Drain and Sewer Contractor in Southern California

A backed-up line is a symptom, not the whole problem

A drain that keeps clogging, a toilet that gurgles when the washing machine drains, or water surfacing in the yard is rarely a one-time snake job. The cause is usually further down the line: a grease and soap buildup coating the pipe, roots that have worked into a joint, a bellied section that holds water, or an aging clay or cast-iron sewer that has started to fail. Clearing the clog without finding the cause means the same call again in a few months.

Southern California adds its own pressure. Mature trees across older Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino neighborhoods send roots toward the moisture inside sewer lines, and decades of clay pipe are reaching the end of their service life. On the new-construction side, a graded lot that drains toward the slab or pools at the low corner is a drainage problem that belongs in the backyard build, not a plumbing emergency you discover after the first heavy rain.

We diagnose first, then give you the options

Five Stars Builders starts with a camera inspection so you can see the actual condition of the line before committing to any work. From there we clear what can be cleared, hydro jet lines that are coated or root-filled, and lay out repair or replacement options, including trenchless methods that avoid tearing up a finished driveway or yard where the pipe allows it. For backyard drainage, we tie yard and area drains into the landscape and hardscape scope so surface water is handled as part of the build, not patched afterward.
