About 65,000 people live here.

Why South San Francisco Homeowners and Businesses Call California Drain Experts
Downtown homes near Grand Avenue are close to a century old, with clay and cast iron laterals that root, crack and settle. A camera pass shows each problem.
The postwar neighborhoods on the western hills, including Westborough and Sunshine Gardens, have sixty to seventy year old laterals on sloped lots, where sags and separated joints are common.
South San Francisco is famously windy. Strong afternoon winds blow debris into yard and garage drains, and those need regular clearing.
East of the 101, office and lab buildings have large restroom groups, break rooms and floor drains. We work during off hours and keep dated records for facility managers.
Restaurants along Grand Avenue and in the shopping centers need grease lines and traps kept clear. We service them before opening.
Manage a building east of the 101? We schedule restroom and floor drain service overnight or on weekends.
