Drain Cleaning in Cathedral City, CA
Clogged drains are the bread-and-butter plumbing call in Cathedral City, and the housing stock shapes what plumbers find: tract neighborhoods and one of the valley’s larger mobile-home stocks, which on many streets means ABS plastic drain lines. A standard kitchen, tub or shower clog is usually cleared in under an hour at a flat rate.
The honest number: $150–$500 covers most drain cleaning work in California, with Cathedral City labor at $95–$170/hr and $60–$110 to get a truck to the door. What moves your quote inside that range is scope — which is why itemized bids beat phone estimates. For the state-wide view, see the Drain Cleaning cost guide.

What kind of drain pipes should I expect in Cathedral City?
Cathedral City is built out mostly in the 1970s–90s — tract neighborhoods and one of the valley’s larger mobile-home stocks — so the typical answer is ABS plastic drain lines. That pipe generation is largely trouble-free; when clogs recur, look at usage and slope before suspecting the pipe itself.
Why does my drain keep clogging?
A drain that clogs repeatedly usually has a partial obstruction further down: grease buildup, scale in old galvanized pipe, a bellied line, or roots in the sewer. A camera inspection ($150–$500) identifies the cause instead of treating the symptom.
