Why Lemon Grove Homeowners Call California Drain Experts
Most Lemon Grove homes are sixty to eighty years old, with clay laterals that root, crack and settle. A camera pass shows the problem spot before any repair.
Old citrus trees still grow in many yards, and their roots reach into laterals. Cutting and lining let the tree stay.
Many lots now have back units or ADUs tied into the original lateral. More fixtures on an old line mean more backups.
Lemon Grove is hilly in places, with sloped lots, longer laterals and decomposed granite soil that fills yard drains with grit.
Restaurants along Broadway and near the trolley stations need grease lines and traps kept clear. We work before opening.
