Pacific Plumbers | Qualified Plumber in Sacramento, CA

Absolutely. Tree root intrusion into sewer lines is a very common issue in Sacramento due to our older neighborhoods and thirsty trees. We first use a specialized camera inspection to locate the exact point of intrusion and assess the pipe's condition. For roots, we typically perform high-pressure hydro-jetting to clear the blockage and cut the roots, followed by a root-inhibiting treatment. If the roots have caused significant damage or joint failure, we'll discuss repair options like trenchless pipe lining or a targeted excavation to replace the damaged section, always aiming for the most effective and least disruptive solution for your property.

Our comprehensive plumbing inspection is designed to give Sacramento homeowners peace of mind. We check for leaks, test water pressure, inspect visible pipes for corrosion or joint failures, assess water heater age and performance, and examine drains for slow flow. For a more complete picture, we often recommend a video camera inspection of your main sewer line, which is crucial for identifying hidden problems like root intrusion or deteriorating pipes common in our area. You'll receive a detailed report with our findings, photos or video evidence, and honest recommendations for any maintenance or repairs, with no pressure to proceed.

Our process for water heater installation is thorough and designed for minimal hassle.

Our licensed technicians handle everything: disconnecting and removing the old unit, ensuring all gas, water, and electrical connections are up to current Sacramento code, installing the new water heater with proper ventilation and safety measures, and testing it thoroughly. We also properly dispose of your old unit. With our founder's background in construction management, we emphasize a clean, efficient, and code-compliant installation from start to finish.
