Sound familiar?
Encino’s big trees and older lines make these the calls we get most:
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
A main line that clogs again a few months after it was “cleared”
One slow sink is a drain clog. Several fixtures at once usually means the main line. Call and we’ll tell you which.
Encino: the oaks are the name, and the roots are the problem
Encino took its name from the valley oaks and coast live oaks that covered the area, and big trees still define the neighborhood. The City’s historic survey describes Encino as mostly post-World War II single-family neighborhoods, flat north of Ventura Boulevard and climbing into the Santa Monica Mountains to the south.
Mature trees and 60- to 70-year-old sewer laterals are a combination we see constantly. Roots find the joints in older pipe, grow inside, and catch everything that goes down the drain. A cable cuts a path through them. Hydro jetting clears the pipe wall to wall, so the line stays open longer. If roots keep coming back, the camera tells us whether the pipe itself is damaged.
Along Ventura Boulevard, the dominant commercial street in the South Valley, restaurant grease is the other big one. We jet commercial kitchen lines, too.
How we clear drains in Encino
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 fixes the line from your house to the street in Encino?
Encino is part of the City of Los Angeles. The City maintains the sewer main in the street, but the lateral that connects your house to it is private. LA Sanitation says the property owner is responsible for the whole lateral, from the building to the street connection, and the City’s Bureau of Engineering adds that roots blocking a lateral are the owner’s problem, even under the sidewalk.
That’s why a main-line clog in Encino is your call to make, not the City’s. We clear it, show you on camera what caused it, and tell you honestly whether it needs anything more.
