We’ve been handling North Sacramento’s unique sewer challenges since 1999. We understand how this area’s mature trees send roots searching for water in your sewer lines. We know how Sacramento’s soil conditions affect pipe stability over time.

North Sacramento homeowners trust us because we’ve earned it—one honest repair at a time.
First, we inspect your sewer line with advanced camera technology. This shows us exactly what’s wrong and where—no digging, no guessing. You see the same footage we do, so you understand exactly what needs fixing.

Our sewer services cover every problem North Sacramento properties face. Emergency repairs for sudden backups and overflows. Camera inspections to diagnose mysterious slow drains. Root removal for Sacramento’s notorious tree root intrusions.
Sewer line replacement using trenchless methods that save your landscaping. Traditional excavation when soil conditions or pipe damage require it. Preventive maintenance to catch problems before they become emergencies.
North Sacramento’s aging infrastructure means many homes have sewer lines installed decades ago. We work with clay pipes, cast iron, and PVC—whatever your home has. Our local experience means we know which solutions work best for different neighborhoods and soil types throughout the area.
Call immediately if you have sewage backing up into your home, multiple drains backing up at once, or sewage odors inside your house. These situations can create health hazards and cause expensive property damage quickly.
Also call right away if you see sewage pooling in your yard or notice your toilet bubbling when you run water elsewhere in the house. These signs often mean your main sewer line is blocked or damaged.
Less urgent signs include slow drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds from drains, or unusually green patches in your yard. These still need professional attention but aren’t immediate emergencies.
Tree roots are the biggest culprit in North Sacramento. Our mature trees send roots searching for water, and they find it in tiny cracks in sewer lines. Once roots get in, they grow and eventually block or break the pipes completely.
Sacramento’s soil conditions also create problems. Clay soil expands and contracts with weather changes, putting pressure on buried pipes. Some areas have sandy soil that shifts over time, causing pipes to separate at joints.
Many North Sacramento homes have older sewer lines made from clay or cast iron that naturally deteriorate over decades. These materials become brittle and crack, especially where tree roots create additional pressure.
Simple drain cleaning usually runs $150-400 depending on the severity of the blockage. Camera inspections cost around $200-300 but often save money by pinpointing exactly what needs fixing.
Trenchless sewer repair typically costs $3,000-8,000 depending on the length of pipe and access conditions. Traditional excavation and replacement runs $4,000-12,000 but may be necessary for severely damaged lines or difficult soil conditions.
Emergency service calls include additional fees, but we provide upfront pricing before starting any work. Many repairs cost less than our initial estimate, and we never add surprise charges after the job is done.
Never attempt sewer line repairs yourself. Sewage contains dangerous bacteria and gases that require proper safety equipment and training to handle safely. DIY attempts often make problems worse and more expensive to fix properly.
You can try basic drain cleaning for minor clogs, but if multiple drains are affected or you smell sewer gases, call us immediately. Sewer line work also requires permits and inspections in most cases.
Store-bought drain cleaners can actually damage older pipes, especially clay or cast iron lines common in North Sacramento. Professional equipment and techniques protect your pipes while solving the actual problem.
Simple drain cleaning usually takes 1-3 hours depending on the blockage location and severity. Camera inspections take about an hour but provide valuable information for planning any needed repairs.
Trenchless sewer repairs typically take 1-2 days for most residential jobs. This includes setup, the actual repair work, and cleanup. Traditional excavation and replacement usually takes 2-5 days depending on access and soil conditions.
Emergency repairs get priority scheduling, often same-day service for urgent situations. We work efficiently to restore your sewer function quickly while ensuring the repair will last long-term.
Homeowners are responsible for the sewer line from their house to the property line or street connection. This includes the entire lateral line under your yard and often extends to the main sewer line under the street.
The city maintains the main sewer lines in the street and handles problems that affect multiple properties. However, if the problem originates from your property line, it’s your responsibility even if it affects the main line.
When you’re not sure, call the Sacramento Area Sewer District first at (916) 875-6730. They’ll determine if it’s a city problem and fix it free if it is. If it’s your responsibility, we can handle the repair with transparent pricing and quality workmanship.
