No more sewage backups flooding your basement at 2 AM. No more foul smells drifting across your yard when neighbors visit. No more wondering if that gurgling sound from your toilet means you’re about to face a disaster.
When we finish your sewer repair, you get reliable drainage that handles everything your household throws at it. Your toilets flush properly without that slow, concerning swirl. Your drains flow freely instead of backing up every few weeks. Your property stays clean, safe, and odor-free.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind knowing the problem is actually solved, not just temporarily patched until it fails again next month.
We’ve been solving Diamond Springs sewer problems since 1999. We know this area’s unique challenges inside and out – from aggressive oak and pine tree roots seeking water in our dry Sierra Nevada foothills climate to aging clay pipes in neighborhoods built during the 1960s and 70s housing boom.
As a family-owned business serving El Dorado County, we keep our overhead low and pass those savings directly to you. No corporate markup inflating your bill. No mysterious diagnostic fees that disappear into some distant headquarters. Just honest pricing from neighbors who live and work right here in Diamond Springs.
Our 5-star reputation comes from one simple approach: we treat every sewer emergency like it’s happening at our own home on Pleasant Valley Road.
First, we inspect your sewer line with advanced camera technology that shows us exactly what’s wrong and where. No more guessing whether roots, breaks, or buildup are causing your problems. You see the same footage we do, so you understand exactly what needs fixing.
Next, we explain what we found in plain English and give you upfront pricing for every option. If tree roots are choking your line, we use professional hydro jetting to blast them out completely – not just poke holes like cheaper snake services. For damaged or collapsed pipes, we offer trenchless repair options that fix the problem without turning your landscaping into a construction zone.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly before we pack up. Your system gets a clean bill of health, and you get documentation showing the repair was done properly. No wondering if it’ll work next week when you really need it.

We handle every type of sewer problem Diamond Springs properties face. Emergency backups get same-day service because we know raw sewage in your home can’t wait for a convenient appointment slot. Slow drains get camera inspections to find the real cause, not just temporary band-aid fixes that fail in three months.
Tree root problems are especially common in our area. Diamond Springs’ mature oak, pine, and fruit trees send roots 50+ feet underground searching for water, and they find the tiniest cracks in sewer lines. We use professional-grade hydro jetting equipment to remove root masses completely, then identify and seal entry points so they can’t return.
For older homes with original clay or cast iron pipes, we offer trenchless sewer replacement that installs new, root-resistant HDPE pipes without destroying your entire yard. You get modern materials rated for 50+ years, installed with minimal disruption to your property and daily routine.
Multiple drains backing up simultaneously is the biggest red flag for root blockages. If your toilet gurgles when you run the washing machine, or your basement floor drain backs up when someone showers upstairs, roots are likely forming a dam in your main sewer line.
You might also notice persistently soggy spots in your yard, especially near large trees like the oaks common in Diamond Springs. Root intrusion creates small leaks that keep soil moist year-round, even during our dry summers. Foul sewage odors near your sewer cleanout or around mature trees are another telltale sign.
The only way to know for certain is a professional camera inspection. We can show you real-time footage of exactly what’s happening inside your pipes and whether roots, pipe breaks, or other issues are causing your drainage problems.
Snaking just pokes holes through root masses, giving you temporary relief that lasts maybe 3-6 months. The roots grow back stronger and denser, often creating worse blockages than before. It’s like trimming a bush – you stimulate more growth.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water streams up to 4,000 PSI to completely remove roots and scrub pipe walls clean. Think of it as pressure washing the inside of your sewer line. This removes not just roots, but also grease buildup, mineral deposits, and debris that roots use to anchor themselves and grow.
The results last years instead of months. Hydro jetting also allows us to follow up with camera inspection to document the clean pipes and spot any structural issues that need attention before they become expensive emergencies.
Traditional excavation and replacement typically runs $150-$250 per linear foot, so a 100-foot line costs $15,000-$25,000 including permits and restoration. Trenchless replacement costs $200-$300 per foot upfront but saves thousands in landscaping, driveway, and hardscape restoration.
The actual cost depends heavily on your specific situation. A straight run under open lawn costs significantly less than the same distance weaving under driveways, mature trees, and established flower beds. Depth matters too – lines 6 feet deep cost more than shallow 3-foot installations.
We provide detailed free estimates that break down all costs upfront, including permits, disposal, materials, and labor. No surprise charges for “unforeseen complications” or mysterious add-ons that appear on your final bill.
In most cases, yes. Trenchless pipe lining works for damaged sewer lines that still have structural integrity. We insert a resin-coated liner through existing access points, inflate it against the pipe walls, and cure it in place with hot water or steam. This creates a seamless new pipe inside your existing one.
Pipe bursting handles completely collapsed lines. We pull a new HDPE pipe through the old line while simultaneously breaking apart the damaged pipe. Both methods require only small access holes at each end – no trenching your entire yard.
However, some situations still need traditional excavation. Lines with severe bellying, multiple offset joints, or extensive root damage over long distances might be more cost-effectively replaced with conventional dig-and-replace methods.
We provide 24/7 emergency service throughout El Dorado County and typically arrive within 2-4 hours for true emergencies. Raw sewage backing into your home gets immediate priority – we understand this creates health hazards that can’t wait until regular business hours.
For urgent but contained issues like slow drains or gurgling sounds, we usually provide same-day or next-day service. Our service trucks stay fully stocked with camera equipment, hydro jetting systems, and common repair materials so we can often diagnose and solve problems on the first visit.
If you’re dealing with sewage in your living spaces, call us immediately at (530) 499-2223. We’ll walk you through temporary containment and safety steps while we’re driving to your location.
Tree roots cause about 60% of sewer problems in Diamond Springs. Our area’s mature oak, pine, and fruit trees combined with dry summers create perfect conditions for aggressive root growth. Roots follow moisture and can find cracks smaller than a pencil lead in sewer pipes.
Pipe age is the second major factor. Many Diamond Springs homes built in the 1960s-80s still have original clay or cast iron sewer lines. Clay pipes become brittle and crack over time, while cast iron corrodes and eventually collapses. Both materials are magnets for root intrusion.
Seasonal ground movement also stresses sewer lines. Our clay-heavy soil expands during wet winters and shrinks during dry summers, shifting pipes out of alignment. Poor original installation – inadequate slope, improper bedding, or loose joints – accelerates these failures significantly.
