Our 4.7-star Google rating reflects what matters most: showing up when promised, diagnosing problems accurately, and completing repairs that last. We charge exactly what we quote upfront, period.

Our comprehensive sewer services include everything from routine maintenance to emergency repairs. We handle sewer cleaning, camera inspections, spot repairs, trenchless rehabilitation, and complete sewer line replacement.
Fair Oaks presents unique challenges we’ve mastered over two decades. The area’s established trees create extensive root networks that naturally seek moisture in sewer pipes. Many homes from the 1960s and 70s have original clay or cast iron pipes that become increasingly fragile with age.
We’re equipped for both emergency situations and planned maintenance. Our service trucks carry specialized tools for most common repairs, enabling same-day completion in many cases. Whether you’re facing a sudden sewage backup or planning preventive maintenance, we deliver the right solution for Fair Oaks homeowners.
Multiple drains backing up at the same time is the clearest sign of main sewer line problems. You might also notice toilets or drains making gurgling sounds, sewage odors around your property, or patches of unusually green grass where your sewer line runs underground.
A professional camera inspection provides definitive answers without guesswork. We insert a waterproof camera through your sewer cleanout to examine the actual pipe condition. You’ll see root intrusion, cracks, or collapsed sections on our monitor in real-time.
This inspection typically takes 60-90 minutes and costs far less than making wrong assumptions about what’s needed. Many Fair Oaks homeowners discover their problem requires targeted spot repairs rather than complete sewer replacement, saving thousands of dollars.
Traditional sewer repair requires digging trenches to access your pipes, which can damage driveways, landscaping, walkways, and sprinkler systems. Trenchless methods allow us to repair or replace sewer lines through small access points, preserving your property’s appearance and value.
Trenchless pipe lining involves inserting a resin-saturated liner inside your existing pipe, then inflating and curing it to create a new pipe within the old one. Pipe bursting simultaneously breaks apart the old pipe while pulling new pipe material into place.
However, trenchless methods aren’t suitable for every situation. Severely collapsed pipes, certain pipe materials, or limited access may require traditional excavation. We assess your specific circumstances and recommend the most cost-effective approach for your property and budget constraints.
Modern sewer repairs should provide decades of reliable service when executed properly. New PVC pipe installations typically last 50-100 years under normal conditions. Trenchless pipe lining systems carry manufacturer warranties of 50+ years.
Fair Oaks’ soil conditions and active tree root growth mean some properties face ongoing maintenance needs. Regular preventive cleaning every 2-3 years can prevent most emergency situations and significantly extend your sewer system’s operational life.
The key is addressing problems early when repairs are simple and affordable. Minor root intrusion or small cracks cost hundreds to fix. Waiting until major backups occur usually means thousands in emergency repairs and potential property damage.
Immediately stop using all water in your house—no toilet flushing, faucet use, or appliance operation. This prevents additional sewage from backing up into your living spaces and making the situation worse.
If sewage is actively flowing into your home, locate and shut off your main water supply, then call our emergency sewer service line. Don’t attempt to clear blockages yourself using chemical drain cleaners, which can create dangerous chemical reactions and worsen the problem.
We provide 24/7 emergency response because sewer problems don’t respect business hours. Our emergency protocol focuses on stopping immediate damage first, then developing a permanent solution once your home is safe and sanitary again.
Sewer service costs depend entirely on what’s actually wrong with your system. Basic drain cleaning might run a few hundred dollars, while complete sewer line replacement can cost several thousand depending on pipe length, depth, and access challenges.
We provide detailed upfront pricing before beginning any work. Our camera inspection eliminates guesswork, so you’re not paying for unnecessary services. Many customers report our final bills were actually lower than our initial estimates.
Fair Oaks’ mature neighborhoods sometimes present access complications that affect pricing, but we factor these into our quotes from the start. We also offer financing options for larger projects because we understand sewer emergencies rarely happen when it’s financially convenient.
Absolutely, particularly in Fair Oaks where many homes exceed 40 years old. Preventive camera inspections identify developing problems while they’re still inexpensive to address rather than waiting for emergency situations.
We recommend sewer inspections every 3-5 years for homes over 30 years old, or immediately when purchasing property. Tree root intrusion develops gradually over time, and early detection means simple cleaning instead of major reconstruction.
The inspection also provides valuable planning information. If your sewer line has 5-10 years of remaining service life, you can budget for eventual replacement rather than facing an unexpected financial emergency when the system finally fails completely.
