What We Do
From Small Repairs to Complete Sewer Replacement
Most sewer problems are hidden underground, which is exactly why guessing gets expensive. We run a camera through the line to locate the issue, show you what’s going on, and explain whether the right fix is a cleaning, a spot repair, or a full sewer replacement.
- Camera inspections to locate roots, breaks, and blockages
- Spot repairs, trenchless replacements, and relining options based on what the line actually needs
- Pre-purchase sewer lateral inspections for Central Coast homebuyers
Camera Before Shovel
We confirm the problem on camera before recommending any excavation, so you’re not paying to dig up a line that doesn’t need it.
Trenchless When Possible
We use trenchless methods where the line allows, protecting driveways, lawns, and mature landscaping.
From Backed-Up to Back to Normal
Every sewer job starts with finding the real problem. From your first call to the final repair, we walk you through the next steps so you can move forward with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
The sewer line questions Central Coast homeowners and home buyers ask us most often.
Whole-house slow drains, gurgling toilets, repeated backups, or sewage odors outside can all point to a sewer line problem rather than a single clogged fixture. A camera inspection helps confirm whether the issue is a blockage, root intrusion, or a broken line so you can move forward with the right repair.
Trenchless sewer repair or replacement lets us repair the line with far less digging than a traditional excavation. Instead of trenching across the whole yard, we use access points to repair, reline, or replace the damaged section when the line qualifies. It can be a great option for homes with driveways, landscaping, or hardscape you want to protect.
Yes—especially if the home is older or has a clay or cast iron sewer line. A pre-purchase sewer camera inspection shows the condition of the line before closing, so you are not surprised by a major repair after you move in. It is one of the smartest inspections a buyer can add because it can uncover hidden sewer problems that do not show up during a standard home inspection.
- Epoxy Coating: 10–25 years
- Pipe Lining (CIPP): 50+ years
- Pipe Bursting / Full Replacement: 50–100+ years
Every sewer line is different. A camera inspection allows us to evaluate the pipe’s condition and recommend the repair method that provides the best long-term value and reliability.
The most common causes of sewer line failure are root intrusion, shifting soil, aging cast iron or clay pipe, and years of grease or debris buildup. On the Central Coast, older homes often have original sewer laterals that are more vulnerable to breaks, corrosion, or recurring blockages. A camera inspection shows exactly what is happening so the repair addresses the real cause.
