Drains and Sewers clog for a variety of reasons.
Professional drain cleaning requires expertise and specialized equipment. Our services cover residential and commercial properties throughout the region. Drain cleaning is important because of the city’s aging infrastructure. The sewer system in Sacramento is over 100 years old in some parts, and it’s not unusual for tree roots to cause blockages. Grease and cooking oil can also build up and cause clogs; if you have a septic tank, it’s essential to have it cleaned out regularly to prevent clogs.
If you have a clogged or damaged drain pipe, it’s important to fix it as soon as possible. Otherwise, you could be at risk for water damage, sewer backups, and even flooding.
Which drains in your home are prone to clogging?
Clogged drains are one of the most common plumbing problems. They can occur in any drain in your home, including:
Kitchen sinks
The kitchen sink is one of the most commonly used drains in the home, so it’s not surprising that it can become clogged. Some of the most common causes of kitchen sink clogs include:
– When grease and cooking oil are poured down the drain, they can solidify and create problems in the drains.
– Food can also cause clogs in the drains, especially if it’s not properly disposed of.
– Coffee grounds can also build up and cause clogs in the drains.
– Hair can also become tangled in the drain and cause a blockage.
Bathroom sinks
The bathroom sink is another commonly used drain that can become clogged. Some of the most common causes of bathroom sink clogs include:
– Soap can build up in the drain and cause a blockage.
– Hair can also become tangled in the drain and cause a blockage.
– Toothpaste can also build up and cause clogs.
– Too much tissue paper can also cause clogs.
Toilet
The toilet is one of the most important fixtures in the home, but it’s also one of the most commonly clogged. Some of the most common causes of toilet clogs include:
– When too much toilet paper is flushed down the toilet, it can cause a blockage.
– Baby wipes should never be flushed down, as they can cause clogs.
– Feminine hygiene products can also cause clogs if they’re flushed down the toilet.
Signs You Need Drain Cleaning
There are a few signs that indicate you need a residential drain cleaning service:
- Pressure & Flow Changes -If you notice a decrease in water pressure or flow, it could be a sign of a clog;
- Slow Drains – If your drains are draining slower than usual, it could be a sign of a clog;
- Noises from the drains – If you hear gurgling noises coming from your drains, it’s a sign that air is trapped in the pipes and needs to be released;
- Sewer backups – If you notice sewer backups, it’s a sign that your drains are seriously clogged and need to be cleaned as soon as possible;
- Unusual smell/foul odors – If you have any unusual odors coming from your drains, that’s another sign that you need to schedule service;

5 Star Plumbing Reviews

When I first called, Mo answered and was able to get me scheduled, which I appreciated. However, during the call, I was interrupted several times while explaining my information. My email address was written down incorrectly, so I didn’t receive the receipt until later. I understand my email is long, but I was in the process of clearly and phonetically spelling it out when I was cut off, which led to the mistake. Customer communication and patience go a long way, especially when trying to earn and maintain business relationships.
That being said, Amir did a great job. He arrived on time, diagnosed the toilet issue, explained what needed to be replaced, and ordered the correct part. Mo later followed up, we corrected the email issue, and scheduled the return visit. Amir came back early (which I appreciated), and he quickly and efficiently replaced the flush valve.
Overall, the repair work itself was excellent. I would just encourage a bit more attentiveness and patience during phone conversations. Thank you.

He coordinated seamlessly with my contractor, removed the old water heater in the late morning, and returned late afternoon to install a Bradford White unit with a thermal expansion tank after drywall was finished. My contractor said Amir was friendly and got along with everyone.
Professional, efficient, and easy to work with. Highly recommend Amir and 5 Star Plumbing.
First pic is old water heater.
Second pic is new water heater.

Here it is 4:30 and he just got done installing a 50 gallon water heater. Some of the things were out of his control. What normally takes 1 and 1/2 hours took two and a half hours longer.
The pan that went underneath the heater he used the last one at his previous job so he had to go get another one.
Then the manufacturer failed to put in the vent that goes on top of the heater. After half an hour of looking then another twenty minutes of phone calls with me helping him on a couple he found one at Red's Plumbing. He drove up there and bought the last one. Rheems fault.
Things happen. We have water though.
I work nights. It's going to be a long night on two hours of sleep.
The install looks sharp. Thank you.
The end. Zzzzzzzzz

The technician, Mze, arrived with a helper to diagnose the issue. They were both professional and took the time to listen to the sounds and inspect the drainage system. After a thorough look, they explained that the sounds were actually normal for my specific setup and didn't indicate a major clog or venting problem.
I really appreciated their honesty—it’s refreshing to have a service team that doesn't try to upsell you on unnecessary repairs when everything is functioning as it should. If you are looking for a reliable team that values integrity and quality service, I highly recommend Mze and the crew at 4 Star.




Highly recommend them for anyone looking for reliable and professional plumbing work.

But the plumber olejandro was extremely good and was able to quickly find the cause of the leak. He then gave me an estimate for the fix. I paid the $150 service charge which they said would be deducted from my final estimate. I received the invoice but no call back for the actual work. However i was reached out by the company with an apology. So im giving 5 stars ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
