What to expect when you work with the Pipe Spy team:

1. Premium quality work

Since 1998, the team at Pipe Spy has solved problems other plumbers can’t.

For example, we were early advocates of and assisted in an advisory capacity around local permitting laws bringing the trenchless sewer replacement method to Bay Area communities; and since then we have become one of California’s leading trenchless sewer replacement experts. Our top-of-the-line video inspection coupled with traditional sewer repair services, provides our customers with the highest-quality suite of plumbing and sewage services you’ll find in the area.

In fact, we are so confident in our work that we offer a Flush with Confidence© Warranty for three full years. If any of our work was incorrect, we’ll respond promptly to fix it. Guaranteed.
