Water Main & Sewer Line Problems Require Accurate Diagnosis — Not Guesswork

Water main leaks, sewer line failures, and recurring backups can cause serious property damage and health hazards. Getting the diagnosis right the first time prevents unnecessary excavation, wasted money, and repeat service calls.

Wade's Plumbing & Septic uses camera sewer inspection and leak detection to identify the exact problem before recommending a repair. We've found root intrusion, deteriorated clay pipe, shifted joints, and collapsed lines throughout Santa Cruz County's varied soil conditions and older housing stock.

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★

“Had a recurring backup the other company couldn't fix. Wade's did a camera inspection, found a root intrusion that had been missed, and repaired it properly. No more backups in 6 months.”

★★★★★

“My water bill doubled and I had no idea why. Wade's found a main line leak under my driveway that I never would have found on my own. Saved me significant money in the long run.”

Common Questions

How do I know if it's a water main leak vs. a sewer issue?

Water main leaks often show as wet spots in the yard, unexplained spikes on your water bill, or loss of pressure. Sewer issues typically cause backups, odors, or slow drains throughout the house. We diagnose both accurately.

Can I schedule a camera inspection without committing to a repair?

Yes. A camera inspection is a diagnostic service. We show you what we find and present your repair options — there's no obligation to proceed with anything on the spot.

Do you offer trenchless sewer repair?

In some cases, yes — depending on pipe condition, material, and location. We assess each situation individually and explain which approach is most practical for your specific property.

How long does a camera inspection take?

Usually 30–60 minutes for a standard residential line. We walk you through what we see in real time and give you a written summary of findings.
