Our experience was terrific. We had a medium sized job: replace the 90 year old iron sewer connection out rom back of home, down the driveway and out to the property line, and add a BBQ island (sink, garbage disposal, gas appliances) in the back yard. All together about 150' of sewer plus venting for the BBQ island, and water, gas to the BBQ. All work was done with permits. The quote included connection to the sewer under the home (not just at the exterior foundation where other quotes specified). Communication was excellent. They arrived when they said they would. Both the principals and the workers are very good people. Work went quickly when not waiting on inspections (schedule inspections early!). I judge a firm by how they handle problems. In this case, the rough plumbing inspector gave the OK for a certain island venting technique. The different final inspector said it must be changed, and Gomez plumbing just fixed it promptly, all within the original quote. Of course we waited for a second final inspection before getting the project closed (schedule early!) Gomez is now our go-to plumber.

Expert Sewer Line Inspection in San Jose And Surrounding Areas, CA
Sewer line inspection is the first step toward knowing what is actually happening underground at your property. At Gomez Sewer and Drain, we use camera inspection equipment to send a waterproof camera directly through your sewer line. The camera shows us cracks, root intrusion, pipe bellies, and blockages in real time. Many homes across San Jose, Campbell, Los Gatos, Palo Alto, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale were built before 1980. Older properties in these cities commonly have clay or cast iron sewer lines. Those materials crack, corrode, and shift over time, especially in areas with clay-heavy soil that expands and contracts with seasonal moisture changes. Mature trees throughout the South Bay also send roots toward pipe joints, making root intrusion one of the most common issues we find. A camera inspection gives you a clear, documented picture of your line's condition before any repair decision is made. If you are seeing slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewage odors, or soggy patches in your yard, call Gomez Sewer and Drain to schedule your inspection.
