Sacramento County · Detection
Camera-based inspection finds sewer line breaks, root intrusion, and drain leaks.
Yolonda M., a Land Park, Sacramento homeowner, had been living with slow or gurgling drains throughout the house, not just one fixture for weeks before calling us. Sacramento's tree-lined older neighborhoods, particularly the mature elm and oak canopy in Land Park and Curtis Park, are a well-known source of root intrusion into the city's older clay sewer laterals, some of which date to the early 1900s. The written diagnostic report gave the follow-up contractor exactly where to cut, so the job stayed small.
— Yolonda M., Land Park, Sacramento
Sacramento's tree-lined older neighborhoods, particularly the mature elm and oak canopy in Land Park and Curtis Park, are a well-known source of root intrusion into the city's older clay sewer laterals, some of which date to the early 1900s.
Sewer service in Sacramento connects to the city's public sewer system, and confirming whether an issue sits on your private lateral or the municipal main is one of the first things a camera inspection establishes here.
Sewer line problems tend to show up gradually: slow drains, gurgling, or a damp patch in the yard that never quite dries out. Using push and drain-camera inspection equipment, we run a real-time video line down the sewer lateral to identify cracks, offset joints, root intrusion, or full breaks, and mark the exact distance and location from the cleanout.
Camera inspection lets us show you exactly what's happening inside the line on screen, with the defect's distance from the access point logged, so any excavation or trenchless repair is targeted to that section only.

“Older home near Land Park with original cast iron. They explained the corrosion issue clearly and pointed to the exact section that needed attention instead of a vague 'somewhere in there.'”
“Appointment was easy to schedule and the technician was on time. Found the leak near our water heater connection within the hour.”
“The floor in our hallway had a warm spot for weeks. They found the slab leak in under an hour with the listening equipment and marked a tiny area instead of tearing up the whole hallway. Huge relief.”
“Our water bill jumped for two months straight and we couldn't find why. Turned out it was a slow leak behind the water heater. Professional, on time, and explained everything on the spot.”
“Salt air had corroded a fitting outside near the meter box. They traced it with the acoustic equipment without digging up my whole side yard first. Appreciated the straightforward report.”
