About Our Sewer Line Services
Since 1992, homeowners, HOAs, and realtors have trusted us for sewer lateral assessments, spot repairs, and replacements, including point-of-sale compliance. We work with all pipe materials (cast iron, clay/terra cotta, ABS, polyethylene, Orangeburg, and more) and handle permits, inspections, and city standards from start to finish.
Common Causes & Signs You Need a Sewer Replacement
Bay Area sewer lines take a beating from age, ground movement, and tree roots.
Watch for:
- Frequent backups or multiple fixtures clogging at once
- Gurgling drains, sewer odors, or slow drainage
- Lush lawn patches, soft soil, or seepage along the line
- Prior “repeat” clogs that keep coming back
We start with a video camera inspection to pinpoint cracks, offsets, bellies, root intrusion, or hard scale, so there’s zero guesswork.
Repair vs. Replacement: Your Best Path
- Spot Repairs: Ideal for isolated cracks, offsets, or joint failures. We expose only the problem area and restore the line to code.
- Trenchless Replacement (Preferred): When larger sections are compromised, trenchless methods minimize digging and mess while delivering a brand-new, long-lasting line.
- Open-Trench Replacement: Used when lines are too shallow, severely bellied, or structurally unsalvageable. We manage traffic control, soil compaction, and surface restoration.

Fast workPosted on Morgan ByrneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Javier and Ricardo did an amazing job! Our hot water line to the washing machine wasn’t working and they worked quickly and efficiently to fix the problem even having to move a heavy washer/dryer from a small closet to access the lines. Ricardo even came back out the next day to check on when we noticed condensation from the machines and wanted to make sure there was no leak.Posted on Rebecca LazarusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ricardo was awesome. Prompt, professional and got our drain unclogged in no time. Now that I have his card I won’t call anyone else when I need plumbing help.Posted on Ricquel FordTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called Discount Plumbing for help with my toilet, and they sent Ricardo. Honestly, he was the best! Not only did he take care of the toilet, but he also looked at everything else just to make sure things were good. He showed up in a decent time, was 100% transparent with estimates and next steps,and has great music taste.Highly recommend Ricardo!Posted on Racquel CelestialTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ricardo was great!! Solve my clogged laundry drain. Thanks so much!Posted on CynthiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ricardo came to my home within hours of contacting him to fix a leaking toilet. He replaced the wax ring, discovered that the main supply line was cracked, and took care of that as well. He even used a camera to show me the condition of the pipes and recommended descaling since they’re cast iron from the 1960s. We went ahead with the descaling to help clear them out and prevent future issues and offered a two year warranty. He also reached out to a restoration service to come assess the water damage. I really appreciated his help, attentiveness, and the time he took to walk me through everything.Posted on Erin LiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
