Trusted Local Plumbers in the Central Valley
Drain cleaning is the process of removing the buildup and blockages that keep water from flowing freely through your pipes, while drain repair fixes the damaged, cracked, or collapsed lines causing recurring trouble. Together they restore proper drainage to sinks, tubs, showers, toilets, and the main sewer line that carries everything out of your home.
A slow drain is usually a warning. Grease, hair, soap scum, food scraps, and the mineral scale left by the Valley's hard water all narrow your pipes over time until they finally clog. We use the right tools for the job, from drain snakes to targeted clearing, and inspect the line so we can tell you whether a simple cleaning will do or a repair is needed.
From quick repairs to major upgrades, Clark's Plumbing brings 25 years of experience and a commitment to honest, affordable work to every job across Visalia, Clovis, and Fresno.
Done Right The First Time
No drain is too big or too small. We routinely clear kitchen and bathroom sinks, bathtubs and showers, floor drains, laundry lines, and the main sewer lateral that connects your home to the city or septic system. When a clog keeps coming back, that's often a sign the problem is deeper in the line.
Older Visalia-area homes are especially prone to drain trouble, where decades-old pipe and thirsty tree roots work against you. We locate the real blockage instead of guessing, so you're not paying to clear the same drain twice.
If a drain clogs again and again, the issue is rarely at the surface. Root intrusion, a sagging pipe, or heavy scale buildup may be to blame. We diagnose what's really going on and recommend the fix that actually solves it.
When more than one fixture backs up at once, or you hear gurgling and smell sewage, your main sewer line is likely blocked. This is an emergency we handle day or night, before wastewater reaches your floors.
Anyone can snake a drain. We go further and identify why it clogged, so the fix lasts and you're not calling us back next month for the same line.
Drain service shouldn't break the bank. We guarantee the lowest prices in the area and quote every job upfront, before we start.
A backed-up main line can't wait. We answer calls around the clock and get to you quickly to stop the mess before it spreads.
Drain jobs can get messy, but your home won't be when we leave. We protect your space, clean up fully, and treat your house with care.
With California license #1053009 and an A+ BBB rating, you're hiring an accountable professional, not a one-time handyman.
Owner Clark has seen just about every drain problem the Valley can produce and knows how to solve it efficiently the first time.

Clark's Plumbing did an excellent, professional job. They came to help on Labor Day with a corroded, leaking gas line. They found it, they fixed it, and they gave us a great deal. Even the gas company said they did a great job.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
Common questions about drain cleaning and repair in the Visalia area.
Why does my drain keep clogging even after I clear it?
Repeat clogs usually mean the real problem is deeper in the line, such as tree-root intrusion, a sagging or damaged pipe, or heavy mineral scale from hard water. Clearing the surface helps briefly, but a proper diagnosis and repair is what actually stops it from coming back.
What should I do if my main sewer line is backing up?
Stop using water right away and call us. When multiple fixtures back up at once, the main line is blocked, and continued use can push sewage into your home. We offer 24/7 emergency service and can clear the line quickly before it causes costly damage.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?
We generally advise against them. Store-bought chemicals can corrode older pipes, often fail to clear the real blockage, and create a hazard for whoever services the drain next. Professional clearing is safer for your plumbing and far more effective on a true clog.
How can I prevent drain clogs?
Keep grease, coffee grounds, and food scraps out of the kitchen sink, use strainers to catch hair in bathroom drains, and never flush wipes or paper towels. In our hard-water region, periodic professional cleaning also helps keep mineral scale from narrowing your pipes.
Do you clear outdoor and sewer drains too?
Yes. We handle the main sewer lateral, outdoor and floor drains, and cleanouts in addition to interior sink, tub, and shower lines. Deep or outdoor blockages are common in older Central Valley properties, and we have the tools to reach them.
How much does drain cleaning cost?
It depends on the drain and the severity of the blockage, so we give you an upfront price before starting, backed by our lowest-price guarantee. You'll never get a surprise bill, and we'll tell you honestly if a repair rather than a cleaning is the smarter spend.
