Area Drains in the South Bay
A patio that sheets toward the house? Request an area-drain estimate with photos after rain if you have them.
Schulze Plumbing Inc. provides Area Drains in the South Bay / Los Angeles County area. See cities we serve or call 310-487-2975.
Area drains sit at low points in paving or planting and connect to underground storm piping. They silt up if they have no sump or if the outlet is crushed.
We are plumbers, not landscape graders. If the whole yard slopes to the house, piping helps only after the low point is honest.
Common symptoms
- Puddles against a sliding door
- A drain that sits high in the concrete
- Muddy water at a neighbor’s property because there is no collection
What this service involves
- Placing drains at true low points
- Connecting to storm piping or an approved discharge
- Setting grates that can be maintained

FAQ
- Can it go to the sewer?
- No as a convenience. Storm water has its own path.
- Pop-up emitter in the parkway?
- Sometimes. City rules on parkway discharge vary. We do not assume.
- One drain or a system?
- One drain in the wrong place does nothing. Photos after a rain are worth more than a guess.
