Marlon and team came initially for a snake cam inspection due to sewer stoppage under the crawlspace and found major cast iron pipe under the house was severely corroded and leaking in the crawlspace. A whole section of cast iron pipe was taken out and replaced with modern ABS piping. However down the line there was clay pipe that was also flooded. This damn house was build in 1955 and perhaps older sewer pipes with pre-existing foundation on an older home prior. After a sewer clean-out built for further cleaning and inspection, multiple spots along the clay pipe had root intrusion causing sewer accumulation and stoppage. Since spot repairs will not solve a near-century old problem as earth movement and tree roots will further compromise the clay pipe, a trench-less repiping was deployed from under the house to the sewer main to get rid of any cast iron and clay pipe, as it's been at least 70 years since the sewer pipe had any service or upgrade. An 20-ft epoxy prepared line pulled with pressured air pump was done from the new clean-out outside to the section under the patio and house. Then a trench-less pipe bursting shoved a 50ft+ ABS pipe all the way to the sewer main. The team worked diligently everyday during the stormy days to get the job done, except one day during the epoxy curing followed by a mother of all storm when weather god had a bad Valentine's date. Empathy was practiced to make sure we had least inconvenience. Thanks to Marlon for his friendliness that came a long way. And George who took the time to explain the finer detail to make sure things were well taken cared of. I came to experience how the backyard soil became soft enough to dig holes on a few occasions but short of any Shawshank redemption escape experience along the sewer trench. Works Plumbing took care of the rest from the initial phone answering, organized communication, hard-work team effort, to reseating the toilet and caulking that was better than it was first installed. Great job to all. Well, it ain't cheap, but a clean sewer will save sanity for ages to come. Cast iron and clay pipe suck, don't let them ruin your shower, kitchen, and bathroom experience. Let Works Plumbing take care of them for you along the coastside from SF to Half Moon Bay.

I couldn’t be happier with the work done by Jorge and his crew from Works Plumbing. From the very beginning, Jorge stood out—he responded to my request immediately and was ready to get started without delay.
The entire process was smooth and well-managed, even when unexpected challenges came up, such as thicker-than-expected concrete and very limited space to access the pipe. Despite these obstacles, the team handled everything efficiently and professionally, clearly demonstrating their expertise.
What impressed me most was their attention to detail and commitment to customer service. We received all documentation promptly, and the crew made sure to leave the work area spotless when they finished.
It’s rare to come across a team this reliable, skilled, and dedicated. Jorge and his crew were not only professional and knowledgeable, but also friendly and willing to go above and beyond. Honestly, this is some of the best service I’ve ever experienced. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-quality plumbing work.
