Sewer Lateral Repair
We specialize in diagnosing and repairing private sewer laterals that connect buildings to municipal systems. Our technicians use camera inspections to identify cracks, root intrusions, or misaligned joints. Repairs follow EBMUD compliance standards while minimizing landscape disruption through strategic excavation techniques.
Trenchless Sewer Replacement
This minimally invasive method replaces damaged sewer lines using pipe bursting or lining technology. We create small access points instead of full trenches, preserving hardscapes and reducing restoration costs. Ideal for properties with complex landscaping or concrete surfaces.
EBMUD Compliance Certification
We facilitate East Bay Municipal Utility District private sewer lateral compliance through video inspections and pressure testing. Our team handles permit acquisition, municipal coordination, and documentation submission to ensure smooth real estate transactions.
Sewer Video Inspection
High-resolution cameras navigate sewer lines to identify blockages, corrosion, or structural issues. This non-destructive diagnostic tool provides real-time visuals that inform precise repair strategies and compliance verification.
Pressure Water Testing
We perform hydrostatic testing to verify sewer system integrity by pressurizing lines with water. This EBMUD-mandated process confirms leak-free connections between private and public sewer infrastructure through measurable pressure retention data.

Vincent and Sewer Master are expert, honest, and reliable. He took the time to thoroughly assess the situation before providing an accurate estimate of the work needed. Other companies eyeballed it and could have cost us a whole lot more with unnecessary work.
Vincent and Sewer Master completed everything as planned in less than a week, and we now have our EBMUD PSL Certificate before the deadline. Highly recommend going with Sewer Master and not bothering with other companies. Will happily use them again when needed, thank you Vincent!!

We contacted Sewer Master to conduct an assessment of our Sewer Lateral. Vincent was responsive to our inquiry and scheduled an appointment to come to our home. He arrived promptly at our appointment time, completed a thorough assessment and outlined our options. We are very satisfied with the work completed and the ease in which Sewer Master assisted us with obtaining our Sewer Lateral Certification. I highly recommend Sewer Master!

I got an email from this company that they are offering a free sewer lateral inspection and estimate repairs for listings. We scheduled an inspection that was supposedly conducted the next morning. Day later we emailed them to ask if the inspection is ready and they told us "they are not bidding on the project". We lost time and now need to find and schedule someone new.
VERY unprofessional.

Vincent and his team are awesome. I shopped around for a couple different quotes and Sewer Master came through with the lowest offer. Plus they were highly recommended so I decided to go with them for the replacement of my ancient sewer piper in the backyard. The pipe was destroyed by giant tree roots to the point that it was pretty much non-existent. Despite the giant mess of a pipe that was in my yard, when they were done they went above and beyond to try to make the disturbance to my yard as minimal as possible. Super super quick, super professional and you can tell they care about the long
