Why South El Monte Homes and Businesses Call California Drain Experts
South El Monte’s homes are mostly small postwar houses on small lots, many now with a back unit. Their clay laterals have roots and settled joints, and an extra unit on the line adds load the pipe was never built for.
The industrial side of the city runs on drains. Food processors, machine shops, auto shops and warehouses have floor drains, trench drains, sand and oil interceptors and busy restrooms. We jet them and keep dated records for inspections.
Food production and commercial kitchens generate grease and solids that need scheduled jetting and trap pumping, done around shifts.
The city sits near the Whittier Narrows and the rivers, on low ground where groundwater can be high. Cracked laterals let water in, and soil can settle under old pipe.
Restaurants along Santa Anita Avenue and Garvey Avenue serve workers and residents all day. We service their lines before opening.
