Your home’s sewer line is one of the most important parts of your plumbing system—responsible for safely transporting wastewater away from your home. When problems occur, they can disrupt your daily life and lead to costly damage. That’s why it’s essential to work with a reliable plumbing company that understands how to handle sewer systems with expertise and care.
Sewer Services From Ongaro & Sons Since 1932
At Ongaro & Sons, we offer comprehensive sewer services throughout Marin, Sonoma, and Napa counties, as well as neighboring Northern California communities. Whether you’re dealing with a damaged line, planning to sell your home, or need a routine inspection, our certified plumbing professionals are here to help.

Sewer Line Inspections for Home Sales
If you’re buying or selling a home, a sewer line inspection is a smart investment. Sewer problems aren’t always visible during a standard home inspection, but if left undetected, they can lead to major repair bills.
Our plumbers use advanced video camera equipment to inspect your home’s sewer line from the inside. We look for issues such as cracks, root intrusions, corrosion, or sagging pipes (known as bellies). With a detailed report and video footage, we give you peace of mind before closing day.
Why schedule a sewer inspection before a home sale?
- Avoid unexpected repairs after purchase
- Provide buyers with transparent documentation
- Help sellers price their homes appropriately
Sewer Line Repair
Not all sewer problems require full replacement. Our licensed plumbers are equipped to perform fast, cost-effective sewer line repairs for issues such as joint leaks, small cracks, or partial clogs.
We use precision diagnostics to pinpoint the exact location and cause of the problem. Then, we apply the right repair strategy, whether it’s patching, relining, or replacing a damaged section.
Our sewer repair process includes:
- Video camera diagnostics
- Minimal digging with trenchless technology (when applicable)
- High-quality materials and expert craftsmanship
Sewer Line Replacement
Some sewer lines are beyond repair due to age, corrosion, or extensive damage. In those cases, sewer line replacement is the safest and most effective solution.
We offer both traditional and trenchless replacement methods, depending on the condition of your system and the layout of your property. Our trenchless options minimize disruption to your yard, driveway, and landscaping while providing a durable, long-term fix.
Signs you may need sewer line replacement:
- Frequent clogs or slow drains
- Persistent sewer odors around your home
- Wet, sunken patches in your yard
- Cracked or collapsed pipe sections
