A sewage backup rising in a basement floor drain, repeated backups every time the washer runs, or a foul smell in the yard that won't go away — sewer line problems escalate fast and rarely resolve on their own. Our Novato sewer team camera-inspects before recommending any repair.
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 Novato, CA requires specific licensing beyond general plumbing — our technicians carry it.
We treat active backups as emergencies, not routine scheduling.
These are the sewer line issues we see most across Novato, 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.
A resin liner is installed inside the damaged pipe, sealing cracks and root entry points without digging up the yard.
Root removal alone sometimes isn't enough if roots have already cracked the pipe — we check both.
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.
A maintenance plan on a problem main line can prevent repeat emergency calls.
Describe the symptoms to dispatch — a single backup versus recurring issues changes how the visit is scheduled.

The line is camera-inspected, the cause identified, and you'll see the footage before a repair method is recommended.
