Why California drains clog the way they do
Drain problems in California tend to follow the age of the house and the water that runs through it. Much of Southern California receives imported Colorado River and State Water Project supply, which is hard water. Calcium and magnesium scale builds up inside older cast iron and galvanized drain lines, and that rough lining catches grease, soap and hair far faster than a smooth pipe. In the Inland Empire and the Central Valley, hard groundwater adds to the same effect.
Housing stock matters just as much. Pre-war bungalows in Long Beach, Los Angeles and the Gateway Cities often still have cast iron branch drains and clay sewer laterals. The 1950s and 1960s tract neighborhoods of Norwalk, Lakewood and the San Fernando Valley were built quickly on concrete slabs, so their drains run under the floor where they are harder to reach. Newer homes in places like Fontana or Pittsburg usually have ABS plastic drains, which resist scale but still clog from wipes, grease and construction debris.
