Drain Cleaning in San Rafael, CA

San Rafael runs from its busy downtown out to the hillside neighborhoods, and the drain work changes a lot as you go. In Gerstle Park, some of the oldest houses in the city still carry corroded cast iron drain pipe that has narrowed and clogs easily. Terra Linda is a different animal, since those mid-century Eichlers, built between 1955 and 1966, route plumbing through a concrete slab, so a main line clog under one of these homes takes a careful camera inspection rather than guesswork. Up through Montecito and Dominican the mature trees drop roots into clay sewer laterals. We come over from Rohnert Park, and for a San Rafael drain that keeps clogging we camera the line first, then cable or hydro jet it. When several fixtures back up together, the problem is almost always the shared main, not one sink.

What that looks like on the job: In Terra Linda we camera main line clogs under Eichler slabs, where the plumbing runs through concrete and guessing the spot is not an option.
