California Drain Experts sees the most main line calls in the Sunset and the Richmond, the Mission, Noe Valley and Bernal Heights and the Excelsior and Bayview. In the Sunset and the Richmond, we mostly work on 1920s to 1950s homes built on former sand dunes. In the Mission, Noe Valley and Bernal Heights, we mostly work on victorians, Edwardians and flats with house traps and shared lines.

Fall in San Francisco brings the warmest days of the year and leaf drop from street trees into light wells and garage drains. Summer in San Francisco means fog in the Sunset and Richmond and full restaurants across the city. Spring in San Francisco brings new root growth from the street trees along older side sewers. Winter storms in San Francisco fill the combined sewer system and test garage and light well drains. Tip from our San Francisco technicians: clear San Francisco light well and garage drains in October.

In San Francisco 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 Francisco private lines, the problem we film most often is the one covered above: Old Side Sewers.
