Expert drain cleaning and clogged drain services for Inverness homes. Call now for free estimates! Same-day service available.
Inverness plumbing has its own conditions. Long runs out to the tank, steep drives, older cabins that picked up an extra bathroom somewhere along the way, and winter rain that lifts the water table. We have worked out here since 1986, and we would rather find the root cause of a clog than clear a line and leave you to call again next month.
No. The Inverness Public Utility District provides water and fire protection, not sewer service. Homes in and around Inverness use private septic systems, which Marin County Environmental Health Services regulates as onsite wastewater treatment systems.
From inside the house those two look identical, which is why guessing gets expensive. A camera run through the drain line out to the tank shows whether the line itself is blocked or damaged. If the line is clear and flowing, attention moves to the tank and the leach field.
Our work covers the drain lines inside the house and the line running out to the tank. Tank pumping and leach field work belong to septic specialists. The value of a camera inspection is that it tells you which of the two you are dealing with, so you are not paying the wrong trade to guess at it.
Two reasons, and they often arrive together. A saturated leach field cannot accept as much water once the ground is soaked. And a cracked drain line lets groundwater seep in, which fills the line before your household even uses it. Both read as slower drains after a storm.
That depends on the pipe, so we camera it first. A sound line cleans up well under jetting. A line that has cracked or lost its shape needs repair, and jetting it would be the wrong move. We would rather tell you that before we start than after.
Yes. We work throughout West Marin and across the rest of Marin and Sonoma counties, including properties well off the paved road.
Yes, hydro-jetting is especially effective at removing tree root clogs in sewer lines. It uses a strong jet of water to completely clear all sides of the drain from debris instead of simply punching a hole through the clog.
Yes! Older properties should receive regular drain maintenance to stay ahead of things like root intrusion and pipe deterioration.
Absolutely! With modern tools like hydrojetters, plumbers are able to clear out entire sewer lines from debris without replacing the line. Replacement is only necessary if there is damage.
From the Marin coast to Sonoma wine country, we bring honest plumbing, heating & cooling to homeowners across both counties — based locally since 1986.
