Drain Cleaning – King City, OR
True Flow Plumbing provides drain cleaning throughout King City, Oregon. King City's 1970s ABS sewer laterals are now 45 to 55 years old — and the community's coordinated development means its landscape trees all matured at the same time. Those mature trees have had decades to find the joints in King City's ABS laterals, and root intrusion is now one of the most common causes of recurring main line backups in the city. We camera before we clear, because root intrusion requires a different approach than a simple grease clog — and knowing which one you're dealing with prevents the cycle of clearing and re-clogging that wastes time and money.
King City ABS Laterals at 45–55 Years: What to Expect
ABS pipe itself typically holds up well structurally at this age. The issues are at the joints — where roots have been working their way in — and inside the pipe, where 45-plus years of grease and organic accumulation have narrowed the interior diameter. In most King City homes, the ABS lateral is still serviceable; the question is how aggressively roots have infiltrated and how much buildup exists. The camera answers both questions in one visit, and the clearing method follows from what it finds.

Frequently Asked Questions
I had my King City drain snaked six months ago and it's backing up again. What's the pattern telling me?
That recurring pattern — clear, re-clog, clear again — is almost always roots or pipe belly. Snaking breaks through accumulated root mass and debris; flow returns; the roots regrow through the same joints over the following months. Hydro jetting removes more of the root mass, and CIPP lining seals the joints roots entered — eliminating the recurring entry point. The camera confirms which joints are affected so we can target the fix.
