Got a Plumbing Problem? We're Just a Call Away!
From Backups to Full Replacements
Your sewer and septic system carries waste safely away from your home — until roots, age, or a clog get in the way. We handle the whole range: clearing backups, camera-inspecting the line, repairing breaks, replacing failed sewer lines (including trenchless), and servicing septic systems.
Because we start with a camera inspection, you get an honest diagnosis and the right fix — whether that’s a simple clearing, a spot repair, or a full replacement. No mystery, no unnecessary digging.
Sewer & Septic Problems We Solve
Sewer Line Backups
Multiple drains backing up at once usually means a main line clog. We locate and clear it fast.
Root Intrusion & Breaks
Roots and cracked pipe cause repeat failures. We camera the line and repair or replace the damaged section.
Sewer Line Replacement
For collapsed or deteriorated lines, we replace them — including trenchless to spare your yard.
Septic System Service
Backups, slow drains, and odors from a septic system get diagnosed and serviced properly.

Sewer & Septic Services — Questions & Answers
How do I know if it's a main sewer line problem?
If multiple drains back up at the same time, toilets gurgle, or sewage comes up in a tub or floor drain, the main sewer line is usually the culprit. We camera the line to confirm.
Do you offer trenchless sewer replacement?
Yes, where the line allows. Trenchless methods replace the pipe with minimal excavation, sparing your landscaping, driveway, and walkways.
What causes sewer lines to fail?
Tree root intrusion, aging clay or cast-iron pipe, ground movement, and corrosion are the most common causes. A camera inspection pinpoints which one you’re dealing with.
Can you service my septic system?
Yes. We diagnose and service septic systems, addressing backups, slow drains, and odors, and advise you on the right next step.
Is a sewage backup an emergency?
Yes — it’s a health hazard. We’re open 24/7, so call (510) 966-7398 the moment you see sewage backing up.
