Signs You Need Drain Service

Sewer Inspection & Sewer Repair

Sewer problems require accurate diagnosis before repairs begin.

Our sewer services include:

  • Sewer camera inspections
  • Sewer line locating
  • Sewer line repair
  • Sewer line replacement

Using advanced plumbing camera inspection equipment, we can see inside your sewer line to identify:

This allows us to repair the exact problem — not guess.

Hydro Jetting Services

For severe blockages and heavy buildup, hydro jetting provides a powerful, long-lasting solution.

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to thoroughly clean the inside of your drain and sewer pipes, removing:

  • Years of grease accumulation
  • Mineral scale
  • Root intrusion
  • Sludge buildup

This is especially effective for restaurants, older homes, and properties with recurring clogs.

Why Sewer & Drain Issues Are Common in North County

Homes throughout San Marcos, Fallbrook, and Bonsall often deal with:

  • Aging clay sewer lines
  • Root intrusion from mature landscaping
  • Soil shifting
  • Grease buildup in older plumbing systems

In coastal areas like Del Mar and Encinitas, corrosion and environmental factors can also impact sewer line durability.

Understanding these local conditions helps us recommend the right long-term solution.

Who This Service Is Best For

Our sewer and drain services are ideal for:

  • Homeowners with recurring clogs
