Sewer Leak Detection & Broken Pipe Cleanup in Santa Cruz

One of the worst things you can experience as a homeowner is a sewer backup. The most common causes of a sewer backup are clogged or cracked sewer pipes, tree roots growing in sewer pipes, and sump pumps routed into sewers. The obstruction prevents wastewater from flowing through the sewer line and causes them to fill up until the sewage eventually overflows posing a significant health risk to human and pets, as it likely to contain mold, parasites, viruses, and bacteria.

All our Santa Cruz technicians are fully trained in EPA, IICRC and California Housing Microbial Remediation Guidelines. All sewage clean up and decontamination services are directed by a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) and Certified Environmental Infection Control Remediator (CEICR).


Prevent Mold Before It Starts!

Mold can begin to develop within 24 to 48 hours after water damage occurs. Fast response, proper drying, and thorough cleanup can help reduce the risk of mold growth and protect both your property and indoor environment. Our service area includes Santa Cruz County and surrounding communities.
