Drain and Sewer Service in Lake Elsinore, CA

If a drain in your Lake Elsinore home is slow, gurgling or backing up, you have probably tried the plunger and maybe a bottle of drain cleaner. When the clog keeps coming back, it is usually further down the line than you can reach. We clear drains and sewer lines every day, and we can often be there the same day you call.

If water comes up in a tub or shower when you run the washer or flush a toilet, that points to the main line. Stop running water if you can and give us a call. A main line backup gets messier the longer water keeps going down.

Most calls start with one slow sink or shower. Hair, soap scum and grease build up on the pipe walls until water can barely get by. Lake Elsinore water averages about 9.5 grains per gallon of hardness, and that mineral film gives the gunk something to grab onto, so the same line tends to clog again.

The bigger warning signs are more than one drain acting up at once, a toilet that gurgles when a sink drains, a sewer smell in the house, or a soggy spot in the yard over the sewer line. Those usually mean the problem is in the main line. Roots, a low spot where the pipe has sagged, or a cracked section are the usual causes.

Store-bought drain cleaners can open a small hole in a clog, but the rest stays on the pipe wall, and the chemicals are hard on older pipes and septic tanks. A rented snake can do the same thing or get stuck. If you have cleared the same drain twice this year, it is time to have it looked at properly.

For a single slow or stopped line, Drain Cleaning with a professional drain machine is usually all it takes. We clear the clog, run water to check the flow, and tell you what caused it.

When a line keeps clogging with grease, scale or roots, Hydro Jetting uses high-pressure water to wash the inside of the pipe clean so it flows at full size again. Before we recommend digging or replacing anything, a Sewer Camera Inspection shows us the inside of the line on a screen. You see what we see: roots, a low spot where water sits, or a broken section.

If the camera shows damage, Sewer Line Repair & Replacement covers fixing one bad section or replacing the line out to the street. Smaller jobs have their own pages too. Clogged Shower Drain Clearing takes care of the standing water around your feet, Toilet Backup & Clog Removal handles the toilet that overflows or will not flush, and Restroom & Drain Odor Solutions tracks down a sewer smell that keeps hanging around. That smell is often a dry trap, a failed wax ring under a toilet, or a vent problem.

Older sewer lines are more likely to have roots and cracked sections, so the older streets around downtown Lake Elsinore see more of those. In newer homes, grease, wipes and hair cause most clogs.

Septic is part of the picture here too. Parts of Wildomar, Lakeland Village and Quail Valley are still on septic, and the water districts are moving neighborhoods like Sedco Hills and the Avenues onto sewer. If you are on septic and every drain backs up at once, the tank may be full, and that is a job for a septic pumper. Tell us you are on septic when you call and we will say up front whether it sounds like the tank or the line. If sewer is coming to your street, here is what the switch to sewer means for your house.

We work across Lake Elsinore, Wildomar, Canyon Lake, Menifee, Murrieta and Temecula. In Canyon Lake, add us in GoAccess and we will come through the East or North Gate.

You get a price before we start, and you approve it. If we open a cleanout and find something bigger than expected, we stop and show you before going further. We carry drain machines, a hydro jetter and a sewer camera, so we can clear the line and show you what caused the problem. Many drain calls get handled the same day, and we take emergency backups around the clock. We are licensed under CA License #1153282 and insured. Before we leave, we run water through every fixture we worked on so you can see it drain.
