Shared lines in multi-unit buildings

In Alhambra fourplexes and courtyard apartments, several units often share one line to the street. A backup on the ground floor can come from everyone upstairs.

We root from the building cleanout and work toward the street.

Kitchen and bath lines

Kitchen lines clog with grease and food; bath lines with hair and soap. Each gets a cable sized to the pipe.

Roots in older laterals

Older neighborhoods with big street trees see roots in clay sewer pipe. Rooting cuts them back.

After clearing, we flush and test every fixture that backed up.

Courtyard buildings

Courtyard apartments often have a single cleanout near the street. We locate it before the visit when possible.
