Drain Cleaning in Santa Cruz

Roots. The most common main line failure we see here. Redwood, oak, and Monterey pine roots find hairline gaps in older clay laterals and widen them over years.

Grease. Kitchen lines in homes, and heavier accumulation in restaurant and multi-unit buildings, where it cools and hardens against the pipe wall.

Sand and silt. Closer to the coast, fine sediment works into lines and settles in low spots.

Scale in cast iron. Older homes still have cast iron waste lines. Interior corrosion narrows the pipe until flow drops off.

If a drain has cleared and clogged again within a year, the underlying cause was never addressed. We would rather camera the line and tell you that than sell you the same cabling twice. For lines that clog repeatedly, hydro jetting scours the pipe wall rather than punching through the blockage.
