Comprehensive sewer and drain solutions tailored to Berkeley properties. Click any service to learn more.

Sewer Line Repair

From spot repairs to full section replacements, we fix damaged sewer lines efficiently and permanently. Camera-verified diagnostics ensure we repair exactly what needs fixing — nothing more, nothing less.

Sewer Camera Inspection

Advanced video camera inspection of your sewer and drain lines. Real-time footage identifies problems, pinpoints locations, and helps us recommend the most cost-effective solution.

Sewer Line Cleaning

Thorough sewer line cleaning to remove grease, sludge, roots, and mineral deposits. We use hydro jetting and mechanical cleaning to restore full flow to your main sewer line.

Drain Repair

Drain pipe repair that addresses the root cause, not just the symptom. We camera-inspect, identify the failure point, and repair or replace the damaged section for lasting results.

Sewer Line Relining

Cured-in-place pipe lining creates a seamless new pipe inside your existing damaged sewer line. No excavation required — just a smooth, jointless liner that lasts 50+ years.

Clogged Drain Repair

Professional clog removal using drain snakes, augers, and hydro jetting. We clear tough blockages that store-bought cleaners and home remedies cannot touch, then verify clear flow with camera inspection.

Sewer Line Installation

New sewer line installation for additions, new construction, and properties connecting to municipal sewer for the first time. Proper grade, materials, and connections for long-term reliability.

Sewer Cleanout

Sewer cleanout installation gives you easy access to your main sewer line for future maintenance and emergency clearing. We install code-compliant cleanouts at the most strategic locations.

Drain Snake Service

Commercial drain snaking for residential and commercial properties. Our motorized cable machines clear roots, grease, and debris from drain lines up to 100 feet or more from the access point.

Hydro Jetting

High-pressure hydro jetting at up to 4,000 PSI scours pipe walls clean of grease, roots, scale, and mineral deposits. The most thorough pipe cleaning method available for residential and commercial lines.

Sewer Backup

Fast sewer backup cleanup and repair. We clear the blockage, sanitize affected areas, and diagnose the cause to prevent future backups. Available around the clock for emergencies.

Emergency Drain Service

Around-the-clock emergency drain service for overflowing drains, sewage backups, and flooding. We respond fast with professional equipment to stop the emergency and protect your property.

Commercial Drain Cleaning

Commercial drain cleaning designed for business operations. We schedule service around your hours, clean every drain in your facility, and maintain records for health and code compliance.

Grease Trap Cleaning

Complete grease trap maintenance including pumping, scraping, and cleaning. We document service for health department records and recommend optimal cleaning intervals based on your kitchen volume.

Drain Cleaning

Expert drain clearing for every type of clog. Our technicians diagnose the blockage location and severity, then use the most effective cleaning method to restore full drainage flow.

Sewer Line Replacement

When your sewer line is beyond repair, we replace the entire run from house to main with durable modern piping. Includes permits, inspection, and backfill with compacted material.

Storm Drain Cleaning

Preventive storm drain cleaning that protects your property from water damage during heavy rainfall. We remove leaves, silt, and debris that block drainage and cause pooling and flooding.

Trenchless Sewer Repair

Trenchless sewer repair fixes damaged pipes without excavation. We use CIPP lining or pipe bursting to rehabilitate your sewer line while preserving your yard, driveway, and landscaping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about sewer or drain service in Berkeley? We have answers.

What causes recurring drain clogs in Berkeley homes?

Recurring clogs in Berkeley homes are usually caused by grease buildup inside drain lines, tree root intrusion into sewer pipes, pipe bellies or offsets that trap debris, or undersized plumbing. A sewer camera inspection identifies the root cause so we can fix the real problem, not just clear the symptom temporarily.

What is trenchless sewer repair and is it available in Berkeley?

Trenchless sewer repair uses pipe lining or pipe bursting technology to fix damaged sewer lines without digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping. It is faster, less disruptive, and often costs less than traditional excavation. Our Berkeley crews perform trenchless repairs when site conditions allow — saving you time, money, and landscaping restoration costs.

Does homeowners insurance cover sewer line repair in Berkeley, CA?

Most standard homeowners insurance policies in Berkeley do not cover sewer line repair due to normal wear and aging. However, sudden damage from events like tree root intrusion or ground shifting may be partially covered. Some carriers offer sewer line endorsements. We help Berkeley homeowners understand their coverage and provide documentation for claims that do apply.

What is hydro jetting and when is it needed in Berkeley?

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water — up to 4,000 PSI — to scour pipe walls clean, removing grease, scale, tree roots, and mineral deposits. It is recommended for Berkeley properties with recurring clogs, heavy grease buildup, or sewer lines blocked by roots. It is the most effective way to restore full flow to your pipes.

How do you diagnose sewer problems in Berkeley without digging?

We use a specialized waterproof camera that is inserted into your sewer line through a cleanout. The camera transmits real-time video that shows us the exact location and nature of any blockage, crack, offset joint, or root intrusion. This lets us recommend the most cost-effective repair for your Berkeley property without any excavation.

Do you handle both residential and commercial drain cleaning in Berkeley?

Yes. Our Berkeley, CA teams are equipped for drain cleaning at any scale — from residential kitchen and bathroom drains to commercial restaurant grease lines, multi-unit buildings, and industrial facilities. We carry equipment rated for pipes from 1.5 inches to 12 inches in diameter.

What Our Customers Say

Real reviews from property owners we have served across the country.

★★★★★

"Very fair company. They quoted a drain snaking, found out it needed hydro jetting instead, and honored the original quote even though jetting costs more. That kind of integrity earns repeat business."

— Sharon DiNardo
★★★★★

"Outstanding emergency service. Sewer backed up into the basement on Christmas Eve. They had a technician available who cleared the blockage and sanitized the affected area. Above and beyond service."

— Elizabeth Caputo
★★★★★

"This company installed a cleanout for us after we had repeated backup issues. Now maintenance is easy and we have not had a backup since. Should have done this years ago."
