Services
Drain Cleaning
Our drain cleaning services address clogs, slow drainage, and foul odors using motorized augers and hydro-jetting. With 30+ years of experience, we resolve residential and commercial issues while preventing future blockages through regular maintenance. Our technicians use camera inspections to identify root causes like tree intrusion or grease buildup, ensuring long-lasting solutions that protect your property's plumbing infrastructure.
Trenchless Sewer Repair
Trenchless sewer repair minimizes landscape disruption while replacing damaged pipes. Using pipe-bursting and CIPP relining methods, we install durable HDPE or epoxy-lined pipes with minimal excavation. This approach reduces restoration costs and project timelines, typically completing repairs in two days. Our Class A licensed team handles public infrastructure connections, making us ideal for complex municipal compliance projects in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties.
Sewer Camera Inspection
Our sewer camera inspections use high-resolution video to identify cracks, root intrusions, and blockages in lateral lines. This non-invasive method guides targeted repairs, avoiding unnecessary excavation. We provide detailed video reports for pre-sale property assessments and city compliance requirements. With real-time diagnostics, we resolve issues like collapsed pipes or corrosion while preserving your property's hardscaping and landscaping.
CIPP Pipe Relining
CIPP relining restores damaged pipes by inserting epoxy-saturated liners that create seamless, corrosion-resistant replacements. This trenchless method extends pipe lifespan up to 50 years while maintaining structural integrity. We use calibrated inflation tubes and resin curing to repair cracks and root damage without excavation. Ideal for aging clay or cast iron pipes, this solution meets Ventura and Santa Barbara County codes while minimizing property disruption.
Hydrojetting
Hydrojetting removes stubborn blockages and scale buildup using water pressurized up to 4,000 PSI. Our equipment clears grease, mineral deposits, and tree roots from 2-inch drain lines to large sewer mains. This environmentally friendly method cleans pipes thoroughly while protecting surrounding infrastructure. We recommend annual hydrojetting for commercial kitchens and properties with recurring clogs to maintain optimal flow and prevent emergency situations.
