Pasadena Sewer & Drain Problems We Solve

Local conditions create unique sewer & drain challenges. Here's what we see in Pasadena.

Tree root intrusion in sewer lines

Learn more

Pasadena's mature street trees and lush landscaping create ongoing root intrusion problems in aging clay sewer lines. Neighborhoods with established trees like Altadena and Linda Vista experience frequent drain backups and blockages from aggressive root systems.

Main sewer line backup

Learn more

Aging clay sewer lines in Pasadena's historic neighborhoods, combined with root intrusion from mature trees, frequently cause main line backups. Heavy winter rains can overwhelm compromised lines, especially in areas with original 1920s-1940s sewer infrastructure.

Recurring drain clogs and slow drainage

Learn more

Pasadena's older homes often have undersized drain lines and aging clay pipes that catch debris easily. Tree roots, combined with grease buildup in kitchen drains, create persistent clogging issues throughout historic neighborhoods.

Cracked, broken, or collapsed drain pipe

Learn more

Original clay sewer lines in Pasadena's pre-war homes are failing due to age, ground settling in the foothill terrain, and root damage. Many properties near the Rose Bowl and in Old Pasadena need complete sewer line replacement.
