Drain & Sewer Cleaning in Salem, OR

Slow drains, gurgling toilets, or standing water in your tub are more than a nuisance—they’re a sign of trouble brewing deep in your plumbing system. At A1 Plumbing Inc., we know how disruptive and stressful drain clogs and sewer backups can be for Salem homeowners and businesses. Our team responds quickly to clear blockages, restore proper flow, and help you avoid bigger problems down the line.

Common Drain & Sewer Problems We Solve

Clogged kitchen sink that won’t drain? Toilet or shower backing up? Gurgling sounds or foul odors from your drains? These symptoms all point to an obstruction somewhere in your pipes or main sewer line. Ignoring these signs can lead to messy backups, water damage, or even costly repairs if the problem spreads.



You’re not alone—Salem’s mix of older homes, tree-lined streets, and seasonal rainfall means clogged drains are a frequent headache for residents and property managers alike.

Preventing Recurring Drain Problems

If you’ve had more than one clog in the same drain, or backups keep happening, you need more than a quick fix. Our plumbers look for the root cause of your drain trouble, whether it’s invading tree roots, cracked pipes, bellied sewer lines, or heavy buildup from years of use.
