Drain Cleaning Daly City, California | Westlake, Serramonte, Top of the Hill and the Coastal Bluffs
Daly City grew just south of San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake, when refugees settled on John Daly’s dairy land, and it incorporated in 1911. The older Top of the Hill area holds homes from the early 1900s, while Westlake, built by Henry Doelger from the late 1940s, became one of the best known postwar tract developments in the country. Serramonte followed in the 1960s. About 105,000 people live here, with fog rolling in off the ocean bluffs most summer afternoons.
California Drain Experts serves all of Daly City (94014, 94015), from Top of the Hill and Mission Street to Westlake, Serramonte and the neighborhoods above the coastal bluffs. We find the cause first and answer 24/7.

Why Daly City Homeowners Call California Drain Experts
Westlake and Serramonte homes are sixty to seventy five years old, with clay and cast iron laterals that crack, root and settle. Because these tracts were built so quickly and uniformly, neighbors often see the same problems in the same years.
Much of Daly City sits on sandy soil that once formed coastal dunes. Sand settles under pipe over time, leaving low spots that catch waste.
The coastal bluffs on the west side have a long history of erosion and slides, and ground movement there can shift laterals.
Older homes near Top of the Hill and Mission Street date from the early 1900s, with very old pipe and many repairs.
Restaurants along Mission Street, Westlake Shopping Center and Serramonte Center need grease lines and traps kept clear. We work before opening.
Living in Westlake? Many neighbors’ laterals are the same age as yours. If theirs failed, a camera check on yours is worth it.
