Why Los Alamitos and Rossmoor Homeowners Call California Drain Experts
Most homes in Los Alamitos and Rossmoor date from the 1950s and early 1960s. Their original laterals are now more than sixty years old, and the clay joints have had decades to loosen. When a line clears and slows again within months, the camera usually shows an open joint, a crack or a sag rather than a one-time clog.
Rossmoor’s large shade trees are part of its character, and their roots are the main cause of sewer backups in the neighborhood. Roots reach laterals under front lawns and near the street connection. We cut them, film the joint and tell you whether yearly cutting or lining will serve you better.
Older homes here also have cast iron drains under the slab that have scaled from hard water and rusted along the bottom. Descaling clears them, and a camera shows whether the bottom of the pipe is still solid.
The Los Alamitos Medical Center and the clinics and offices around it on Katella Avenue run restrooms and break rooms all day. We work around patient hours and leave dated service records for office managers.
Restaurants and shops along Los Alamitos Boulevard and in the shopping centers near the base keep kitchens busy. Grease line jetting and trap service are booked before opening or after closing.
Rossmoor is unincorporated, but its homes share the 90720 ZIP with Los Alamitos, and we treat both as one service area.
