How we work

How a service call works

  1. 01

    Call or send us the details

    Tell us what’s backed up and where you’re located. We’ll give you a price based on that before any work begins.

  2. 02

    A clear price up front

    Starting prices are listed on this site, and we confirm a firm price by phone. If the job turns out to be different, we’ll let you know before we start.

  3. 03

    We clear the line

    We snake, hydro-jet or inspect the line with a camera, depending on what it needs. Grease, roots and moss-filled gutters are common in this area, and we handle them routinely.

  4. 04

    We show you what we found

    We explain what we found in plain English. If you’d like to see the problem before a larger repair, you can add a camera inspection.

Why local matters

Moss, roots and two-story homes

Coastal drains fail differently than inland ones. Redwood roots work their way into sewer laterals, the marine layer grows moss that fills gutters and covers roofs, and many older two-story homes need roof access. We account for these conditions in the price we give you up front.

Free phone quotes. $95 on-site diagnostic, credited to the job. Call (831) 239-7023.

The published price plus a $195 after-hours fee for night calls and weekend calls outside our regular hours, and a $295 holiday fee. We’ll tell you the total before we head out.

Most sink, tub, or toilet clogs are same-visit jobs: snaking up to 50 feet, starting at $275 (range $225–$350). Main lines are starting at $475.

If a clog keeps coming back, you have roots, or you’re buying a house. $325–$450 standalone. $175 when added to any cleaning.

Book any two services on one visit and save $100 on the combined total. Gutter cleaning with demossing and drain cleaning with a camera inspection are common pairings.

We handle plumbing outside the walls only, such as fixture installation and leak repairs. This work is quoted per job rather than by the hour. We don’t offer in-wall repiping.

Cash, card, or check. Taxes are extra. The $599 maintenance plan includes two priority cleanings, one camera check, and 10% off repairs. We also take Zelle: send to 831-239-7023 enrolled as Koala Tree Services Inc. Put your invoice number in the memo when you have one.
