Pipe Spy Engineer

Sewer lateral replacement, camera inspection and sewer line diagnostics are the Pipe Spy specialties. Visual (above the ground) estimates are free; CCTV camera inspections of the sewer lateral are $150. We can serve all your plumbing needs, including repairs and maintenance. We are experienced with all aspects of Bay Area sewer lateral compliance for homeowners and commercial property owners.

The Pipe Spy team values Competence in Action - which means professional excellence and service to you.

Two local plumbing contractors were early adopters of new trenchless technology, which cuts the cost of sewer lateral replacement by one third to one half of the traditional method of trenching. We merged our plumbing companies and Pipe Spy was formed. We introduced and trained the East Bay city inspectors to the new technology and helped gain approval of the technology from the sanitary districts, thus saving property owners thousands of dollars.

Pipe Spy continues to serve our customers today by providing value, service excellence and cost savings. Most of Pipe Spy's skilled and loyal crew members have been with the company for over 5 years, some as many as 15 years! We aim to build on our history of success so we can continue to provide this Pipe Spy Advantage to our customers.
