Martinez's Drain & Sewer
Specialists

Martinez is the Contra Costa County seat and one of its oldest cities, with a historic waterfront downtown dating to the 1870s. The downtown core and Waterfront neighborhoods have the oldest sewer infrastructure in the county — vitrified clay and cast iron laterals from the 1880s–1920s now 100–140 years old. The Alhambra Valley and Vine Hill neighborhoods developed in the 1940s–60s. Martinez's historic commercial and residential downtown, its role as county seat, and its aging water table-adjacent infrastructure make it one of the most urgent drain and sewer service markets in Contra Costa County.

What is actually in the ground in Martinez

Martinez has the oldest sewer infrastructure in Contra Costa County.

Roots in Downtown and Alhambra Valley

Mature trees in Downtown and Alhambra Valley treat clay and cast iron joints as a water source. If a cable truck has already been to this Martinez house once, the roots will be back. Jetting plus a liner, or a new lateral, is the lasting fix.

Backups when it rains

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

High water table

Martinez sits where groundwater stays in contact with the lateral. Outside-in infiltration ovalizes clay and rusts cast iron from the soil side. Jetting a round pipe helps. Jetting a collapsed one does not.

Sale or refinance in Martinez

Buyers and title companies in Contra Costa County now ask for a current lateral video. An old disc from a previous listing does not clear a Martinez escrow. We shoot to the current city spec.

Sewer smell at a floor drain

A dry trap or a cracked lateral letting gas back. In Martinez the camera is the cheap way to know which one before anyone opens the yard.

Trenchless when the line allows

Pipe bursting and lining keep Martinez driveways and trees in the ground when the host pipe is still round. If the camera shows a collapse or a belly, we say so and quote the repair that actually fits.

Permits with Martinez
