Sewer Services We Provide in Santa Cruz

We offer a complete range of residential sewer and drain services throughout Santa Cruz and Santa Cruz County, including Watsonville. Whether you’re dealing with a stubborn clog or a failing lateral, we have the tools and experience to diagnose the problem and address it properly.

• Drain cleaning: Clearing blockages from kitchen, bathroom, and main sewer lines using mechanical and water-based methods.
• Sewer camera inspection: A camera on a flexible cable travels through the pipe to locate blockages, cracks, and root intrusion before any digging begins. This is usually the first step in diagnosing a sewer problem.
• Hydro jetting: High-pressure water scours grease, roots, and mineral buildup from the full diameter of the pipe, useful when standard snaking can’t fully clear the line.
• Sewer line repair and replacement: From targeted repairs to full sewer line replacement, we assess the right scope for your situation.
• Trenchless sewer repair: Pipe lining and pipe bursting methods repair or replace the pipe from access points at each end, keeping excavation minimal and helping preserve your yard.
• Sewer lateral inspection: Licensed inspection of the private lateral for point-of-sale compliance and general condition assessment.

Financing options are available to help manage the cost of larger sewer repairs or replacements. Ask us about it when you call.

Santa Cruz Sewer Lateral Rules: What Homeowners Should Know

The City of Santa Cruz Sanitary Sewer System Ordinance, effective August 1, 2018, requires property owners to have their sewer lateral inspected by a licensed plumber, complete any needed repairs, and submit documentation before a property sale can close. The private sewer lateral is the pipe that runs from your home to the public sewer main in the street, and maintaining it, including the section under the sidewalk and street right-of-way, is the homeowner’s responsibility.

Many older homes in Santa Cruz and Watsonville have aging clay tile, cast iron, or Orangeburg laterals that are prone to cracking and root intrusion. If you’re preparing to sell or just want to know what condition your lateral is in, we can perform the inspection and walk you through what we find. We can help with the documentation process and complete any required repairs related to the lateral inspection findings.
