How fast can you get here?

Often the same day. We're five minutes away, so a small job can sometimes fit between two others. Call and Dan will give you a time.

Who pulls the permit?

We do, through the City of Westlake Village, for water heaters, gas lines, repipes and remodels. The work gets inspected, and the paperwork stays with the house.

Should I try a chemical drain cleaner first?

No. It sits on the clog until someone opens the trap and gets it on their hands, and it eats older pipe. Try hot water and a plunger, then call.

Why does my main line keep backing up?

Clearing removes the clog and leaves the cause, like roots, a low spot or a crack that catches paper. A camera shows which.

Do you have to go through my toilet?

Not if there's a cleanout. We run the cable from there, and if you don't have one, we can add one.

Around here

In Westlake Village

Clearing a drain in Westlake Village means working in original cast iron or early ABS, with a sewer lateral about fifty years old. Kitchen lines here are mostly grease. A main that backs up more than once a year usually has roots at a joint or a settled section. We clear it from the cleanout and camera it before anyone talks about digging.

Neighborhoods: First Neighborhood, Westlake Island, North Ranch, Three Springs, Southshore, the streets off Lindero Canyon.

The job

How it goes

We use a cable machine: a small one for sinks, tubs and showers, and a drum machine with a cutting head for the main. If there's a cleanout we run from there, so nothing goes through your toilet or across your floor.

Grease clogs kitchen lines and hair clogs tubs. Once it's clear we run water and watch it, since a half-cleared drain is back in a month.

Main lines are different. Roots get into old clay joints, cast iron scales up, and sagging sections hold water. If your main has backed up more than once in a year, we'll put a camera down it and show you what's there.

A sewer cleanout where there was none

The building's drain line had no cleanout, so every clearing went through a fixture. We trenched about ten feet down with shoring, cut in a combination fitting and brought a new cleanout up to grade.
