Professional Plumbing Repair in San Francisco, CA 94112 - JM Plumbing

Tree root intrusion is a common issue in San Francisco due to our mature trees and older sewer infrastructure. We first use a specialized sewer camera to inspect the line and locate the exact problem. For minor root growth, we can often clear the line with a powerful hydro-jetter. If roots have caused significant damage or collapse, we offer trenchless sewer repair or full replacement to minimize disruption to your property and landscaping, providing a durable, long-term fix.

Bathroom drains here frequently clog due to a combination of hair, soap scum, and mineral deposits from our hard water. Over time, this creates a stubborn, cement-like blockage. Our approach starts with a thorough drain cleaning using professional-grade augers or hydro-jetting to remove the entire clog. We can also advise on preventative measures, like installing hair catchers, and perform regular maintenance to keep your drains flowing freely.

Yes, in many cases. For leaks in accessible water lines under sinks or in walls, we perform precise repairs. For damaged lines under slabs or foundations—a concern in many SF homes—we often use trenchless pipe lining technology. This method repairs the pipe from the inside by inserting a durable epoxy liner, creating a new pipe-within-a-pipe. It's faster, less invasive, and often more cost-effective than traditional excavation, saving your floors and landscaping.
