A Kensington Sewer Inspection Helps Determine Problems
Before Streamline Plumbing begins any sewer repair in Kensington, we must perform an exhaustive inspection of your sewer lines. Our team employs a closed-circuit television system attached to a drain camera to carry out a Kensington sewer inspection. This setup allows us to remotely examine your lines’ condition and determine the best course of action for your particular issue. The use of this technology also means that we won’t have to dig through your yard unless necessary.
A Sewer Cleaning in Kensington Is The First Step Towards Repair
After performing a sewer inspection, our team will most likely perform a cleaning. Our sewer cleaning in Kensington 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 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. 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.
Hydro-jetting is reserved only for the toughest clogs when sewer cleaning in Kensington.
Kensington Sewer Repair
A sewer cleaning is enough to address most sewer odors in Kensington. 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 any of the following accompanies your sewer odor:
- 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 Kensington sewer repair services. Destroyed pipes, though, will need to be replaced.
Kensington Sewer Replacement Services For Busted Lines
Our Kensington 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 Kensington sewer replacement.

What Customers Say
★★★★★“The people at [Streamline] are just awesome. They are always on time, they are very accommodating and professional. […] I am a real estate broker and I needed them to repair a sewer lateral. Well, they ended up having to move the connection to the outside instead of underneath the house. They took care of it like it was nothing. The service is just outstanding!!”

Kensington Sewer Repair FAQ
How can I tell if my Kensington sewer line needs repair?
A sewer odor that returns after cleaning, backups, water pooling on the lawn or foul-smelling drains usually mean the line itself is damaged. A camera inspection shows where and what the problem is before we recommend a repair.
Who pays for a Kensington sewer lateral repair?
The property owner is responsible for the private sewer lateral. Kensington is served by the Stege Sanitary District, which is part of the EBMUD regional PSL program, so a compliance certificate is also needed when you sell, remodel for more than $100,000 or change your water meter size (EBMUD). See Kensington PSL compliance.
Will a Kensington sewer repair mean digging up my garden?
Not necessarily. The camera pinpoints the damage, so a spot repair only opens the ground where it is needed, and trenchless lining or pipe bursting works from small access holes. See Kensington trenchless sewer repair.
Should I repair or replace my Kensington sewer line?
One damaged section with sound pipe on either side is usually a spot repair. When old pipe is failing along its length, a full Kensington sewer replacement costs less over time than repeated repairs, and we show you the footage so you can see why.
Is 24/7 emergency sewer repair available in Kensington?
Yes. Call (510) 481-0380 day or night if sewage is backing up.
