Why this comes up in San Diego

Older San Diego neighborhoods like North Park, Kensington, University Heights, and Golden Hill are full of clay and cast-iron laterals with mature trees on top of them. Newer builds in Del Sur, Otay Ranch, and 4S Ranch tend to have fixture-branch clogs instead. Either way, we camera the line so you see exactly what caused it.

FAQ

Common questions

Why is my kitchen drain always slow?+

Grease and soap scale coat the inside of the pipe. Hydro-jetting removes it. Cabling just pokes through.

Can I use a store-bought drain cleaner?+

We do not recommend it. Caustic cleaners damage older pipes and rarely fix the underlying issue.

How long does the fix last?+

A properly cabled or jetted kitchen line typically stays clear for 12 to 24 months when maintained.

Why do older San Diego neighborhoods have so many root problems?+

Neighborhoods like North Park, Kensington, South Park, and University Heights are full of clay laterals from the 1920s to 1950s. Mature ficus, magnolia, and pepper trees find every joint. Jetting plus root treatment is the long-term fix, not repeat snaking.

Do you pull permits for sewer work?+

Yes. Every sewer replacement inside City of San Diego, La Mesa, Chula Vista, El Cajon, Coronado, or unincorporated county is permitted and inspected before backfill.
