The homeowner observed slow drainage and water pooling in the backyard during watering and rain. Inspection showed that the backyard storm drain was heavily clogged with tree roots, preventing water from reaching the street. The blockage led to ongoing overflow and posed a risk of property damage.
Our San Diego plumbing team used a hydrojetter equipped with a root-rat cutting head to clear the storm drain. This powerful equipment enabled us to cut through the dense root intrusion and flush the line clean from the backyard to the street.
After the jetting process, we excavated the area drain to locate and safely remove the jetter head. We then carried out the necessary repairs to the drain assembly, ensuring full functionality and long-term reliability. The result was a fully restored storm drain system with proper flow and no remaining root blockage.
