Alameda is an island of Victorians, Edwardians, and post-war bungalows sitting on a high water table. That combination produces a specific set of plumbing problems, and we have been solving them across the East Bay since 2002.
High water table, old laterals
Groundwater sitting close to the surface finds its way into cracked clay sewer laterals, which overloads the line and shows up as slow drains and backups. A camera inspection finds the breaks instead of guessing at them.
Victorian-era supply lines
Many of these homes have been repiped once already, badly, in sections. Mixed materials and old galvanized runs cause pressure loss and pinhole leaks. We replace the whole run rather than patching the same wall twice.
Trenchless where the lot allows
Alameda lots are tight and the landscaping is often original. When a line qualifies, trenchless replacement means we are not digging up the whole yard.
Sewer lateral compliance in Alameda
Alameda has a private sewer lateral ordinance, so a compliance certificate comes up when a property sells. We are EBMUD and PSL certified and handle the inspection, repair, testing, and paperwork as one job.
