Richmond's Drain & Sewer
Specialists
Richmond is one of Contra Costa County's oldest cities, with a significant portion of its housing stock dating from the World War II Kaiser Shipyards construction boom of 1940–1944. Atchison Village, the Iron Triangle, and Point Richmond have the oldest infrastructure, with cast iron and Orangeburg sewer pipe from the 1940s now 80+ years old. Richmond's Bay-adjacent location creates persistent moisture and salt air conditions that accelerate external cast iron corrosion. Orangeburg pipe — a pressed paper/tar composite used heavily in wartime construction — has a service life of 50 years and is now severely deteriorated in many Richmond homes.

We Know Richmond
Drain Systems
Richmond has the highest concentration of Orangeburg sewer pipe in Contra Costa County. This wartime-era pressed paper/tar composite pipe was installed throughout the 1940s shipyard worker housing developments and has a nominal 50-year service life — meaning it is now 30+ years past end of life in most Richmond neighborhoods. Bay moisture and salt air accelerate the collapse of Orangeburg pipe that is already failing from age alone.

What is actually in the ground in Richmond
Richmond has the highest concentration of Orangeburg sewer pipe in Contra Costa County.
Repeat cable visits
If Richmond has already had a cable-only visit this year, the blockage is in a joint or a belly, not a wad of paper. We camera it so the next truck is a repair, not another subscription.
Backups when it rains
Richmond 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.
Lush stripe in the yard
A bright green strip over the sewer run in Richmond is often a leak feeding the lawn. Common on raised-foundation lots around Point Richmond and Iron Triangle.
Sale or refinance in Richmond
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 Richmond 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 Richmond the camera is the cheap way to know which one before anyone opens the yard.
