Drain Cleaning Services in Petaluma Good Enough for Our Own Moms

Your clogged drain just became our problem to solve.
That backed-up sink, the shower that won’t drain, the toilet that keeps overflowing—we’re already grabbing our gear. Call us now at (707) 200-8350 and will get your day back on track starting now.

We refuse to let you end up with a pseudo-fixed drain. Too many Petaluma homeowners have called us after another company “cleared” a clog that came right back. We don’t just push the problem down the line—we find the real cause and fix it properly. That’s the only way we know how to work.

Take These Steps Right Now

Call GoFlow Plumbing at (707) 200-8350—we’re ready to move.
If multiple fixtures are backing up, stop using water immediately—this signals a main line issue.
If there’s active overflow, protect the area from water damage and avoid chemical drain cleaners (they often make things worse).
If it’s a single slow drain, we can still help—especially if it keeps coming back.

We’ll handle everything else from here.

A Drain Cleaning Methodology of Respect

Drop cloths and shoe covers are just the start of the respect we show your home. We treat your home like our own mom’s. When we leave, your home will be cleaner than when we arrived. We walk you through every option—honest guidance from plumbers who genuinely want the best outcome for you, not the biggest invoice.

Some clogs need a simple cable clearing. Some need a camera inspection to find the real cause. Some need hydro jetting when buildup is the culprit. We’ll explain what we recommend and why, then do the work cleanly and carefully—especially in older Petaluma plumbing where the wrong approach can cause expensive damage.

Three generations of our family have been providing drain cleaning services in Petaluma. We know the clay soil issues, the heritage tree root patterns, and exactly what your home needs. This isn’t just a job for us—it’s our craft.

Why Petaluma Calls Us First

We fix drains so they stay fixed. When we pack up and leave, you shouldn’t have to think about that drain again for years. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to.

Petaluma is home. Three generations of our family have worked these streets. We know which neighborhoods have clay pipes, which have cast iron, and which have root problems from those beautiful heritage oaks. We don’t guess—we know.

We’ve seen every shortcut fail. Other plumbers punch through clogs and call it done. We’ve been called to re-fix those jobs too many times. We’d rather do it right once.

The price we quote is the price you pay. No surprise line items. No “while we’re here” upsells.

Call (707) 200-8350 and let’s get this handled.

Petaluma Drain Cleaning Questions

How do I know if a clog is in my fixture or the main line?

If only one sink/shower is slow, it may be a localized clog. If multiple fixtures are backing up (or a downstairs drain backs up when you run water upstairs), that often points to a main line issue. Stop running water and call us so we can prevent a bigger backup.

Do you work on older Petaluma plumbing like cast iron or clay lines?

Yes. Older systems often need a more careful approach. We’ll choose the right method for your pipe type, explain the plan, and avoid unnecessary damage—especially in historic homes and buildings.

What causes recurring clogs?

Common causes include grease buildup, roots, pipe scale, a belly (sag) in the line, or a damaged section. If a clog keeps returning, a camera inspection can show us the real cause so we can recommend the right fix.

Is hydro-jetting service safe for my pipes?

It depends on the pipe type and condition. Hydro-jetting is excellent for heavy buildup, but we won’t use it when it’s not appropriate. We’ll recommend the safest option that solves the problem and reduces repeat clogs.

Can you help if my kitchen drain keeps clogging?

Yes. Kitchen lines often clog from grease and food buildup. We can clear the blockage and, if needed, clean the line so it drains well—then give you simple prevention steps that actually work.

What We Clear in Petaluma Homes

From D Street Victorians to east side subdivisions, we’ve unclogged every type of drain Petaluma can throw at us:

Bathroom Blockages

Toilets that refuse to flush properly
Showers pooling with hair and soap residue
Tubs that take forever to empty
Sinks gurgling or draining slowly
Several fixtures acting up together

Kitchen Clogs

Jammed garbage disposals
Sinks standing full of water
Dishwasher backup issues
Food particle buildup
Grease-clogged lines

Laundry & Utility Issues

Washer drains overflowing mid-cycle
Utility sink backups
Garage or basement floor drains
Sump line problems

Sewer Line Troubles

Multiple drains failing at once
Foul odors from drains
Heritage tree roots in your lines
Cracked or collapsed pipes

That slow drain won’t fix itself. Call (707) 200-8350 before it becomes a flood.

Our Process: No Guessing, Just Results

Petaluma’s mix of historic homes and newer construction means we can’t use a one-size-fits-all approach:

1. Find the Problem

We run water, check fixtures, and listen to your plumbing system. One clog or a bigger issue? Cameras go in when we need to see what’s happening deep in the line.

2. Explain Everything

You’ll know what we found and what it costs before we touch anything. Plain English. No games. You decide what makes sense.

3. Clear It Out

Cable machine for routine clogs. Hydro jetting for stubborn buildup. Root cutters when Petaluma’s heritage oaks have found their way in. We keep at it until the drain line is truly clear.

4. Confirm and Advise

We verify everything flows freely, then share tips to prevent future problems. If we spotted something concerning, we’ll mention it—but we don’t push repairs you don’t need.

Midnight Backup? We’re On It.

Clogs don’t check the clock, and neither do we. Flooded basement on D Street at 2 AM? Kitchen backup in Westridge before Sunday brunch? We’ve handled both—and worse. Our trucks stay stocked, and we’ve been answering emergency calls in Petaluma for decades.

Call (707) 200-8350 whenever you need us. Seriously, any hour.

Petaluma’s Unique Drain Challenges

Petaluma’s architectural heritage—from restored Victorians downtown to mid-century ranch homes on the west side—demands real local expertise. Here’s what makes drain cleaning here different:

Historic District

D Street, downtown, the areas on the National Register—some of the oldest plumbing in Sonoma County. Century-old cast iron, clay pipes, drain configurations that made sense in 1910. We use careful techniques that don’t destroy what makes these homes special.

West Side Ranch Homes

Mid-century homes with mature landscaping. Those heritage oaks planted 50 years ago? Their roots are now finding every pipe joint. We’re root-conscious and know what we’re walking into.

River-Adjacent Properties

The Petaluma River and high water tables affect drainage downtown and in low-lying areas. Saturated soil, sewer laterals sitting in wet ground, different challenges than the hills.

East Side & Newer Areas

1990s-2000s construction with modern materials—but these homes are now 25-30 years old. First-generation fixtures wearing out, original drain systems showing their age.

How to Avoid Calling Us (It’s Okay, We Get It)

Smart Moves:

Strainers in every drain—cheap insurance
Hot water flush after running the disposal
Deal with slow drains before they stop completely
Maintenance visits if you’ve had recurring problems

Stuff That Causes Problems:

Grease down the drain (it solidifies and catches everything)
“Flushable” wipes (they’re not, really)
Chemical drain cleaners (they eat your pipes)
That gurgling sound you’ve been ignoring (that’s your drain asking for help)
