Sewer inspection & repair
The sewer lateral between a San Francisco property and the main is the owner's responsibility, and its condition is often raised at point of sale. A camera inspection gives you a recording of the line's actual condition rather than an estimate.
What the visit covers
- Camera inspection with recorded footage
- Locating and depth-marking the line
- Root cutting and descaling
- Spot repair or section replacement
Signs you'd notice
- More than one fixture backing up at once
- Sewage smell in the yard or at the lowest drain
- A sale or refinance that has asked for a lateral report
How a job runs
Request, estimate, repair
Three steps, in that order. The estimate sits between the diagnosis and the work so nothing starts before the price is agreed.
- 1
Request service
Call, or send the details through the quote form. We ask what the symptom is, where it is, and when it started.
- 2
Receive an estimate
We diagnose the cause on site and put a written price to the work before anything is dismantled.
- 3
Complete the work
The agreed work is carried out, tested under load, and the site is left clean. The invoice matches the estimate.
