What Shapes Drain Work in San Bernardino
A big, old city brings its own set of drain problems.
- The county seat: San Bernardino is the seat of San Bernardino County and its largest city, with about 222,101 people in the 2020 census.
- Deep roots: Neighborhoods near downtown and around Perris Hill Park include homes from the early 1900s, with laterals that have been in the ground for generations.
- Historic corridors: Mount Vernon Avenue on the West Side is one of the city's long standing neighborhoods, lined with older homes and small businesses.
- Landmarks we pass: The Santa Fe Depot, the California Theatre and Seccombe Lake are all part of the routes we drive.
- A renter heavy city: Less than half of occupied homes are owner occupied, so landlords call us often.
Older and Newer Homes in San Bernardino
Pipe type depends a lot on the age of the home.
Early 1900s Homes
Older homes near downtown often have clay laterals and cast iron inside. Roots get into the clay joints, and the cast iron scales up over time.
Mid Century Tracts
Neighborhoods built from the 1940s through the 1960s often have cast iron drains and clay or cast iron laterals. Plenty still have the original pipe.
Newer Homes
Newer homes use PVC or ABS. These lines hold up well, but grease and hair still cause clogs.
Shared Lines in Rentals
Duplexes and older apartment buildings often share one building sewer, so a single clog can hit several units.
- Ground floor units usually see sewage first.
- A camera run shows whether the shared line needs cleaning or repair.
