Fast, affordable, and thorough solutions for clogged drains in your home.
Slow drains, standing water, or recurring clogs can quickly turn from a minor inconvenience into a serious plumbing problem. Whether it’s a backed-up kitchen sink, a stubborn shower drain, or a main sewer line blockage, you need a team that can act fast and fix the issue right the first time.
At IRBIS HVAC, we provide professional drain cleaning and plumbing services for homeowners across San Jose and the surrounding Bay Area. Our licensed plumbers use advanced equipment to locate and clear even the toughest clogs — restoring proper drainage without damage or mess. Need more than just drain cleaning? We also offer sewer services, water pipe repairs, and full plumbing solutions to keep your home’s system running smoothly.
Clogs often start small — catch them early to avoid costly repairs.
Common signs: Water pools around your feet in the shower or takes several minutes to empty from the kitchen sink after doing dishes.
What we do: We perform a professional drain cleaning using specialized augers to remove the buildup of hair, grease, or soap scum that is narrowing your pipes.
Common signs: You see water rising in the shower or tub when you run the bathroom sink, or worse, when you flush the toilet.
What we do: This often indicates a blockage further down the line. We’ll use a camera inspection to locate the "plug" and clear it to ensure water only flows in one direction—away from your home.
Common signs: You’ve used a plunger or store-bought cleaner multiple times, but the same drain keeps clogging again within a week or two.
What we do: Recurring clogs mean the root cause hasn't been removed. We’ll perform a deep descaling of the pipe walls to ensure a permanent solution rather than a temporary fix.
Common signs: A persistent smell of rotten eggs, sewage, or decaying food coming from your drains, even when they aren't in use.
What we do: We locate the source of the odor—often rotting organic matter trapped in the pipes—and provide a thorough sanitizing flush to eliminate bacteria and smells at the source.
Common signs: You hear "glug" sounds coming from the pipes after the water has finished draining, or your toilet bubbles when you run the sink.
What we do: Gurgling is a sign of trapped air caused by a partial blockage or a venting issue. We’ll clear the obstruction and check your system's venting to equalize pressure and silence the noise.
Common signs: Two or more drains in different parts of your home (e.g., the kitchen and the laundry room) are acting up at the same time.
What we do: This is a classic sign of a main sewer line issue. We’ll deploy High-Pressure Hydro-Jetting to clear the entire main line of roots, wipes, and debris, restoring flow to your whole house.
Common signs: You notice small flies around your sinks or drains that won't go away, even after cleaning the kitchen.
What we do: These pests breed in the organic "sludge" that builds up in dirty drains. A professional IRBIS drain cleaning removes their breeding ground, solving the problem at its root.

Fantastic experience replacing our outdated gas furnace and water heater with a new heat pump system. The team was professional and efficient. The best part? We saved thousands thanks to the generous rebates available. This upgrade is definitely worth it.

Cannot be happier with my new Heat pump water heater. It's been 2 weeks since I have it and it's working great! Tim did a thorough evaluation and installers performed neat work. Evan called to make sure we are all set up! Definitely use them again!

Questions & Answers
Drain cleaning is the process of removing buildup, blockages, and debris from your home’s drainage pipes. Professional drain cleaning helps prevent clogs, eliminates odors, and keeps your plumbing system working efficiently.
Yes. Professional plumbers are fully equipped to clear clogs and clean your home’s drainage system. Unlike DIY methods, plumbers use specialized tools like drain snakes and hydro-jetting to remove tough blockages and restore proper flow.
Slow drainage, foul odors, gurgling sounds, and recurring clogs are common indicators. In more severe cases, you might notice water backing up into sinks, tubs, or floor drains.
For minor clogs, a plunger or drain snake can help. However, the most effective and long-lasting solution is professional drain cleaning. Technicians use hydro-jetting and other advanced methods to thoroughly clear your pipes without damaging them.
Vinegar and baking soda can help with light buildup or odors, but they won’t remove major clogs. For long-term results and to avoid pipe damage, professional cleaning is recommended.
Enzyme-based drain cleaners can help break down hair naturally, but they work slowly and are best for maintenance. For fast and complete removal, plumbers typically use drain snakes or hydro-jetting equipment.
