CLOGGED SEWER LINES in Buena Park Homes
Sewers have one very important function: collecting and transporting waste and water from your property and dumping it into the city lateral for processing.
When your sewer is clogged, everything stops draining sinks, showers, laundry, and worst of all, no TOILETS!!!
Most homes in southern California were built between the 1940s and 1970s. The original sewers for these properties are long past their expected service life of 50 years. California-exclusive conditions such as earthquakes, soil shifting / settling, and erosion will accelerate the decline of your home’s sewer and shorten its functional life span. Materials used today are vastly superior to your original sewer’s composition materials.
- Improper fittings during installation
- Soil & pipe shifting, earthquakes, soil settling, erosion
- Loss of Grade or Flat Spots
- Separations, Misaligned and offset pipes
- Bellies and sags develop in the pipes
- Broken, Deteriorated, Cracked, or Collapsed Sewer pipes
- Root intrusions, root growth, sewer lifted or pushed by tree
- Sometimes, a combination of a few of these

Sewer Line Cleanouts
A ground-level sewer cleanout is a necessary component of a home’s plumbing system, providing an access point to the sewer line and allowing our plumbing technicians to maintain and repair your sewer system. Without a cleanout, blockages, and bigger issues within the sewer line can be difficult to address, potentially leading to costly and disruptive work.
Ground-level sewer line cleanout benefits for Buena Park homeowners:
- SAFETY – Keeps plumbers and equipment off your roof.
- Avoids damage to the roof and vent pipes.
- Sewer Cables with large wads of roots can become stuck on turns going from large diameter pipes to smaller vent pipes which will require more aggressive work to correct at the homeowner’s expense.
- Running a sewer cable down a roof vent is a good way to crack a vent, requiring walls to be opened to repair the vent.
- Ground-level cleanout provides a thorough cleaning
- Sewer cameras and specialized equipment can gain access via your ground-level sewer line cleanout
- Keeps sewage and equipment on the exterior of houses
- Less expensive to service the sewer
Homes in Buena Park, Fullerton, Lakewood, Los Alamitos, Long Beach and the surrounding cities were originally built without this critical piece of plumbing. Have no fear, if your home has not yet been upgraded with a ground level sewer cleanout, the experts at DB Plumbing have you covered.
