💰 How Much Does Professional Drain Cleaning Cost in Bakersfield?
Not all clogs are equal — and neither are the prices to clear them. So how much should you expect to pay for drain cleaning in Bakersfield?
We break it down based on the type of clog, access, and the plumber you choose.
⚙️ What’s the Average Cost?
In Bakersfield, professional drain cleaning typically ranges from:
- 💧 $79 to $249 for basic snaking (with cleanout access)
- 🚿 $150 to $400 for deeper clogs or hard-to-access drains
- 💦 $400+ for advanced methods like hydro-jetting or multiple drain issues
At A3 Plumbing, we currently offer $79 drain cleaning for homes with a ground-level cleanout — one of the best deals in town.
🔍 What Affects the Price?
Prices vary depending on:
- Access Point – Cleanout vs. toilet pull vs. roof vent
- Severity of the Clog – Soft blockage vs. roots or sludge
- Type of Drain – Kitchen sinks often easier than laundry lines
- Tools Needed – Basic cable machine vs. hydro-jetter
- Experience of the Plumber – Skilled pros diagnose faster = fewer hours
Beware of bait-and-switch pricing — some companies quote $49 and hit you with hundreds in upsells. At A3 Plumbing, we quote clearly and fix it the right way.
🚫 What You Should Avoid
- Big chain techs who push unnecessary jetting or repairs
- Letting backups go unchecked — this leads to bigger problems
