The Mission District is one of San Francisco’s most vibrant neighborhoods—and also one with unique plumbing challenges. From Victorian-era homes to modern condos, here’s what Mission District homeowners need to know about drain cleaning.
Common Drain Issues in the Mission
The Mission District has a mix of old and new construction, each with different plumbing concerns:
- Older Victorians – Many have original clay or cast iron pipes that are 80-100+ years old
- Tree root intrusion – The neighborhood’s mature street trees often invade sewer lines
- Shared sewer laterals – Some properties share sewer connections, complicating repairs
- Grease buildup – The Mission’s many restaurants can affect neighborhood sewer lines
Signs You Need Drain Cleaning

- Water backing up when you run the washing machine
- Foul odors from drains
- Multiple fixtures draining slowly at once
