Professorville, Crescent Park, and all surrounding neighborhoods trust us for fast, licensed plumbing work with no hidden fees.
Trusted Plumbing Company Serving the South Bay Area
Palo Alto homes are especially affected by century-old galvanized and lead pipes in Stanford-area historic homes. Palo Alto Utilities sources water that, in older unlined pipes, can pick up rust and sediment — a key reason why professional assessment and quality service matters.
Plumb Right Repipe & Rooter specializes in sewer line spot repair, pipe lining, and trenchless restoration using trenchless pipe lining (CIPP), pipe bursting equipment, and HD camera systems built for long-term reliability. Every job includes a 2-year warranty on all sewer repair work and a promise to complete work correctly the first time.
Whether you’re in Professorville, South Palo Alto, or anywhere across Palo Alto, our licensed team is ready to help.

Get answers to common questions about our sewer repair services in Palo Alto.
Warning signs include sewage odors in your yard or home, multiple slow drains throughout the house, gurgling toilets when you run water elsewhere, water backing up into your tub or shower drain, and wet or unusually green patches in your lawn above the sewer line. If you’re seeing any of these, call us for a camera inspection before the problem worsens.
A spot repair addresses a single damaged section of pipe — a crack, joint failure, or isolated root intrusion. It’s faster and less expensive than full replacement and is the right choice when the rest of the line is in good condition. We only recommend full replacement when the camera shows widespread deterioration that makes multiple spot repairs uneconomical.
Yes. Both CIPP lining (which coats the interior of the existing pipe) and pipe bursting (which fractures the old pipe and pulls new pipe through) are available in Palo Alto. Trenchless methods are faster, less expensive, and avoid destroying landscaping and driveways. Eligibility depends on pipe condition and access — we’ll confirm during the camera inspection.
The main causes in Palo Alto are root intrusion from mature trees, ground shifting from clay soil expansion and contraction, pipe age and material (clay tile pipes common in pre-1970 homes are brittle), corrosion in cast iron pipes, and physical damage from construction activity. Palo Alto’s 1910s through 1960s housing stock often has original sewer laterals still in service.
A simple spot repair is typically completed in 4–6 hours. CIPP lining takes 6–8 hours plus curing time. Pipe bursting is usually a full day. We’ll give you an accurate schedule after the camera inspection, and we work to minimize the time your plumbing is out of service.
