Why Burlingame Homeowners Call California Drain Experts
Burlingame’s famous trees are its biggest drain problem. Eucalyptus, elm and sycamore roots find every joint in the old clay side sewers that serve most of the city’s homes.
Much of the housing is a century old, with clay and cast iron side sewers and decades of repairs. Homeowners are generally responsible for these lines, and Bay Area cities increasingly require inspections at sale or remodel.
Homes near the bay flats sit on low, filled ground with a high water table.
Many older homes have been expanded, with new bathrooms tied into old side sewers.
Restaurants along Burlingame Avenue and Broadway and the airport hotels need grease lines and restrooms kept clear.
Under a big Burlingame street tree? Have the side sewer filmed every few years. Roots there never really stop.
