Damage You Cannot See Yet
A dripping sewer pipe inside the house usually goes undetected for some time before it shows through the sheetrock. By then you have a second problem: mold. Addressing it quickly keeps a plumbing repair from becoming a remediation job.
Trenchless Where It Makes Sense
Replacing a sewer line traditionally means opening a trench across the yard or driveway. Trenchless methods can replace the line with far less excavation. Not every line is a candidate, and we will tell you honestly which applies to yours.
Sewer Lateral Compliance
Several Peninsula cities require a sewer lateral inspection or certificate at point of sale. We handle lateral testing, repair and replacement, and can advise on what your city requires before you list a property.
Signs You Should Call Us
- Sewage backing up into tubs or floor drains
- Damp patches or sinkholes in the yard
- Persistent sewage odor outside
- Multiple drains backing up together
- Unusually lush grass along the sewer line
Common Questions
How do I know if it is my line or the city's?
Generally the lateral from your house to the main is your responsibility. A camera inspection shows where the problem sits, which settles the question.
Do you pull permits?
Yes. Sewer work requires permits and inspection, and all our work is done to California Building Code specifications.
