Sewer Repair
A malfunctioning sewer line is more than just a plumbing problem—it's a health hazard and a threat to your property's foundation. From foul odors and slow drains to catastrophic backups, a damaged sewer can disrupt your life and lead to expensive repairs. At Shark Plumbing, we provide fast, reliable, and professional sewer repair services throughout San Jose, Fremont, Milpitas, and the surrounding Bay Area. Our team is equipped with the latest technology to diagnose the issue accurately and provide the most effective repair solution, minimizing disruption to your home or business.
Signs You Need Sewer Repair
Don't wait for a complete sewer line failure. Recognizing the early signs of damage can save you time, money, and a major headache. Look out for these red flags:
Foul Odors: The persistent smell of sewage inside or outside your property is a clear sign of a crack or blockage in your sewer line.
Recurring Clogs: If multiple drains in your home are frequently clogging, it's often a sign of a deeper issue in the main sewer line.
Gurgling Toilets & Drains: Strange noises from your drains or toilet after flushing can indicate trapped air caused by a blockage.
Lush, Green Patches in Your Yard: An unusually green or soggy patch of grass in your yard may signal a leaking sewer pipe that is fertilizing the soil.
Sinking Concrete or Foundation Cracks: A severely leaking sewer line can erode the soil beneath your foundation, driveway, or patio, causing them to crack or sink.
Pest Infestation: An increase in rats, insects, or other pests in your home can be a sign of a crack in your sewer line, as these creatures are attracted to the waste and have a new entry point.

Our Sewer Repair Solutions
Once we've pinpointed the problem, we'll discuss the best repair options with you, providing transparent pricing and a clear plan of action. Our advanced methods ensure a lasting fix, whether it's a simple repair or a full replacement.
Video Camera Inspection: Our first step is always a comprehensive video inspection of your sewer line. This allows us to see the exact nature and location of the damage without any guesswork, whether it's a tree root intrusion, a collapsed pipe, or a major blockage.
Traditional Trench Repair: For severely damaged, collapsed, or offset pipes, the most reliable solution is a traditional trench repair. Our team will carefully excavate the damaged section, replace it with new, durable piping, and then restore the site.
Trenchless Sewer Repair: In many cases, we can repair your sewer line with minimal disruption to your property. Trenchless methods, such as pipe bursting or relining, allow us to replace or rehabilitate the old pipe through small entry and exit points, saving your yard, driveway, and landscaping from extensive digging.
Hydro Jetting: For severe blockages caused by grease, sludge, or minor root infiltration, our hydro jetting service uses a powerful stream of water to scour the inside of the pipes, leaving them pristine and preventing future clogs.
