Who we are

Meet the owner

Right Away is a family-owned sewer and drain cleaning company run by owner Pablo Tapia. From routine clogs to urgent sewer backups, our team focuses on fast, reliable, affordable work with honest pricing and friendly support — and on doing the job right the first time with modern equipment and proven methods.

If you’ve called us, there’s a good chance you talked to Pablo himself. Customers mention him by name in their reviews.

“We take the time to identify the cause of the clog, not just clear it. Our goal is a long-term solution, not a temporary fix.”

Pablo Tapia, Owner
How we work

Clear it, explain it, prevent the next one

01

Find the cause, not just the clog

We clean the line thoroughly and check for bigger problems while we’re there — tree roots, pipe damage or buildup — so you know what you’re dealing with.

02

Camera when it keeps coming back

Recurring backups can mean a damaged or broken pipe, not a simple clog. Then we recommend a sewer camera inspection so the fix lasts.

03

Honest advice you can use

We explain what caused the blockage and how to keep it from happening again, so you can avoid expensive repairs down the road.

A job we remember

The main line that kept backing up

“The line kept backing up despite previous cleaning attempts. Tree roots had grown into it — and the pipe had a Y connection installed the wrong way, so every time it was cleaned, the cable went down the wrong side. With a lot of effort we cleared it, then ran our sewer camera through the line to find the underlying issue.”

Pablo Tapia, Owner

That’s why we camera-inspect lines that keep clogging: what looks like a stubborn clog is sometimes the pipe itself.

Before you grab the plunger

DIY mistakes we see

  • Renting a sewer snakeThe cable can get stuck inside the pipe and make the problem worse.
  • Too much DranoHarsh chemicals can damage or weaken some types of pipe over time.
  • Plunging a deep clogA plunger can push the blockage farther down the line instead of removing it.
