Residential Sewer Inspections for San Francisco Homes
Grease & Debris Buildup
Over time, layers of grease and debris accumulate inside your sewer lines. Each rinse of a dish or flush of soapy water leaves behind residue that clings to the pipe walls. With sewer camera inspections, we can pinpoint where these buildups are forming before they cause major clogs.
Tree Root Intrusions
Roots naturally seek out moisture, often sneaking into small cracks or loose pipe joints. Once inside, they expand, blocking flow and damaging the line. Early detection with a sewer inspection helps stop root growth before it becomes a costly repair.
Pipe Shifting & Collapsing
San Francisco’s seismic activity and shifting soil can misalign pipes or cause full collapses. Even small cracks or gaps lead to leaks, backups, and structural issues. Our sewer inspections identify these weak spots so we can recommend the right repair or replacement solutions.
Aging Infrastructure
Many local homes still rely on sewer lines built decades ago with clay, cast iron, or other outdated materials. These lines are prone to corrosion, cracking, and eventual failure. Our technicians can locate vulnerable sections and help plan proactive repairs or replacements to protect your home.

Expert Sewer Inspections for San Francisco’s Commercial Properties
High-Capacity Sewer Systems
Commercial sewer lines handle significantly higher volumes of wastewater compared to residential systems. Hotels, office buildings, and shopping centers push thousands of gallons through their pipes daily. With advanced sewer inspection cameras, we can thoroughly inspect your entire system—without interrupting your business operations.
Frequent Blockages in Restaurants & Food Establishments
Even with grease traps in place, fats, oils, and food particles often find their way into the sewer lines. Our video inspections provide a detailed view inside the pipes, helping us locate and address grease buildup or food-related blockages before they escalate.
Plumbing Code Compliance
Commercial properties are held to strict local plumbing standards, and failing to comply can result in penalties or costly downtime. Our inspections evaluate pipe conditions, flow capacity, and potential violations to keep your property fully compliant.
Heavy-Duty Wear & Tear
With constant high-volume use, exposure to cleaning chemicals, and the sheer scale of operation, commercial sewer systems wear out much faster than residential ones. Regular inspections from HydroWorks Plumbing allow us to spot early signs of damage, recommend targeted repairs, and extend the lifespan of your sewer infrastructure.
