Portola Valley's Drain & Sewer
Specialists

Portola Valley is a quiet, rural community nestled in the western foothills of the Peninsula — home to horse properties, expansive lots, and custom homes surrounded by nature. The Westridge and Blue Oaks neighborhoods have homes from the 1950s–1970s with original cast iron drain infrastructure now 50–75 years old. Portola Valley's hillside terrain, mature oak woodlands, and large lots create unique drain challenges including longer lateral runs, root intrusion from native trees, and ground movement on hillside slopes. Camera inspection and trenchless methods are particularly valuable in this community.

Portola Valley's Westridge and Blue Oaks neighborhoods have cast iron from the 1950s-70s now 50-75 years old.

Roots in Central Portola Valley and Westridge

Backups when it rains

Portola Valley laterals take on groundwater through cracked joints. The first storm of the year is when many San Mateo County homeowners find out. A camera in dry weather is cheaper than a Sunday sewage backup.
