Pipe Spy

Pipe Spy is an engineering plumbing contractor specializing in trenchless sewer line repair and replacement. Since 1998, we have provided the East Bay Area and Oakland with expert plumbing service backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.

We've been using trenchless technology for sewer replacement since it was first available to the Bay Area - in fact, Pipe Spy was the first plumbing company to use it here. Pipe Spy is a licensed California Contractor for both General Plumbing (Class C36) and General Engineering (Class A), which enables us to provide the best Engineered Plumbing Solutions for your sewer pipeline. Pipe Spy is a recipient of the Chrysalis Award for Remodeling Excellence, and is a preferred sewer contractor for the Cities of Oakland and Berkeley.

Many East Bay homes were built with a steel pipe supply from the water meter to the fixtures in your home, and those small pipes are still in place today. Pipe Spy can help you upgrade your water lines to get the right volume and pressure to your plumbing fixtures. Interior plumbing changes are often a part of home remodels, so your need for plumbing services and water delivery to the existing or new fixtures may have changed. When remodeling, a new water service line might be the right solution for you.

Pipe Spy conducts sewer camera inspections across the Bay Area that provide you and our team with the most knowledge of your underground sewer drain lines, sewer pipes and plumbing systems. A typical sewer camera inspection costs $150 for a residential sewer lateral inspection, and most video inspections are completed within one hour (sewer line inspection cost varies if more time is required). The $150 fee includes all set-up, inspection and clean-up time, and time for you to talk to our knowledgeable service technician and get direct answers to your plumbing concerns.

Pipe Spy understands what it takes to test and repair commercial property sewer and drain lines. If work needs to be done after hours of normal operations, we can accommodate you. If your building works 24/7 and needs a by-pass set up pump system, call us. When compliance for your commercial property sale needs to happen and you have a large size building drain to test, we are your crew. We provide maintenance service for many local restaurant drains to keep them operational. Pipe Spy installs EBMUD-approved grease interceptors, and repairs worn out drain lines.

Our CLSB licensing proves the depth of our technical skills. We apply our advanced engineering and plumbing capabilities to every job we do. Pipe Spy has been licensed and insured since 1998. We encourage you to always work with a licensed contractor and to review their work history - please review the Pipe Spy Contractor history on the CLSB website. Pipe Spy is proud to be recognized for our exceptional customer satisfaction and professionalism by the Diamond Certified organization. Please view our Diamond Certified Capabilities Profile.
