We understand Arden-Arcade’s unique challenges. From the mature trees whose roots seek out older sewer lines to the soil conditions that can cause pipe bellies as foundations settle, we’ve seen it all. That local knowledge means faster diagnosis and more effective solutions for your home.
First, we respond fast. When you call with a sewer emergency, we’re typically on-site within hours, not days.
Next, we diagnose the problem accurately using video camera inspection technology. This shows us exactly what’s happening inside your pipes—whether it’s tree roots, a collapsed section, or a simple blockage.
Then we explain your options clearly. We’ll show you what we found, discuss repair versus replacement, and provide upfront pricing before any work begins. No hidden fees, no surprise charges.
Finally, we fix it right using the best method for your situation. That might be trenchless repair to preserve your landscaping, traditional excavation for complex issues, or hydro jetting for stubborn blockages. Whatever it takes to get your sewer system working properly again.

Our sewer services cover everything from emergency repairs to planned replacements. We handle broken sewer lines, tree root removal, pipe bellies caused by settling foundations, and complete sewer line replacements.
In Arden-Arcade, we see specific challenges that come with the area’s mature landscaping and aging infrastructure. Many homes built decades ago have clay or cast iron sewer lines that are reaching the end of their useful life. Tree roots from the beautiful mature trees that make this area so desirable often find their way into older pipes.
We use trenchless repair methods whenever possible to minimize disruption to your property. This technology allows us to repair or replace sewer lines without destroying your driveway, landscaping, or hardscaping. For Arden-Arcade homeowners, this means preserving the mature landscaping that adds so much value to properties in this area.
Our emergency service is available 24/7 because sewer problems don’t wait for convenient times. Whether it’s a weekend backup or a middle-of-the-night emergency, we’re ready to respond.
We typically respond to sewer emergencies in Arden-Arcade within a few hours of your call, and we’re available 24/7. Our local presence in the Sacramento area means we’re never far away when you need us.
For true emergencies—like sewage backing up into your home—we prioritize these calls and often arrive within 1-2 hours. We understand that sewer problems can’t wait, especially when they pose health risks or threaten property damage.
Our quick response time is one of the things customers mention most in reviews. We know that when your sewer line fails, every hour counts.
In many cases, yes. We use trenchless sewer repair methods that allow us to fix or replace sewer lines with minimal digging. This is especially important in Arden-Arcade where many homes have mature landscaping and established hardscaping.
Trenchless methods include pipe lining, where we insert a new liner inside the existing pipe, and pipe bursting, where we replace the old pipe by pulling a new one through the same path. These methods preserve your driveway, walkways, and landscaping.
However, some situations do require traditional excavation—like when we need access to make connections or when the damage is too extensive. We’ll always explain your options and choose the method that makes the most sense for your specific situation and budget.
The most common causes we see in Arden-Arcade are tree root intrusion and aging pipe materials. Many homes in the area were built with clay or cast iron sewer lines that are now 30-50+ years old.
Tree roots are attracted to the moisture in sewer lines and will find even small cracks to enter. Once inside, they grow and eventually block the pipe completely. The mature trees that make Arden-Arcade so beautiful are often the culprits.
We also see pipe bellies caused by foundation settling over time. As the ground shifts, pipes can develop low spots where waste collects and clogs form. Additionally, the original pipe materials—cast iron, clay, or early PVC—simply wear out after decades of use.
Sewer repair costs vary significantly depending on the problem, location, and repair method needed. Simple drain cleaning might cost a few hundred dollars, while complete sewer line replacement can range from several thousand to over ten thousand dollars.
We provide free, upfront estimates before any work begins, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. Many of our customers are pleasantly surprised when their final bill comes in under our initial estimate—something we’re proud of.
The investment in proper sewer repair protects your home’s value and prevents much more expensive problems down the road. A failed sewer line can cause foundation damage, contaminate your property, and create serious health hazards. Fixing it right the first time is always more cost-effective than dealing with recurring problems.
Absolutely. Sewer emergencies don’t follow a schedule, so neither do we. We provide 24/7 emergency sewer service in Arden-Arcade, including weekends, holidays, and the middle of the night.
When sewage is backing up into your home or you have a complete sewer line failure, waiting until Monday morning isn’t an option. These situations pose immediate health risks and can cause extensive property damage if not addressed quickly.
Our emergency service includes the same professional technicians, upfront pricing, and quality work you’d get during regular business hours. We don’t charge extra just because it’s an emergency—our pricing is fair and transparent regardless of when you need us.
The decision between repair and replacement depends on the extent of damage, the age of your pipes, and the frequency of problems. Our video camera inspection shows us exactly what’s happening inside your sewer line.
If you’re dealing with frequent backups, multiple drain problems throughout your home, or sewage odors in your yard, it’s time for a professional inspection. Tree roots, cracks, or collapsed sections might be repairable if caught early, but extensive damage often requires replacement.
We’ll show you exactly what we find and explain your options clearly. Sometimes a simple cleaning or spot repair is enough. Other times, especially with older pipe materials, replacement is the most cost-effective long-term solution. We’ll never recommend replacement unless it’s truly the best option for your situation and budget.
