Drain Cleaning in North Hills

In homes of this age it is usually roots. Clay and cast iron sewer laterals develop small cracks, tree roots find the moisture, and the blockage returns a few months after every snaking. A camera inspection shows whether you need a repair or another clean out.

If it still has original galvanized supply pipe, usually yes. Galvanized rusts from the inside, so pressure drops and water discolours long before a leak appears. Repiping in copper or PEX solves it once. Patching single sections tends to move the problem along the run.

Yes. North Hills is a regular part of our service area, though it is a longer run than our Santa Clarita work. Permits there go through the City of Los Angeles rather than Santa Clarita, and we handle that filing as part of the job.

Grease, almost every time. It pours down warm as a liquid, then cools and sets on the inside of the pipe. Each pour adds another layer until the line closes off. Running hot water afterwards helps a little, but it does not prevent it.

For the right blockage, yes. A cable bores a hole through the obstruction, which restores flow but leaves the buildup on the pipe wall. High pressure water scours that wall clean, so the drain stays clear longer. It costs more and is not needed every time.
