The Sewer Inspection & Repair Experts
A problematic sewer system can cause issues throughout your home. From toilets that back up to sewage smells, exposure to dangerous gasses, and damage to your landscape, a cracked or clogged sewer system can cause a lot of trouble that go beyond typical plumbing problems.
The good news is that our team makes it easy to inspect, maintain, and if necessary, replace your sewer system. Our high definition sewer cameras can reach deep into your sewer lateral to spot clogs, leaks, and other signs of damage. This minimally invasive service can typically be performed in only an hour or two, and it gives you valuable insights into the health of your plumbing system.
If your sewer system is beyond repair, our team also excels at trenchless sewer replacement. Our equipment allows us to install a new sewer line inside your old, damaged line that then expands to fill the space. The result is a new, trouble-free sewer line that doesn’t require massive disruption to your landscaping and daily life.

Professional Drain Cleaning in Milpitas
A slow or clogged drain can quickly turn into a major plumbing problem if left untreated. Whether you’re dealing with a backed-up kitchen sink, a slow-draining shower, or a main sewer line blockage, Smart Choice Plumbing provides professional drain cleaning services for homeowners throughout Milpitas. Our experienced plumbers use advanced equipment, including sewer line inspections, to identify the source of the clog and restore proper drainage as quickly as possible.
Drain clogs often develop gradually as grease, soap residue, food waste, hair, and mineral deposits build up inside your pipes. In many cases, invasive tree roots or damaged sewer lines can also restrict water flow and lead to recurring backups. If we discover a more serious issue during our inspection, we also provide professional sewer repair services to restore your plumbing system and prevent future problems.
Our drain cleaning services include:
- Kitchen sink drain cleaning
- Bathroom sink, tub, and shower drain cleaning
- Toilet drain clearing
- Main sewer line cleaning
- Sewer line inspections
- Hydro jetting for stubborn blockages
- Tree root removal
- Preventative drain maintenance
If you’ve noticed slow drains, foul odors, gurgling pipes, or frequent backups, don’t wait for the problem to get worse. Our drain cleaning specialists proudly serve homeowners throughout Milpitas with fast, reliable solutions that restore proper flow and help prevent costly plumbing repairs. If your clogged drain is causing an urgent backup or overflow, our 24/7 emergency plumbing services are just a phone call away.

5 Essential Plumbing Tools You Should Always Have on Hand
For the most part, we discourage DIY plumbing because there are so many mistakes that can be made and disasters that can be created. However, there are some jobs that you can do yourself, without the help of a plumbing company.
- Duct tape: Duct tape shouldn’t be considered a fix, but a temporary solution to control things until we arrive. Duct tape can block off water and seal a leak until we can get there to fix it. This at least keeps your room from flooding.
- A plunger: We’ve all been there – a toilet that won’t flush and creates a momentary panic. Have a plunger in every bathroom. While you’re at it, make sure you have a clean cup plunger ready to other sinks and water fixtures.
- A snake and an auger: Use with caution. We recommend you have both of these tools to deal with clogs a plunger can’t get. However, don’t be over zealous or you’ll damage your toilet, pipes, or fixture.
- A pipe wrench: The tool to use when dealing with pipes. You likely won’t use this one much as a DIYer, but it’s important to have if you need it.
- An adjustable wrench: This is a powerhouse of a tool that can help you tighten and loosen nuts and bolts that you’ll find in plumbing.
Basic Plumbing Knowledge You Should Have
We love helping you with your plumbing needs, whether it be an emergency or not. Still, you should be prepared by knowing a few key things about the plumbing inside your home:
- Know where you water main is to shut off the water
- Know where the supply valves are to each fixture so you can turn off the water at that appliance or fixture only.
- Know the things you should never flush down your toilet.
If you don’t know these things, ask our team when we come to your home to do your next repair or installation.
The good news is that, if you are dealing with a plumbing emergency, help is never far away. If you need emergency plumbing services to deal with a backed up toilet, a leaking water heater, or a clogged sewer line, we are available 24 hours a day to come to the rescue.
