Sewer trouble in Danville
Danville homes are newer than most in the East Bay, but many are now forty to sixty years old, and so are their sewer lines. Lots are large. The lateral can run a long way from the house to the street, under lawns, mature oaks, driveways and sometimes a pool deck. Long lines under big trees are where roots and breaks show up.
The signs: several drains slow at once, gurgling when the washer empties, a backup in the lowest shower, or a patch of lawn that stays wet and green along the line.
Start with a camera
A sewer camera inspection shows the inside of the pipe and where the problem sits. On a large lot that matters a great deal. Knowing the exact spot can mean one small dig instead of a trench across the yard.
Repair without wrecking the yard
Landscaping, paving and hardscape are a big part of a Danville property. Where the pipe allows it, trenchless replacement works through small pits at each end and leaves the surface between them alone. For a single break, a spot repair may be all that is needed. When a line is finished, we replace it. You get the choices and the cost of each before work starts, and when a permit is needed, we pull it.
Shops, offices and small buildings
We also repair sewer lines for small commercial properties in Danville: retail, offices and restaurants where a backup stops business. Tell us the hours you need to stay open and we plan the work around them. Property managers can read more on our commercial page.
Who runs the sewers
Danville's public sewers are run by Central San, the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District. Central San maintains the mains. The line on your property, up to the connection, is the owner's to keep up.
