  1. Water sitting in the sink or tub

    Draining slower than it used to is usually buildup narrowing the pipe, well before it blocks completely.

  2. Gurgling after it drains

    Air being pulled through a partly blocked line, or a vent that isn’t doing its job.

  3. A smell you can’t clean away

    Food, grease or hair breaking down inside the pipe, or sewer gas getting in where it shouldn’t.

  4. Water coming back up

    The tub filling when the toilet flushes, or the washer draining into the shower, points further down the line.

  5. More than one drain at once

    Several slow drains together usually means the main line, not the fixtures themselves.

  6. The clog that keeps coming back

    If it’s back a few weeks after it was cleared, whatever caused it is still in the pipe.

Sound like yours?

Where’s the clog?Tap a drain in the house.

Just the kitchen sink

The clog is usually in the trap under the sink, or the short run of pipe between the sink and the main stack.

Usually caused by

  • Cooking grease and oil
  • Food scraps and coffee grounds
  • Soap sticking to the grease

If the dishwasher backs up into the sink too, it’s further along the kitchen line.

  • “There was no beating around the bush when it came to pricing.”

    Taysom was awesome! Showed up on time got straight to the point. There was no beating around the bush when it came to pricing. It was clear and straightforward. I had a clog in my bathroom shower. They knew exactly what to do, were in and out within a few hours, and they smelled clean. Highly recommend to anyone looking for excellent service at a great rate

  • “Work was done with great quality and quickly for a good price!”

    Got to talk to Eric about my project, he was straightforward, honest and accommodating. Logan called and gave me a ETA before showing up. Work was done with great quality and quickly for a good price! I plan on using them again.

  • “They even noticed a heavy package sitting on our front porch and brought it inside for us.”

    We recently had Taysom Plumbing do some work on our bathroom shower, and we had a great experience. The pricing was fair, the work was done well, and they cleaned everything up when they were finished. They were all so kind and polite! They even noticed a heavy package sitting on our front porch and brought it inside for us. It was such a thoughtful gesture and definitely went above and beyond. We're really happy with the work and would absolutely recommend Taysom Plumbing to anyone looking for a plumber you can trust. We'll definitely be calling them again when we need plumbing work in the future!

  • “Eric Taysom was there for us every step of the way.”

    We had an absolute plumbing disaster in our home, and Eric Taysom was there for us every step of the way. From the very beginning, he was incredibly responsive, available, and genuinely compassionate about what we were going through. He took the time to carefully assess the situation, explain our options, and come up with thoughtful solutions rather than just trying to get the job done as quickly as possible. …

    Honest, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about doing a good job. They’re the kind of people you feel comfortable recommending to friends and family—which is especially important when your plumbing decides to ruin your day... Highly recommend!

  • “Everything was done by the end of the day which was a huge relief.”

    Had a really good experience with Taysom Plumbing. We could hear water running somewhere in our bathroom and then noticed it was starting to leak into the garage. Called them and they were able to come out that same day, find where the leak was and repipe that section. Everything was done by the end of the day which was a huge relief. …

Questions

Drain questions.Straight answers.

Still wondering?

We’d rather you ask than guess.

Is it one drain or the main line?

One slow drain is usually that fixture’s own line. Several at once, or water coming up in the tub when you flush, usually means the main line. Not sure? Call Taysom Plumbing and tell us what you’re seeing.

Why does my drain keep clogging?

Usually because whatever caused it is still in the pipe: grease, hair, roots, or a section of pipe that sags. That’s why we find out why it clogged, not just clear it and leave.

Are store-bought drain cleaners safe to use?

They can shift a soft clog, but the harsh ones can be hard on older pipes and don’t remove what caused it. If you’ve already poured some in, tell us before we start.

How much will it cost?

We look at the problem first, explain what we found, and give you the options with a price for each. Nothing starts until you’ve agreed to it.

Which areas do you cover?

All of Orange County: 41 cities and communities, from La Habra down to San Clemente. If you don’t see yours on the list, call us and ask.
