What We Do
Sewer Problems? We Inspect, Repair and Replace — All in One Call
Most sewer problems start small: a slow drain, a faint odor in the yard, a toilet that gurgles for no clear reason. Left alone, those signs lead to backups, soggy ground, and emergency excavation. JetPipe Plumbing handles the full cycle, from pinpoint camera inspection to targeted repair and complete line replacement, so you never have to call three different contractors to solve one problem.

Why It Matters
These Warning Signs Mean Your Sewer Line Needs Attention Now
San Mateo has a large stock of homes built before 1980, many of which still have original clay or cast iron sewer pipes. Add mature street trees, Bay Area soil movement, and decades of use, and you have the conditions that produce the majority of sewer failures we see on the Peninsula. If any of the following apply to your home, a camera inspection is the fastest way to know what you are actually dealing with.
Multiple drains backing up or running slow at the same time
Gurgling sounds from toilets or floor drains when water runs elsewhere
Persistent sewage odor inside the house or in the yard
Wet patches, sunken ground, or unusually green grass over the sewer path
Buying or selling a home and want verified condition before closing

How It Works
Our Process: Inspect First, Then Decide
We Access the Line
Via cleanout, toilet flange, or roof vent. No demolition required to get the camera in
Run the Camera
A high-resolution waterproof camera with LED lighting travels the full length of the line
Inspect in Real Time
You see exactly what is inside: root intrusions, cracks, grease buildup, collapsed sections, and offset joints
Explain the Findings
We walk you through the footage on-site, explain what each issue means, and answer every question.
Recommend Repair or Replacement
You get a specific recommendation — targeted repair, trenchless pipe bursting, or full replacement — with upfront flat-rate pricing before anything starts.
Complete the Work
In most cases we can move directly from inspection to repair or replacement on the same visit or the following day, with full site cleanup on completion.
Not every plumber offers real sewer inspection services. We invest in top-of-the-line video camera pipe inspection and training so that you get the full story — not a guess.
Perfect For
Is This the Right Service for Your San Mateo Home?
Older Homes — especially pre-1980s properties with original clay or cast iron sewer pipes
Home Buyers and Sellers — verify sewer condition as part of due diligence before any deal closes
Recurring Clogs — find what is actually causing backups in your main line, not just the nearest fixture
Properties with Large Trees — root intrusion is one of the leading causes of sewer failures on the Peninsula
Homes Without Cleanout Access — we access the line via roof vent or fixture when no cleanout is present
Before and After Drain Cleaning — camera confirms the line is fully clear, not just temporarily cleared
Any San Mateo home built before the 1990s or with aging original plumbing is a strong candidate for a professional sewer inspection.
