Sound familiar?
In the foothills, drain problems usually show up in one of these ways:
Water backing up in the tub or shower when you flush
Several drains slow at once, or gurgling toilets
Sewage smell from a floor drain or cleanout
White, crusty buildup around shower and tub drains that keeps them slow
One slow sink is a drain clog. Several fixtures at once usually means the main line. Call, and we’ll tell you which.
La Crescenta drains: hard water, hillside lots and newer sewer laterals
La Crescenta’s water and sewer come from the Crescenta Valley Water District, which reports its water hardness at roughly 250 to 300 parts per million, about 18 grains per gallon. That’s very hard water. Mineral scale combines with soap and hair in tub and shower drains, which is why so many La Crescenta bathroom drains go slow instead of clogging all at once.
Here’s a local detail most plumbers miss: much of the valley wasn’t on sewers until fairly recently. The District built 64 miles of mainline sewer and 27 miles of house-connection laterals in a program finished in the mid-1980s, replacing septic tanks. So many La Crescenta homes built in the 1940s and ’50s have indoor plumbing that is decades older than their sewer lateral. When a main line backs up here, the problem is often where the old house drain meets the newer lateral.
At about 1,540 feet, with homes stepping up the slopes toward the San Gabriels, many lots have long runs and steep grades. Hydro jetting clears those lines more completely than a cable.
How we clear drains in La Crescenta
Cable (snake) clearing
The right tool for most sink, tub, toilet, and floor-drain clogs. Fast and priced on the spot.
Camera inspection
When a line keeps clogging, we put a camera down it and show you why, before anyone talks about repairs.
Who owns the sewer line in La Crescenta?
The Crescenta Valley Water District maintains the sewer mains. Homeowners maintain their own lateral, from the main in the street to the house. If your main line backs up, call us first. If the camera shows the problem is in the District’s main, we’ll tell you, and you can call them.
