No sewer repair is recommended without first confirming the cause on camera.
We evaluate whether trenchless lining is viable before defaulting to a full dig-up.
Sewer work in Burlingame, CA requires specific licensing beyond general plumbing — our technicians carry it.
A sewage backup gets priority dispatch since it's both a health concern and an active property damage risk.
These are the sewer line issues we see most across Burlingame, CA, each requiring a different repair approach.
A waterproof camera is run the full length of the line to locate breaks, root intrusion, or bellied sections.
Lining is often viable for cracked or root-damaged pipe that hasn't fully collapsed.
A root-cutting head clears the blockage, then the line is reassessed for structural damage the roots may have caused.
When a section has collapsed or is too damaged for lining, we replace it, minimizing excavation to the affected section where possible.
Active backups get immediate dispatch to clear the blockage and stop sewage from continuing to back up into the home.
Recurring backups on an otherwise sound line often just need scheduled jetting to stay clear.
Active backups get flagged for priority dispatch immediately.
