About Our Sewer Line Services

Sewer line problems are as complex as the systems that create them—and problems don’t always begin in the toilet. That’s why we offer comprehensive and versatile solutions for a variety of issues, including replacement, repair, and cleaning for older homes and new ADUs.

Here’s how we ensure that wastewater travels safely from your house to the main sewer line or septic tank with minimal disruption:

Unclog Pipes:

We can use traditional or innovative tools like Hydro Jetting to remove human waste and other solid buildup from sewer lines. This treatment restores full flow to your system.

Drain Snake:

These carefully deployed tools, like professional-grade drain snakes and augers, can effectively eliminate blockages.

Camera Snake:

Diagnose issues outside your building or in your yard with our specialty cameras. We can inspect underground pipes to identify Orangeburg pipe collapse, leaks, tree root damage, and more.

P-Traps

There’s no wastewater treatment facility in your home, but you can reduce unwanted odors with an effective P-trap. We’ll perform a perfect installation, so you can say goodbye to harmful gases.

About Our Sewer Line
Grease Traps:
Old and new pipes can struggle with grease buildup, which is why we offer grease trap installation and cleaning services to prevent clogs.

Clean Outs:

We can use a variety of methods to deep clean your sewer lines, including Hydro Jetting.
Re-piping:
Replace aging or damaged sanitary sewer pipes with modern materials like ABS and PVC pipes that resist cracks, corrosion, and root intrusion.

Marco answered the phone, came out within an hour of me calling, and had it fixed in short order. In a day when others don't even answer the phone, this is unheard of. Did I mention it was on a weekend?!?! Awesome service.

We had just lost my dad, had a lot of company. Our back two toilets plugged. They were so quick to come out. Fixed our problem and was so very nice to work with. It was a Sunday and was much less than others. Thank you for making our lives easier in such a stressful time for us.

Marco was a lifesaver, our fridge supply line failed and was flooding our kitchen. Marco came over to help us at 11pm on a Saturday and while he was here he went above and beyond. I would 100% call them again. I tried 5 “24/7” plumbers who all had AI bots answering their phones and offering me appointments later in the week. Marco answered right away and came out. His professionalism and attitude were perfect. He even put booties on! Thank you so much Marco.

Yes. Our technicians provide 24/7 emergency services for sewage backups so that homeowners and businesses never have to wait while wastewater threatens the property. Whether caused by a clog, collapsed pipe, or major blockage, we respond immediately to stop the backup, remove contaminated water, and perform full cleaning and sanitization.
Many sewage backup problems can be addressed the same day, with some emergencies resolved within just a few hours. For Del Mar residents and nearby communities, we act quickly to halt wastewater flow, prevent contamination, and restore affected areas to safe and functional conditions.
Pooling water near floor drains, unpleasant odors, toilets bubbling when sinks are running, slow drainage, and wastewater rising in tubs or showers are common warning signs. Early recognition allows faster intervention and less damage.
Yes. Tree roots can invade sewer lines, causing blockages that force wastewater back into the home. Older clay and cast-iron pipes are particularly vulnerable. We clear roots and repair or replace affected sections to restore proper function.

For minor clogs, we use drain snaking. Severe buildups or root intrusions are addressed with hydro jetting, which employs high-pressure water to cut through grease, debris, and roots, restoring normal sewer flow.

Yes. Camera inspections allow precise identification of the source of a backup without unnecessary digging. This method reveals cracks, collapsed sections, roots, and hidden obstructions so we can implement the best repair plan.
Scheduling annual inspections and drain cleanings can catch problems before they become severe. Homes with older pipes or properties near large trees may need more frequent maintenance to prevent emergencies.
Raw sewage contains harmful bacteria. Immediate response is critical. We inspect the sewer line, stop the overflow, and remove contaminated water to maintain a safe environment while cleanup continues.
