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 Repair in San Jose And Surrounding Areas, CA
Sewer line repair is one of the most common services we perform across San Jose and the surrounding communities of Campbell, Los Gatos, Palo Alto, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale. Many homes in this area were built before 1980 using clay or cast iron pipe. Those materials crack under soil pressure, corrode from the inside out, and give tree roots an easy entry point. Santa Clara County's expansive clay soil shifts during wet and dry seasons, putting constant stress on buried lines. Seismic activity adds another layer of long-term wear that older pipe materials were not built to handle. At Gomez Sewer and Drain, we start every job with a video camera inspection. That inspection tells us exactly where the damage is, what caused it, and whether a spot repair or a full line repair is the right call. No guesswork, no unnecessary digging. If you are seeing slow drains across multiple fixtures, gurgling toilets, foul odors in the yard, or soggy patches of grass, call us. We serve residential and commercial properties throughout the South Bay.

Sewer Line Repair FAQ
Common questions about sewer line repair in San Jose and Surrounding Areas, CA.
Slow drains across multiple fixtures, gurgling toilets, sewage odors near your yard, or soggy grass patches are the most common signs. San Jose homes built before 1980 are especially prone to these issues due to aging clay and cast iron pipes.
Yes, tree root intrusion is one of the leading causes of sewer line damage in Campbell and Los Gatos. Roots enter through small cracks or loose joints in older pipes and grow until they cause a full blockage or structural failure.
Not always. Trenchless repair methods can fix many damaged lines without major excavation, leaving your yard, driveway, and landscaping largely intact. A camera inspection determines which method fits your Sunnyvale or Santa Clara property.
Aging pipe materials, expansive clay soil that shifts with wet and dry seasons, and seismic ground movement are the primary causes in Palo Alto and Santa Clara. These forces crack pipes, separate joints, and create low spots where waste collects.
In most San Jose cases, the homeowner is responsible for the private lateral from the house to the connection point at the city main. Contact your local utility to confirm the exact boundary for your property.
A video camera inspection gives you the clearest answer for your Campbell home. Minor cracks or localized damage often qualify for repair, while collapsed sections or pipes with widespread root damage may require full replacement.
