Drain and sewer rooting in San Gabriel
Old pepper trees and oaks on San Gabriel lots send roots into sewer lines. We root those, and every other drain in the house. Text (310) 628-9399.
Old trees, old laterals
Older San Gabriel neighborhoods have clay sewer laterals and decades-old trees. Roots work into the joints and catch everything that flows past.
We feed a powered cable from the cleanout to cut them out.
Inside the house
Kitchen lines clog with grease and food scraps; bath lines with hair and soap. Each gets a cable sized for the pipe.
After rooting
We run water through every affected fixture and tell you what came back on the cable.
Lines with heavy roots benefit from regular clearing.
Clay laterals and old cleanouts
Some San Gabriel homes have cleanouts buried under landscaping. We help locate them before rooting.
A cleanout that stays exposed makes future work simpler.
