Have Professionals Perform An Albany Sewer Inspection
Before Streamline Plumbing begins any sewer repair in Albany, we must perform an exhaustive inspection of your sewer lines. To carry out an Albany sewer inspection, our team employs a closed-circuit television system attached to a drain camera. This set-up allows us to remotely examine the condition of your lines and determine what the best course of action is for your particular issue. The use of this technology also means that we won’t have to dig through your yard unless necessary.
Eliminate Lingering Odors With A Sewer Cleaning in Albany
After performing a sewer inspection, our team will most likely perform a cleaning. Our sewer cleaning in Albany is often enough to resolve most sewage issues. Depending on the severity of the obstructions in your lines, we may use an auger or a hydro jet to clear out any clogs.
An auger will remove most clogs, especially those near the drain entrance. However, if there are several clogs in your lines, especially grease clogs, our plumbers may need a hydro jet to clear them. Hydro-jetting is reserved only for the toughest clogs when sewer cleaning in Albany. A hydro jet is a machine that we use to push a pressurized stream of water through your lines to get rid of clogs too challenging for an auger.
Albany Sewer Repair Fixes Even Catastrophic Damage
A sewer cleaning is enough to address most sewer odor in Albany. However, the source of your sewer odor may stem from a larger problem. To make sure that it does not occur again, Streamline Plumbing may have to perform additional work. If your sewer odor is accompanied by any of the following:
- – Sewer Backups
- – Leaks and Floods
- – Water Pools On Your Lawn
- – Foul-Smelling Drain Lines
- – Sewer Odor Coming From Your Home
Then you may have more serious issues. Depending on the damage to your pipes, Streamline Plumbing may need to re-line your pipes using our trenchless Albany sewer repair services. Destroyed pipes, though, will need to be replaced.
Get Rid Of Busted Lines With An Albany Sewer Replacement
Our Albany sewer replacement services make sure that your sewer is not suffering from damaged or old lines. If possible, we will only replace the damaged section of your system. This way we will not have to perform or charge you for any unnecessary work. Unfortunately, this will not always be the case.
Once sewer lines reach a certain age, especially galvanized steel lines, they will begin to decay. Once this change starts to occur, it is best to replace your aging sewer system. Otherwise, you will need to continually pay for repairs that would cost you more than a complete Albany sewer replacement.

What Customers Say
★★★★★“Well [Streamline] were the second company I had out. I was very unhappy with the first company I had, they did a half of a job and didn’t even get permits, so I was very upset with them. Streamline came in and finished the job they started and did everything they said they would do with no hassle. I am very sorry I didn’t hire them first, they were very polite and showed up on time. I had no problems with them at all.”

Albany Sewer Repair FAQ
What are the signs that I need an Albany sewer repair?
Sewer odor that comes with backups, leaks, water pooling on the lawn or foul-smelling drains usually points to a problem in the line itself. A camera inspection shows what’s wrong and where before we recommend any work.
Will sewer cleaning in Albany fix my problem, or do I need a repair?
If the pipe is sound and the issue is a clog, cleaning with an auger or a hydro jet is often enough. If the camera shows cracks, separated joints or roots coming back through the same spot, cleaning only buys time and a repair is the lasting fix.
Do I need an EBMUD certificate after an Albany sewer repair?
Albany is part of the EBMUD regional Private Sewer Lateral program. A compliance certificate is required when you sell, change your water meter size, or build or remodel for more than $100,000. You can also get one voluntarily any time (EBMUD). A certificate is valid 7 years after a repair and 20 years after a full replacement (EBMUD guidelines). Our PSL compliance page explains the process.
Can an Albany sewer repair be done without digging up my yard?
Often, yes. The camera and pipe tracer pinpoint the damage so any digging happens in one spot, and damaged pipes can often be re-lined or replaced with trenchless methods: see Albany trenchless sewer replacement.
Who is responsible for the sewer line at my Albany home?
The private sewer lateral, from your building to the public sewer main, is the property owner’s responsibility. If you have a backup right now, call (510) 481-0380; we offer 24/7 emergency service.
