Why Burbank Homeowners and Businesses Call California Drain Experts
Burbank’s housing is mostly seventy to a hundred years old. Clay laterals from the 1920s through the 1950s are rooted, cracked and settled, and a camera pass shows exactly where.
The Rancho district is one of the few places near the city where people keep horses on residential lots. Barns, wash racks and long laterals need drains that stay clear, and we handle them along with the house line.
The hillside neighborhoods above Glenoaks have slopes, long runs and in some cases pumps. Runoff from the Verdugo Mountains tests yard and slope drains every winter.
Many Burbank homes have been remodeled or expanded, and ADUs are common. New bathrooms tied into old laterals add load, and the transition from new to old pipe is a frequent failure point.
Restaurants along Magnolia Boulevard, downtown and near the studios serve crowds all day. We jet grease lines and pump traps before opening.
Adding an ADU in Burbank? Have the existing lateral filmed before you connect to it.
