Sewer Cleaning, Repair and Replacement

Sewer problems can cause major disruptions, and Samson Home Service is equipped to handle the full range of sewer cleaning, repair and replacement needs throughout Marin County, Sonoma County and the North Bay. We understand local requirements and work cleanly, efficiently and with respect for your property.

How to Know When You Need Sewer Repair

A backed-up or leaking sewer line is one of the most unpleasant plumbing issues a homeowner can face. Sewer problems are far more complex than standard fixture repairs, and they require trained professionals. Depending on the condition of your system, you may only need a small section repaired — or in some cases, a full sewer line replacement.

To determine the right solution, we perform a video inspection to see the inside of your sewer system clearly.

Video Inspection

Accurate sewer repair starts with a detailed inspection. We insert a camera into the line to view the interior of the pipe in real time. This allows us to identify root intrusion, broken or separated joints, offset pipes, blockages and other structural issues.

Our equipment includes locating tools that identify the exact depth and position of the problem from above ground, making it possible to perform precise spot repairs when appropriate.

Common Sewer Problems

Most sewer line damage occurs gradually over time. Older clay, metal or fiber-based pipes are especially vulnerable. Tree roots are one of the biggest causes of failure. A small crack invites root growth, which can block or destroy the pipe. While sewer cleaning can temporarily clear roots, outdated pipe materials may continue to fail.

Homes with clay or older fiber pipes often benefit more from replacement than repeated cleanings.

Sewer Installation

If repairs are not a long-term solution, Samson Home Service provides complete sewer line replacement. We offer trenchless pipe replacement whenever possible, which only requires access points at each end of the existing line. This helps protect landscaping, driveways and walkways.

If trenchless replacement is not an option for your home, we complete the job with care and restore the property as closely as possible to its original condition.

Our team handles the entire process, including:

• Pipe material recommendations

• Installation method selection

• Utility marking coordination

• Permits

• Trenching, excavation and clean-up

• Concrete removal and replacement when needed
