California Drain Experts sees the most main line calls in the Original Village and Southwest San Clemente, Shorecliffs and the Coastal Hills and Rancho San Clemente, Forster Ranch and Talega. In the Original Village and Southwest San Clemente, we mostly work on 1920s through 1950s homes with old clay, cast iron and mature trees. In Shorecliffs and the Coastal Hills, we mostly work on hillside homes where ground movement and long laterals are common.

Fall brings dry winds that blow leaves into courtyard and yard drains, and thirsty roots push into old clay joints. Summer visitors pack downtown restaurants and vacation rentals. Spring growth sends roots deeper into village laterals. Winter rain saturates hillsides and exposes shifted or cracked lines. Tip from our San Clemente technicians: schedule root cutting in October.

In San Clemente the property owner is responsible for the private sewer lateral that runs from the house to the public main, and the public agency maintains the main in the street. Roots, sags and breaks in that lateral are the owner’s to fix, so California Drain Experts films it and shows you where the problem sits. On San Clemente private lines, the problem we film most often is the one covered above: Old Clay in the Original Village.
