Echo Plumbing recently completed a sewer lateral replacement in Concord, CA, using open trench excavation to replace an aging and damaged sewer line. This project highlights our commitment to reliable, code-compliant work and long-term solutions for East Bay homeowners.

The Problem

The homeowner contacted us after experiencing frequent drain backups and strong sewer odors around the property. A camera inspection revealed severe cracks, root intrusion, and misaligned joints in the original clay pipe—typical signs of a failing sewer lateral.

Our Solution

Our crew performed a full sewer line replacement using open trench methods. We carefully excavated the yard, removed the broken clay pipe, and installed a new, high-performance ABS lateral pipe with proper slope and cleanout access.

We handled:

Permit coordination with the City of Concord
Inspection scheduling
Site cleanup and restoration

The result? A worry-free sewer system that meets current city plumbing codes and protects the property from future backups.
