Why Redwood City Homeowners Call California Drain Experts
Older neighborhoods near downtown have side sewers from the early 1900s through the 1950s, with clay, cast iron, roots and repairs. Homeowners are generally responsible for the private line.
Redwood Shores sits on filled bay land beside lagoons. Settlement and a high water table affect lines there, and some areas depend on pump stations.
Emerald Hills is hilly and semi-rural, with steep runs, large lots and some properties on septic. We check the system first.
Postwar tracts in the middle of the city now have seventy year old side sewers with roots.
Downtown restaurants and the offices and biotech campuses in Redwood Shores need grease lines, restrooms and floor drains kept clear.
