Complete Drain Unclogging Services for Jacksonville Homes & Businesses
At River City Plumbing, we handle all types of drain clogs from minor kitchen sink backups to major sewer line blockages. Our licensed plumbers use advanced equipment to locate and remove obstructions quickly and safely, minimizing disruption to your home or business.

Kitchen Sink Drain Cleaning
Kitchen drains are magnets for grease, food particles, and soap residue. Over time, these substances coat your pipes and create stubborn blockages that slow or stop drainage completely.
We use professional drain snakes and hydro jetting equipment to break through grease buildup and flush away debris. For tougher clogs, we can perform a video camera inspection to see exactly what's causing the problem.
Common Causes:
-
Grease and cooking oil buildup
-
Food scraps (even with a garbage disposal)
-
Coffee grounds and eggshells
-
Soap scum accumulation
Bathroom Drain Unclogging (Sinks, Showers, Tubs)
Bathroom drains face a constant onslaught of hair, soap scum, toothpaste, and personal care products. These materials combine to form dense clogs that traditional plungers can't reach.
Our technicians use specialized drain augers designed specifically for bathroom fixtures. We can clear hair clogs, remove soap buildup, and restore proper drainage without damaging your pipes or fixtures.
What We Clear:
-
Hair and soap scum clogs in showers and tubs
-
Bathroom sink slow drains
-
Pop-up stopper obstructions
-
Standing water in bathtubs
Jacksonville's hard water makes bathroom clogs worse. The minerals in our water supply bond with soap and create a thick, sticky residue that coats pipes. Regular professional drain cleaning prevents these buildups from causing major blockages.
Toilet Unclogging & Repair
A clogged toilet is more than just embarrassing; it's a plumbing emergency. Whether it's a simple paper blockage or something more serious lodged in your sewer line, you need help fast.
We have commercial-grade toilet augers that can reach deep into your drain lines. For stubborn blockages, we use camera inspection to identify the exact location and cause of the clog before clearing it safely.
What Causes Toilet Clogs:
-
Excessive toilet paper
-
Flushing non-flushable items (wipes, feminine products, paper towels)
-
Foreign objects (common in homes with children)
-
Tree root infiltration in older homes
-
Low-flow toilet design issues
Emergency toilet unclogging available 24/7. We know toilet backups can't wait. Call us anytime, day or night, and we'll get a licensed plumber to your Jacksonville home quickly.
Main Sewer Line Cleaning
When your main sewer line gets clogged, it affects every drain in your house. Multiple fixtures backing up simultaneously is a telltale sign of a main line blockage and it requires immediate professional attention.
We use powerful hydro jetting equipment that blasts away years of buildup, tree roots, and stubborn obstructions. Our high-pressure water jets (up to 4,000 PSI) scour your pipes clean without damaging them, restoring full flow to your entire plumbing system.
Common Main Line Blockages:
-
Tree root intrusion (especially in older Jacksonville neighborhoods)
-
Collapsed or damaged pipes
-
Grease buildup from years of accumulation
-
Foreign objects lodged in the line
-
"Bellied" pipes that sag and trap debris
Why hydro jetting is better than snaking: While drain snakes can poke a hole through a clog, hydro jetting completely clears the pipe walls, removing all debris and buildup. It's the most thorough drain cleaning method available and provides longer-lasting results.
Storm Drain & Outdoor Drain Cleaning
Jacksonville's heavy rainfall can quickly overwhelm clogged storm drains, leading to flooding around your property. Outdoor drains clogged with leaves, dirt, and debris can cause water damage to your foundation and landscaping.
We clear storm drains, French drains, and outdoor drainage systems to ensure water flows away from your property properly. Our service includes removing debris, flushing lines, and checking for damage.
