Drain Cleaning Costa Mesa, California | Eastside, Westside and Mesa Verde

Costa Mesa’s sewer mains are maintained by the Costa Mesa Sanitary District, but the lateral from your house to that main is generally yours to maintain. In the Eastside and Mesa Verde, those laterals are often original clay or cast iron, sixty to seventy years old, with roots from the shade trees that make those neighborhoods so pleasant. We camera them, cut the roots and tell you honestly whether a line can be maintained or needs a liner.

Costa Mesa also has one of the busiest restaurant and retail scenes in Orange County, from South Coast Plaza and The Camp to 17th Street and Harbor Boulevard. Those kitchens need grease lines jetted and grease traps pumped on a schedule, and we work after hours to keep them open.

Remodeling is everywhere in Costa Mesa. Eastside ranch homes have been opened up, given second stories and fitted with new bathrooms, often while the original lateral out to the street stayed exactly as it was in 1955. A new primary suite with a large shower and a modern kitchen can send far more water down an old line than it ever carried, and the weak joints that held up for decades start to show. If you are planning a remodel, a camera inspection first tells you whether the lateral should be part of the project.

The Westside is changing fast too. Older homes and light industrial buildings sit next to new townhomes and live-work units, and new construction often ties into old mains and laterals. In the new buildings, construction debris and grout in the lines are common in the first few years. In the older shops and warehouses, floor drains and trench drains collect grit and oil. We handle both, and we schedule commercial work so it does not interrupt the business day.

Costa Mesa’s restaurant scene is one of the busiest in the county, from South Coast Plaza and the shopping centers on Bristol Street to the independent spots on 17th Street and Harbor Boulevard. Kitchens like these fill grease traps quickly, and a missed pumping can close a restaurant during service. We pump traps, jet the lines behind them and keep dated records for inspections.
