Express Sewer & Drain is Sacramento’s foremost authority for utility location, which is crucial, whether you are in charge of a city’s sewer and water or you own a home. It can be more than a simple inconvenience when careless plumbing companies ravage local utility lines.

Likewise, if you’re a homeowner and you are forced to repair your sewer, if the company you hire doesn’t understand how to properly locate utility lines, you – and your angry neighbors – might face days before services are restored.
