(562) 358-3092How do I find out what my drain pipe is made of?
Start with the age of the building and the look of the cleanout, the capped pipe at or near ground level outside. Clay, cast iron, ABS and PVC look and feel quite different. If that leaves it unclear, one camera run settles it and the answer stays true for as long as you own the property.
Who is responsible for the sewer line, me or the city?
Generally the property owner is responsible for the lateral from the building to its connection with the city main, and the city looks after the main in the street. If you are unsure where the line changes hands, the city can confirm it for your address.
Is drain cleaning necessary?
It depends on the property, not the city. On an early-1900s clay or cast-iron lateral under mature trees it can be the most useful money you spend, because roots and scale return. On a 1960s slab-tract line that has never blocked, a camera inspection is worth more than a cleaning, and on a newer line there may be nothing to remove.
How much does drain cleaning cost in Long Beach?
Typical Long Beach ranges are $170 to $350 for a single fixture, $350 to $600 for hydro jetting a residential line, $400 to $800 for a main sewer line and $175 to $450 for a camera inspection. Those are estimates to help you budget; the written quote comes after the job has been seen.
