Martinez's Sewer Line
Specialists
Martinez is Contra Costa County's oldest city, incorporated in 1876, and it has the county's oldest residential sewer infrastructure to match. The downtown historic district and waterfront neighborhoods contain homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s with original clay sewer pipe now over 100 years old. Surrounding residential areas built during and after World War II used Orangeburg pipe that is now 65–80 years old. Martinez homeowners have a higher likelihood of facing critical sewer failures than residents of any other city in the county — and a paid camera inspection is the most important first step.
Repipe Champions specializes exclusively in pipe replacement, including full sewer line repipe and trenchless CIPP lining. We serve every Martinez neighborhood with paid camera inspections, same-day estimates, and next-day scheduling available.
Every sewer project we complete is permitted, city-inspected, and backed by our 30-year parts and labor warranty. We handle all permitting through the City of Martinez Building Division on your behalf.

Contra Costa County homes have two paths to a fully restored sewer line. We assess both options at every free estimate and recommend the most cost-effective solution for your specific situation.
Sewer Line Repipe
Full excavation and replacement of your existing sewer line with new Schedule 40 PVC pipe. The most durable, longest-lasting solution, particularly for severely deteriorated or root-damaged lines.
Trenchless Sewer Lining
A cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liner is inserted and expanded inside your existing sewer line, creating a seamless new pipe within the old one, without digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping.
Does Your Martinez Home
Need Sewer Work?
These are the most common signs of a failing sewer line in Contra Costa County homes.
Slow Drains Throughout
When multiple drains in your home run slow simultaneously, the problem is almost always in the main sewer line, not individual fixtures.
Sewage Backups
Raw sewage backing up into your tub, shower, or lowest fixtures is a sign of a blocked or failed sewer line requiring immediate attention.
Unusually Green Lawn
A strip of exceptionally green or lush grass over your sewer line is a classic sign of a slow leak: the sewage is fertilizing the soil above.
Sewage Odors
Persistent sewage smell in your yard or home often indicates a crack or separation in the sewer line allowing gas to escape.
Root Intrusion
Tree and shrub roots naturally seek moisture and nutrients in sewer lines. Once roots enter, they grow rapidly and can cause complete blockage.
Home Built Before 1980
If your Martinez home was built before 1980 and has never had a sewer camera inspection, scheduling one is a prudent first step regardless of symptoms.
We Know Martinez
Sewer Systems
Martinez is the oldest city in Contra Costa County and the county seat, with residential neighborhoods dating to the 1880s and 1890s. The downtown area has homes and sewer lines from the early 1900s — original clay or cast iron pipe now over 100 years old. The neighborhoods built after World War II used Orangeburg and clay pipe that is 65–80 years old. Martinez has more critically aged sewer infrastructure per capita than any other city in the county.
🏗️ Martinez Sewer Pipe Context
Martinez's age profile is unique in Contra Costa County. The downtown and waterfront neighborhoods have the oldest sewer pipe in the county — some original clay lines from the early 1900s still in service. Even the postwar neighborhoods are among the oldest in the region. Any Martinez home that has not had a recent sewer camera inspection should prioritize one.

Martinez Sewer Permit
Requirements
A permit is required for all sewer line work in Martinez. Unpermitted sewer work creates serious liability at resale and can void homeowner insurance coverage for related water damage.
