Drain Cleaning Malibu, California | The Beach Colonies, Point Dume, the Canyons and the Civic Center

Malibu stretches 21 miles along the coast below the Santa Monica Mountains and incorporated in 1991. Its homes range from beach houses on the sand along Pacific Coast Highway and in the Malibu Colony to the bluff-top homes of Point Dume and the hillside and canyon properties in Malibu Park, Big Rock and the canyons. About 10,000 people live here, and the 2018 Woolsey Fire burned hundreds of homes, many since rebuilt.

Why Malibu Homeowners Call California Drain Experts

Most of Malibu has never had a citywide sewer system, so the majority of homes rely on onsite septic or advanced wastewater systems. Lines from the house to the tank clog with roots and solids, and a full tank looks exactly like a clogged drain. We check the system first and clear lines to the tank.

Beach houses along Pacific Coast Highway often sit below the road, with pumps, salt air and sand. We check the pump before clearing anything.

Canyon and hillside homes have long, steep lines, slopes and burned hillsides that send debris downhill in storms.

Many homes were rebuilt after the Woolsey Fire, with new plumbing tied into existing tanks and lines.

Restaurants and businesses at the Civic Center and along the coast need grease lines and traps kept clear.

On a Malibu septic system? Tell us when the tank was last pumped and where the access lid is.

Homes in Malibu on septic own the whole system, from the house drain to the tank and leach field, so every repair and pumping falls to the owner. Where a street has public sewer, the owner looks after the private lateral up to the main. California Drain Experts films the line so you know which part is yours. On Malibu private lines, the problem we film most often is the one covered above: Onsite Septic Systems.
