Palo Alto's Drain & Sewer
Specialists
Palo Alto is one of the most prestigious addresses in Silicon Valley, with a historic downtown and residential neighborhoods spanning from 1890s Victorian construction in Professorville and Old Palo Alto to mid-century Eichler homes in Green Gables and newer construction near Stanford Research Park. The oldest neighborhoods — Professorville, Old Palo Alto, and Crescent Park — have vitrified clay and cast iron sewer laterals from the 1890s–1930s now 90–130 years old. Palo Alto's mature tree canopy, including its famous Canopy of Trees along Embarcadero Road, is one of the most significant root intrusion sources in Santa Clara County. Pre-sale sewer camera inspection is essentially standard practice in Palo Alto's premium real estate market.

We Know Palo Alto
Drain Systems
Palo Alto has some of the oldest residential sewer infrastructure in Santa Clara County. Professorville and Old Palo Alto have vitrified clay from the 1890s–1910s still nominally in service — 110–130 years past installation. Palo Alto's exceptional tree canopy creates year-round root intrusion pressure. The city's $3M+ median home prices make proactive sewer lateral replacement a financially rational decision at any stage of ownership.

What is actually in the ground in Palo Alto
Palo Alto has some of the oldest residential sewer infrastructure in Santa Clara County.
Roots in Downtown and Old Palo Alto
Mature trees in Downtown and Old Palo Alto treat clay and cast iron joints as a water source. If a cable truck has already been to this Palo Alto house once, the roots will be back. Jetting plus a liner, or a new lateral, is the lasting fix.
More than one slow fixture
A single sink in Palo Alto is a trap. Two bathrooms and the kitchen slowing together usually means the shared lateral, not three separate clogs.
Lush stripe in the yard
A bright green strip over the sewer run in Palo Alto is often a leak feeding the lawn. Common on raised-foundation lots around Downtown and Old Palo Alto.
Sale or refinance in Palo Alto
Buyers and title companies in Santa Clara County now ask for a current lateral video. An old disc from a previous listing does not clear a Palo Alto 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 Palo Alto the camera is the cheap way to know which one before anyone opens the yard.
