Frequent Sewer & Drain Concerns in Altadena

Years of local experience means we know Altadena's sewer & drain challenges.

Tree root intrusion in sewer lines

Learn more

Altadena's mature oak and sycamore trees aggressively seek moisture in sewer lines, particularly in established neighborhoods like Palm Street and the Triangle. Seasonal watering and clay pipe joints provide easy root entry points throughout older areas.

Main sewer line backup

Learn more

Heavy winter rains combined with root-damaged pipes create backups throughout Altadena's hillside drainage system. Areas near Eaton Canyon and lower elevations experience the most severe backup issues during storm events.

Cracked, broken, or collapsed drain pipe

Learn more

Original clay and cast iron sewer pipes in Altadena's pre-1960s neighborhoods are failing due to age and root damage. Hillside properties face additional stress from soil movement and settling, accelerating pipe deterioration.

Recurring drain clogs and slow drainage

Learn more

Root infiltration and mineral buildup from hard water create chronic drainage issues in Altadena homes. Properties with mature landscaping along Woodbury Road and Christmas Tree Lane experience frequent kitchen and bathroom drain problems.
