Why Rancho Palos Verdes Homeowners Call California Drain Experts

Almost every Rancho Palos Verdes home sits on a slope. Laterals run long and steep to the street, and homes below the road often rely on ejector pumps to lift waste to the sewer. We ask about your lot before we arrive and check the pump before cabling anything.

Ground movement is a real concern on the peninsula. In and near the Portuguese Bend landslide complex, the land moves continuously, and elsewhere slow settlement and expansive clay can still shift laterals. Lines separate, bend out of grade or crack. A camera with a locator shows exactly where, which keeps repairs focused.

Some homes in the landslide area and on a few large lots still use septic systems rather than the public sewer. We clear the lines from the house to the tank and can refer pumping when needed.

Many homes date from the 1950s through the 1970s and have mature landscaping. Roots from pines, eucalyptus and ornamental trees reach into older laterals and cleanouts, especially on terraced lots.

Large homes with many bathrooms, long runs and complex drainage need careful work. We protect stone, tile and landscaping and leave the site as we found it.

Hear a pump alarm on your Rancho Palos Verdes property? Stop using water and call. Most pump calls are solved the same day.
