Corona Del Mar Drain Services

Over 50 Years of Coastal Experience, Backed by Class A & Class C Licenses

From classic mid-century ranch homes and historic cottages to custom multi-level coastal estates, Corona Del Mar properties face distinct drainage challenges. Salt air, shifting coastal soils, and aggressive tree roots frequently compromise aging clay and cast iron sewer laterals. Holding dual California Class C (Plumbing) and Class A (General Engineering) licenses, our team brings specialized local expertise to resolve everything from routine household drain clogs to complex underground line repairs across Corona Del Mar.

We at McKeown Plumbing clean, repair, and replace kitchen, bathroom, toilet, shower, tub, and floor drains for both local homeowners and business owners along PCH. When a clogged drain signals a deeper main line issue, we inspect the connected sewer lateral and recommend honest, lasting solutions based on its actual condition.

Our Drain Cleaning & Sewer Line Services

Our technicians aren’t paid on commission. We investigate the problem, explain our findings, and recommend service based on the plumbing system rather than a sales incentive. A sewer video camera inspection can locate a blockage, damaged section, or root intrusion before we discuss repair or replacement options.

We address problems throughout the drainage system:

• Kitchen drains. Clearing grease, food residue, mineral scale, and recurring blockages.
• Bathroom drains. Resolving slow-draining sinks and clogged shower or tub lines.
• Toilet drains. Clearing persistent clogs, gurgling noises, and backups.
• Floor drains. Eliminating standing water, foul odors, and restricted flow.
• Sewer lines. Addressing tree root intrusion, pipe breaks, deterioration, and recurring main line backups.

Whenever practical, we prioritize repair over replacement. We’ll even take the extra time to locate hard-to-find parts for older fixtures when doing so prevents the cost and disruption of replacing an entire unit.

Hydro Jetting & Trenchless Sewer Repair

While standard drain snaking clears isolated clogs, high-pressure hydro jetting scours the interior surfaces of pipes affected by heavy grease, mineral scale, and organic buildup to restore full flow.

When lines suffer structural damage, we utilize CIPP (Cured-In-Place-Pipe) trenchless lining. CIPP creates a durable, seamless new pipe inside the existing pipeline, repairing cracked or broken sections without excavating your landscaping or hardscaping.

Diagnostic Camera Inspection First

Properties across Corona Del Mar span different construction eras, with older coastal homes often featuring aging clay or cast iron laterals vulnerable to root entry and corrosion. Before recommending any major work, we guide a specialized video camera through the line to examine its interior.

Because not every pipe is a candidate for trenchless lining, camera findings are essential. They allow us to accurately compare trenchless lining, targeted spot repairs, or full replacements, so we recommend the safest, most cost-effective solution in line with our core philosophy: “Clean. Safe. Efficient.”
