About Our Clogged Drain Repairs Services in San Rafael
A clogged drain starts as a minor annoyance but can quickly escalate into a major problem — standing water, foul odors, potential water damage, and even health hazards from sewage backup. At Precision Handy Repairs, we provide fast, effective drain cleaning and unclogging services that solve the problem at its source, not just temporarily push it downstream. Our technicians use professional-grade drain snakes, augers, and hydro-jetting equipment to clear even the most stubborn clogs in kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, shower drains, floor drains, and main sewer lines. We don't rely on harsh chemical drain cleaners that can damage your pipes — our mechanical methods are more effective, safer for your plumbing system, and better for the environment. Common causes of clogged drains include hair accumulation in bathroom drains, grease buildup in kitchen sinks, soap scum deposits, food debris from garbage disposals, mineral scale in older pipes, and tree root intrusion in sewer lines. We identify the specific cause, clear the blockage completely, and provide prevention tips to keep your drains flowing freely.

Can you fix a slow drain in San Rafael?
Yes, a slow drain indicates a partial clog that we clear before it becomes a complete blockage. Early treatment is easier, cheaper, and prevents potential water damage.

No, we avoid chemical drain cleaners because they can damage pipes and are only temporarily effective. We use professional mechanical methods — snaking and hydro-jetting — that are safer and more thorough.
