Drain Cleaning in Gilbert
Gilbert’s East Valley Drain Experts Since 1949
When a drain backs up, the cause matters as much as the fix. At Mesa Plumbing Company, we inspect first to find exactly where the blockage is and what caused it, then match the clearing method to what we actually find. That approach has worked for Gilbert homeowners and businesses for decades, and it’s still how we work today.
Founded in 1949, Mesa Plumbing Company is the first plumbing company established in Mesa and a three-generation, family-owned business. We serve Gilbert and the surrounding East Valley for both residential and commercial drain cleaning. Most of our new customers come to us through referrals, which tells us more about the quality of our work than any advertisement could.

Signs Your Gilbert Property Needs Drain Cleaning
Some drain problems announce themselves loudly. Others show up as minor annoyances that quietly worsen over time. Either way, these are the signs we look for:
Watch for any of these:
- Slow-draining sinks, showers, or tubs
- Frequent or recurring clogs in the same fixture
- Foul odors rising from drains
- Gurgling sounds when water drains or a toilet flushes
- Water backing up into a tub, sink, or floor drain
- Multiple fixtures clogging at the same time
- Overflowing or slow-flushing toilets
- Wet spots or pooling water near floor drains or cleanouts
Multiple fixtures clogging simultaneously often point to a main sewer line backup rather than an isolated blockage. That distinction changes the clearing method, which is exactly why we inspect before we act.

What Causes Clogged Drains in Gilbert
Most clogs build up gradually. Hair, soap scum, grease, and food particles accumulate on pipe walls until flow slows to a trickle. According to the Town of Gilbert, tap water here averages 8 to 10 grains per gallon in hardness, so hard-water mineral scale adds another layer of narrowing inside pipes over time. Foreign objects, tree root intrusion into older sewer lines, pipe corrosion, and shifting soil round out what we find on most service calls.
Knowing the cause and location of the blockage is what makes the difference between clearing a drain once and addressing the problem.
How We Clear Drains
Before any tool goes into a pipe, our technicians inspect the plumbing system to identify the cause and location of the blockage. That step determines which method we use.
Our three primary methods:
- Drain snaking: A motorized auger breaks up or retrieves soft clogs like hair and grease buildup. It’s the right starting point for most routine blockages.
- Hydro jetting: High-pressure water scours pipe walls clean, cutting through grease buildup, mineral scale, and even early-stage tree root intrusion. We use this when snaking alone may not hold.
- Video camera inspection: A small camera travels through the pipe so we can see exactly what’s there, where it is, and whether pipe damage is contributing to the problem. Useful for main sewer line clogs, recurring blockages, and situations where the cause isn’t obvious.
Our plumbers average more than 20 years of hands-on experience, so method selection isn’t guesswork. We also strongly discourage store-bought chemical drain cleaners. Those caustic solutions can generate heat that softens PVC pipe, accelerate corrosion in metal lines, and often leave the underlying blockage untouched.
For most households, we recommend preventive drain maintenance every 18 to 24 months. Homes with older pipe materials or large trees near the sewer line benefit from annual service to stay ahead of root intrusion and buildup.
