Hi,
Lately I noticed that the drainage from laundry / Kitchen is slow which might be because of residual deposits on inner lining on the pipes.
I tried cleaning it with drain solutions and even tried with 25' snake pipe. I am planning to buy a 50' snake pipe and before that would appreciate for any guidance.
Any suggestions or recommendations for good and economical drainage cleaners who can clean the complete drainage system.
BTW, I live around West San Jose, California.
TIA, George

If you can't get it clean at the laundry then perhaps you can try downstream (basement?) before you call in a pro. Roto Rooter is one brand name that is well known.
Have you tried some real hot water?
Second that. And REALLY hot water!
Put a couple of gallons from the water heater on the stove, add 1/4 cup salt, bring to a vigorous boil.

George, pouring chemicals down the drain seldom if ever cure plumbing problems. More often than not, they increase the problems. There is one possible exception to this statement - there are enzymes that eat organics that can work if the problem is built up soap scum/lint or something else the enzyme likes. Here is one:
