When a clogged drain slows down your day, you need a team that clears it fast and gets it right the first time. ABT Plumbing has provided trusted clogged drain service to Placer and Nevada Counties since 2000, when founder Andrew B. Twidwell built the company on honest work and local roots. We were named Nevada County’s Best Plumbing Company in 2004 and 2005 and voted Best Plumber in Auburn for the last three years, and homeowners and businesses across the region still call us for the same reason: results you can count on.
Our process is built around accuracy first, so we fix the actual problem instead of guessing at it. Here’s what to expect when you call us:
Residential Drain Cleaning
We handle everyday clogs in kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, and laundry lines that disrupt household life. Our hydro jetting equipment cuts through grease and buildup that standard store-bought drain cleaners can’t touch, and our drain snaking service is often all it takes to get a stubborn line moving again.
Commercial Drain Cleaning
Restaurants, multi-unit buildings, and other commercial properties in Placer and Nevada Counties trust ABT Plumbing for grease trap maintenance, sewer line repair, and clogged drain service that keeps operations running smoothly. A blocked drain at a business isn’t just an inconvenience; it can mean lost revenue, so our team stays responsive and ready to help when you need us most.
A slow sink or a gurgling tub can seem like a minor annoyance, but putting off drain cleaning almost always costs more in the long run. Professional service delivers benefits a store-bought drain opener can’t match:
Prevents Costly Emergencies
A small clog left alone can turn into a full backup or a burst line at the worst possible moment. Our regular clogged drain service catches buildup early, before it becomes a middle-of-the-night call.
Protects Your Pipes
Liquid drain cleaners are harsh chemicals that can corrode old pipes over time. Our drain snaking service and hydro jetting clear blockages mechanically, without damaging your line.
Solves the Real Problem
A clog that keeps coming back is usually a sign of something bigger, like invasive tree roots or a sagging section of pipe. Our root service and camera inspections find the actual cause instead of masking it for a few weeks.
Improves Water Flow and Pressure
Built-up grease, hair, and mineral scale narrow your pipes over time. When we clear that buildup, it restores water pressure and lets your fixtures drain the way they’re supposed to.
Reduces Odors and Unsanitary Conditions
Trapped debris and standing water breed bacteria and mold, the source of a lot of stubborn drain odors. When we clear the line, we remove that source, rather than covering up the smell.
Extends the Life of Your Plumbing System
Keeping your lines clear reduces strain on your entire system, helping fixtures, pipes, and your sewer line last longer.

Most residential drains benefit from a professional check and clean once a year, though homes with older pipes or frequent clogs may need service more often. Commercial kitchens and multi-unit properties often require more frequent maintenance due to higher usage.
Hydro jetting can be safely used on most pipe materials, but a professional should evaluate the condition of older pipes first. Our technicians inspect the line before choosing hydro jetting, our drain snaking service, or a root service approach, so the method matches the actual condition of your pipes.
Yes. Drain backups don’t wait for convenient timing, and neither do we. We stay responsive to urgent calls for both residential and commercial customers.
