We start with $45 to snake the line, meaning a plumbing cable clears the blockage. If that does not work, we go over a full visual inspection inside the pipes and its price on site.

Call us now: (818) 200-6572What the visit actually includes
You pay for the step the drain needs. Most clogs clear with the cable, and the camera comes in when they do not.
A licensed plumber snakes the line that is backing up. Same day where we can.
If needed, we go over a full visual inspection inside the pipes and its price on site, and you watch the screen.
Roots, a belly, cast iron scale, or nothing at all. You get told which.
If the line needs a repair, you get a written number and you approve it.
Licensed C-10 and C-36. A pump, a disposal or a panel gets handled same visit.
If we find a cracked section and cut it out, that labor is warrantied for two years.
Start to finish
Four stages. Most drains stop at stage two, and you only pay for the step you need.
You call, or answer two questions. We confirm the price and the window before we book.
A licensed plumber snakes the line for $45. If that clears it, the job is done.
If the cable will not clear it, we go over a full visual inspection inside the pipes and its price on site.
Live on the screen when the camera goes in. Roots, a belly, scale, or nothing at all.
Then the drain decides
The clog was just a clog. The cable clears it, we pack up and go, and nothing else is owed.
A cable punched a hole through it. A jetter scours the wall back to full diameter so it stops coming back.
Most plumbers tell you the whole line is gone. We show you the crack on camera and give you the option to cut out that one section now, with the full replacement left for later. Spot repairs carry a two-year labor warranty.
What the $45 covers
A licensed plumber out to your house, snaking the line through an accessible cleanout. It is $45 whether or not the snake clears it. Removing a toilet, disconnecting a P-trap or taking anything apart to reach the drain is priced separately, and we go over that price on site before we do it.
What happens if it will not snake
If the line will not snake, the next step may be hydro jetting, quoted before it starts. If a look inside the pipes finds cracks or roots, you get a written repair price before any work starts. Homeowners and business owners only, no property management.
Who shows up
You will know who is at your door. Power Route has 15 years of experience. Our techs arrive in branded vehicles and carry both trade licenses under one company, and you approve the price before any work starts.
When cabling is not the answer
A cable punches a hole through the blockage. A jetter scours the pipe wall back to its original diameter. If your line is full of grease, scale or roots, the second one is what actually ends the problem.
Start with the $45 visitBoth trades, one license holder
Most drain companies hand you a second phone number the moment the job crosses a trade line. We hold both licenses, so we finish it.
Kitchen, bath, toilet and main line.
Grease, scale and root intrusion.
When needed, to see inside the pipe.
Spot repair and trenchless replacement.
Slab leaks and pressure testing.
Whole-home copper and PEX.
Tankless and heat pump.
Panels, EV chargers and generators.
What customers say
“I had some pipes leaking in my front yard. They immediately solved the problem and did not overcharge me. They let me know that the valves actually just needs to be tightened. I feel like any other plumber would’ve charged me a bunch of money… but not power route.”
“They went above and beyond by giving us a breakdown of what the cheaper option vs the best solution would look like in terms of cost and long term solution… Power Route was very transparent and delivered high quality work.”
“Told them my issue, they gave a solution and executed. Cannot stress to say how rare it is for their level of professionalism in the industry. 35 years family GC business, 3 years as a Real Estate Broker, i know good work when I see it.”
Where we work
Same-day drain service across the San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita, Glendale, Pasadena and central LA. The shop is on Saticoy Street in Van Nuys.
Good to know
A licensed plumber coming out and snaking the line through an accessible cleanout. It is $45 whether or not the snake clears it. Removing a toilet, disconnecting a P-trap or taking anything apart to reach the drain is priced separately, and we go over that price on site before we do it.
When a drain keeps backing up, a full visual inspection inside the pipes tells both of us the truth. If the line is sound, you have seen that yourself. If it is not, you have seen the crack rather than taken our word for it, and you get to decide what to do about it.
Usually a belly. Old cast iron pipe dips down in spots, paper catches in the dip, and it backs up again a few weeks later. Snaking clears the paper. It does not lift the pipe. That is why we look, and why we will tell you if cutting out that one section is the fix rather than replacing the whole line.
Both. CSLB 1136300 covers C-10 electrical and C-36 plumbing. That is unusual in Los Angeles, and it means one crew can finish a job that crosses trades instead of handing you a second phone number.
Call and ask before you book. We quote the price up front either way, and you approve it before any work starts. Financing is available through Wisetack and Synchrony on the larger repair work.
