Our experience was terrific. We had a medium sized job: replace the 90 year old iron sewer connection out rom back of home, down the driveway and out to the property line, and add a BBQ island (sink, garbage disposal, gas appliances) in the back yard. All together about 150' of sewer plus venting for the BBQ island, and water, gas to the BBQ. All work was done with permits. The quote included connection to the sewer under the home (not just at the exterior foundation where other quotes specified). Communication was excellent. They arrived when they said they would. Both the principals and the workers are very good people. Work went quickly when not waiting on inspections (schedule inspections early!). I judge a firm by how they handle problems. In this case, the rough plumbing inspector gave the OK for a certain island venting technique. The different final inspector said it must be changed, and Gomez plumbing just fixed it promptly, all within the original quote. Of course we waited for a second final inspection before getting the project closed (schedule early!) Gomez is now our go-to plumber.

Expert Drain Snaking in San Jose And Surrounding Areas, CA
When a sink, shower, or toilet drains slowly, drain snaking is often the right first step. Gomez Sewer and Drain uses a flexible steel cable with a cutting head to break through and pull out blockages in kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, tub drains, and floor drains across San Jose and the surrounding areas. Many homes in Campbell, Los Gatos, and older San Jose neighborhoods were built with clay or cast iron drain lines. Those materials develop rough interior surfaces over time, which catch hair, grease, and soap scum and create stubborn clogs. Hard water common throughout Santa Clara County also leaves mineral deposits inside pipes, narrowing the line and slowing flow. Mature trees in established neighborhoods across Sunnyvale and Palo Alto can push roots into aging sewer laterals, turning a simple slow drain into a recurring problem. We assess the clog before we start so we use the right method for your specific pipe and situation. Call Gomez Sewer and Drain to get your drains flowing again.

Drain Snaking FAQ
Common questions about drain snaking in San Jose and Surrounding Areas, CA.
Drain snaking works well for single-fixture clogs caused by hair, grease, or soap buildup. If multiple drains in your San Jose home are slow at the same time, the problem may be deeper in the main line and may need a camera inspection.
Recurring clogs in Campbell homes often point to a rough or cracked section of pipe that keeps catching debris. Snaking clears the blockage, but a camera inspection can show whether a pipe issue is causing the repeat problem.
Yes, drain snaking is a low-pressure method that is generally safe for older clay and cast iron pipes found in many Los Gatos homes. We assess your pipe type before starting to choose the right cable and cutting head.
We snake kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, shower drains, bathtub drains, floor drains, and toilet lines throughout Sunnyvale. Each fixture type uses a specific cable size matched to the pipe diameter.
A drain snake with a cutting head can cut through small root intrusions in Palo Alto sewer laterals and restore flow. Heavier root growth may require hydro jetting or a camera inspection to confirm the full extent of the intrusion.
Clear the area under the sink or around the affected drain so our technician has direct access to the cleanout or fixture. Let us know if the drain has been treated with chemical cleaners, as that helps us handle the job safely in your Santa Clara home.
