Sewer Line Repair in Petaluma, CA

Petaluma has the highest concentration of old Victorians in Sonoma County, and that shows up underground. The 1880s to 1910s Queen Annes and Italianates over on the west side often still run original clay and cast iron sewer laterals, and after more than a hundred years those pipes crack, offset at the joints, and fill with roots. Cross the river to the newer east side tracts off McDowell and the lines are in better shape. Down in the Payran area, homes sit in the flood plain, so heavy rain pushes groundwater into any cracked lateral and backs drains up fast. We are about ten minutes south of Petaluma down Highway 101, and we have worked these old west side sewers since 2017. We camera the line before anything else, so you know whether you are looking at a spot repair or a full replacement.

What that looks like on the job: A common Petaluma job is a west side Victorian near Historic Downtown where the original clay lateral has cracked and filled with roots. We camera it, clear the line, and spot-repair or replace only the failed section.
