Why Sacramento Homeowners and Businesses Call California Drain Experts

Sacramento’s famous trees are its biggest drain problem. Elms, sycamores, London planes and oaks line the central neighborhoods, and their roots find every joint in century-old clay laterals.

Midtown and the central city have some of the oldest homes in the state, with clay and cast iron laterals and many repairs. Parts of the older core are served by a combined sewer system that carries storm water too.

Heavy clay soil shrinks in the hot, dry summers and swells in the wet winters, which can crack and shift older pipe.

Natomas and other newer neighborhoods sit on low basin land with a high water table and newer pipe that can settle.

Midtown’s restaurant and bar scene, plus the downtown and state office buildings, need grease lines, restrooms and floor drains kept clear.

Live under a big Sacramento street tree? Root cutting every year or two, or lining, is the realistic plan for most central city laterals.

How Seasons Affect Drain Cleaning in Sacramento, California

Sacramento’s drains follow the canopy, the summer heat and the winter rain.

🍂 Fall

Fall in Sacramento brings heavy leaf drop from the city’s canopy into every gutter and grate.

Tip: Clear Sacramento yard drains after the leaves come down in November.

☀️ Summer

Summer in Sacramento brings triple-digit heat that dries clay soil and draws roots toward laterals.

Tip: Late summer is when Sacramento laterals under big trees start to slow.

🌱 Spring

Spring in Sacramento brings the fastest root growth after the winter rain.

Tip: An East Sacramento lateral that rooted before deserves a spring scope.

❄️ Winter

Winter in Sacramento brings tule fog, heavy rain and saturated clay soil.

Tip: A Land Park toilet that gurgles every time the American River rises is worth a camera pass.

In Sacramento the property owner is responsible for the private sewer lateral that runs from the house to the public main, and the public agency maintains the main in the street. Roots, sags and breaks in that lateral are the owner’s to fix, so California Drain Experts films it and shows you where the problem sits. On Sacramento private lines, the problem we film most often is the one covered above: Canopy Tree Roots.
