or in the yard can indicate a cracked sewer line, dried-out P-traps, or vent issues. Outdoor sewer smells in older Reno neighborhoods like Old Southwest or Sparks' Victorian Square are often the first sign of a deteriorating sewer lateral.
If a drain clears for a few weeks and then slows down again, the line is likely coated in grease, scale, or roots. Snaking is a temporary fix; hydro-jetting solves it for years — especially important with the hard mineral scale that builds up on Reno-area drain interiors.
A surprisingly green stripe of lawn over your sewer line in the dry Truckee Meadows summer can mean the line is leaking and fertilizing the soil. A camera inspection confirms it quickly.
Many older homes in Old Southwest, Midtown, and the historic core of Sparks sit on lots with mature cottonwoods, maples, and silver locusts. Roots seek out moisture, and they find any small crack in a clay or aging PVC sewer lateral. A camera inspection every few years protects you.
Common signs include multiple drains backing up at the same time, gurgling sounds when you flush a toilet, sewage smells inside or outside the home, and unusually lush patches of grass over your sewer line. Older Reno neighborhoods like Old Southwest, Midtown, and Sparks' Victorian Square often see root intrusion in clay or older PVC sewer laterals.
Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of your drain or sewer line, clearing grease buildup, scale, roots, and other debris that a snake can only punch through. It is the right choice for recurring clogs, kitchen lines coated in grease, sewer lines with root intrusion, and any time you want a full cleaning rather than a quick opening. The mineral scale from Reno's hard water makes hydro-jetting especially useful here.
For homes with no recurring issues, every 18 to 24 months is typical. If you have older drains, mature trees near the sewer line, or a history of clogs, annual cleaning prevents most emergencies. We also recommend a sewer camera inspection when you buy a home in Reno or Sparks — it is the only way to know what is actually inside the line before closing.
Costs vary based on the scope of work — a single clog is a small job, while a full sewer line replacement is much larger. We provide free, no-obligation estimates and a clear price before any work begins. Call (555) 000-0000 to discuss your project.
Most sewer line repair and replacement work in Reno requires a permit through the City of Reno Building & Safety division (or City of Sparks Building Division for work in Sparks), especially anything involving excavation or replacement of the sewer lateral from the home to the city main. We handle the permit and inspection process so you do not have to.
