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.

Santa Silva Google review · February 2026

5/5 stars – I was very impressed with Gomez Sewer and Drain. Ivan & his entire crew are wonderful! They showed up on time as promised, squeezed me in next day on the schedule, handled the problem quickly & efficiently, cleaned up beautifully, and sent me the emailed invoice, all within 24 hours! I'm a realtor of 23 years and had a back up in a condo I'm selling. I had no time to waste and they came to my rescue quickly! They made me look good to my clients. I have them on speed dial and part of my trusted team. I highly recommend you put them on yours.

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to Fidel Gomez for his quick response and help! My daughter had a bit of a mishap by putting a toy down the toilet, and we were without a working toilet for nearly three months. A plumber came to fix it, but they initially suggested replacing the entire toilet. However, something just didn’t feel right, and I suspected the toy was still inside. To my surprise, when I called Fidel, there was a bubble bee inside! So, we owe him a huge thank you for his prompt assistance and for saving the day. He’s definitely my go-to plumber from now on.
