What Is This Service / Fixture For? Why Is It Important?

re-drain is the replacement of all or part of your existing drainage piping — which carries wastewater away from your sinks, toilets, showers, and appliances toward the main sewer or septic line.

Why it matters:

Old or damaged drains can cause repeated clogs, slow drains, leaks behind walls or under floors, and sewage smells

Many older homes in the Bay Area still have galvanized steel or cast iron pipes, which corrode over time and lead to leaks or collapse

Modern ABS/PVC materials offer smooth, long-lasting flow, better chemical resistance, and reduced chances of backup or blockage

A re-drain isn’t just a fix — it’s an upgrade to the health of your home’s plumbing system.

YOUR OPTIONS

Repair or Replace?

Depending on the condition of your existing system and scope of the issue, your technician may recommend:

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a “re-drain” and when do I need one?

A re-drain is the replacement of old or damaged drain lines — usually in kitchens, bathrooms, or laundry areas. You might need one if you’re experiencing frequent clogs, slow drains, foul odors, or water damage due to corroded or poorly sloped pipes.

Drain cleaning clears out blockages; a re-drain replaces the piping altogether. If your pipes are cracked, collapsed, or made of outdated materials like galvanized steel or cast iron, cleaning won’t fix the root issue — a re-drain offers a long-term solution.

We typically install ABS or PVC piping, which are code-compliant, corrosion-resistant, and offer smooth flow. These modern materials improve drainage, resist buildup, and reduce the risk of future backups or leaks.

  • Single fixture: 2–4 hours
  • Kitchen or bathroom group: 1–2 days
  • Whole-home or underground re-drain: 2–5 days
    We provide clear timelines upfront based on your home’s layout and access points.

Sometimes, yes — especially in remodels or when accessing pipes behind walls or under flooring. We minimize damage using precise cuts and always clean up afterward. We’ll also guide you on what cosmetic repairs may be needed.

Absolutely. A re-drain solves recurring drainage issues and protects your home from leaks, odors, and structural damage. It also adds value, especially during remodels or if your home has aging plumbing.
