Your sewer system is one of the most important parts of your home or business’s infrastructure. It’s something you don’t think about until something goes wrong — but when it goes wrong, it can be disastrous.
Sewer services are usually big projects, so make sure you are hiring plumbers from Marin and Sonoma Counties’ most trusted plumbing company — Gotelli Plumbing.

Unlike some other common home maintenance problems, knowing when you need sewer system services can be painfully obvious. Here are some top signs that indicate the need for sewer repair:
If you observe any of these signs, it’s important to contact a professional plumber or sewer repair specialist to assess the situation and carry out necessary repairs. Ignoring sewer issues can lead to further damage and potential health hazards.
Sewer camera inspection is a valuable tool used in plumbing diagnostics and maintenance. By inserting a specialized waterproof camera into the sewer line, our plumbers can visually assess the condition of the pipes and identify any issues or obstructions.
The camera provides real-time high-definition footage, allowing professionals to pinpoint the exact location and nature of problems such as clogs, cracks root intrusions, or collapsed pipes.
This non-invasive technique saves time, reduces unnecessary digging and enables targeted repairs. Let Gotelli get to the bottom of your sewer repairs in no time!

In most cases, you are. The sanitary district owns the main in the street, but the lateral running from your home to that main is private property, and maintaining or replacing it falls to the owner.
In a number of Marin and Sonoma districts, that responsibility extends all the way to the main, including the portion beneath the street. Exactly where your responsibility ends depends on which district serves your address, and it’s worth confirming before work begins.
In parts of Marin and Sonoma, yes. Several local districts require proof that the lateral is sound when a property changes hands, and some also trigger an inspection after remodeling work above a certain value. Requirements differ from district to district, so the answer depends on your address. If you’re preparing to list, this is worth sorting out early — it’s a common source of last-minute delays at closing.
Not usually. Roots don’t break into a sound pipe — they find an existing crack or a failing joint and grow toward the moisture. Cutting them out restores flow, but the opening that let them in is still there, so they tend to return. A camera inspection after clearing shows whether you’re dealing with a maintenance item or a pipe that needs repair.
Not always, and rarely as much as people expect. Locating the problem precisely with a camera first means any excavation is targeted to the failure rather than the whole run of pipe. Once we know what we’re dealing with, we’ll walk you through what the work involves and what your property will look like afterward before anything starts.
