Rick Valley and Valley Sewer Maintenance bring decades of hands-on expertise to every job — residential, commercial, and municipal. Owner-operated.
High-pressure water jetting — up to 3,000 PSI — scours sewer lines, grease traps, storm drains, and lateral pipes clean of grease, mineral scale, tree roots, and compacted debris. Restores full pipe capacity without excavation.
From main sewer lines and lateral pipes to commercial cleanouts and municipal drain systems, VSM clears blockages and restores flow for residential, commercial, and municipal clients — no mess, no guesswork.
Invasive root systems are a leading cause of sewer line failures. VSM uses mechanical cutting and targeted hydro-jetting to remove root intrusions before they crack, displace, or collapse your pipes.
Wet wells, pump stations, and lift stations require regular cleaning and inspection to prevent pump failure and SSO events. VSM provides complete lift station maintenance for municipalities and commercial operators throughout the Bay Area.
Full-service, self-performed traffic control for any sewer or drain project requiring lane closures, street-side operations, or flagging. No subcontracting needed — VSM is independently equipped and MUTCD-compliant.
Active sewer backups and SSO events can't wait. Valley Sewer Maintenance provides rapid-response emergency service across the South Bay and Peninsula, day or night — including SSO mitigation and containment.
In the South Bay and across the Peninsula, the name Rick Valley is synonymous with the highest standard of sewer maintenance. With more than two decades of field experience, Rick has built a reputation on reliability, precision, and an uncompromising commitment to getting every job done right the first time.
Valley Sewer Maintenance provides the full spectrum of wastewater infrastructure services: hydro-jetting, drain cleaning, root removal, lift station cleaning, and emergency stoppage response (SSO mitigation), with plans to provide CCTV inspection and more in the near future. The team is also fully equipped to deliver traffic control for any project requiring lane closures or street-side operations — a capability that sets VSM apart from single-trade contractors.
Every member of our team at Valley Sewer Maintenance is more than just a trained wastewater professional — they're committed to going above and beyond to deliver a level of service that can't be found anywhere else. The result is an incomparable combination of scope, technical ability, and hands-on quality now available to municipal agencies, commercial property managers, and homeowners throughout the South Bay and Peninsula.

Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water — up to 3,000 PSI — to scour the interior of sewer and drain pipes, removing grease, mineral scale, tree roots, and debris that conventional snaking cannot clear. It's the right call for recurring clogs, slow drains, root intrusion, grease buildup in commercial kitchen lines, and preventive maintenance on aging infrastructure.
VSM is a dedicated sewer and drain service provider — not a general plumber. Owner Rick Valley has over 20 years of specialized experience in hydro-jetting, lift station cleaning, root removal, SSO mitigation, and municipal-grade wastewater infrastructure. VSM is also independently equipped for traffic control on any job requiring lane closures — something most plumbers cannot self-perform.
Yes. We serve residential homeowners, commercial property managers, and municipal agencies throughout the South Bay and Peninsula. Our team is experienced with lift station cleaning, SSO response contracts, and large-scale drain maintenance programs.
