ER Plumbing & Construction | Experienced Plumber in Oakland, CA

For tree root intrusion in Oakland's older sewer systems, we start with a sewer lateral camera inspection to pinpoint the exact location and severity. We then use trenchless methods like pipe lining or bursting where possible, which minimizes property disruption compared to traditional digging. For slab leaks, we employ electronic leak detection to accurately locate the problem within the concrete foundation before performing a precise, targeted repair. Our approach is designed to be efficient and cause the least amount of disturbance to your home and landscaping.

Our General Engineering Contractor license (C-42) allows ER Plumbing & Construction to manage and execute entire projects that integrate plumbing with other structural or civil engineering work. This includes major sewer and water main installations, storm drain construction, and complex site preparation that involves grading or excavation. It means we can be your single point of contact for projects requiring coordination between underground utilities, ensuring everything is done to code and with proper permitting, which is especially valuable for new construction, remodels, and large-scale repairs.

A Private Sewer Lateral (PSL) Certification is often required by the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) when selling a home in Oakland. It verifies that the sewer lateral connecting your property to the public main is in good, functional condition with no defects like cracks or root intrusion. As a PSL Certification Specialist, we perform the mandatory camera inspection and any necessary repairs to bring your lateral into compliance. Having this certification completed in advance can prevent delays and complications during the real estate transaction process.
