R J CARROLL & Sons Plumbing has proudly served Santa Barbara since 1931. As the oldest family owned and operated plumbing company in Santa Barbara, we are trusted for honest pricing, quality workmanship, and exceptional customer service. If ground squirrels around your property are contributing to plumbing, sewer, drain, or underground pipe problems, our experienced team is here to help identify the issue and provide reliable solutions.
Ground squirrels can create serious problems for residential and commercial properties. Their burrowing activity may affect soil stability around water lines, sewer lines, drain lines, and underground plumbing systems. In Santa Barbara, property owners often discover the damage only after noticing slow drains, foul odors, unexplained wet areas, leaks, or sewer line issues. When that happens, you need a trusted local company with decades of experience.

Video Inspection and Leak Detection for Hidden Underground Problems
Ground squirrel burrows can make it difficult to know exactly where a problem begins. That is why we offer video sewer lateral inspection, electronic leak detection, and pipe locating services. These tools help us find damaged sections of pipe, identify blockages, and determine whether repairs or replacement are needed.
By pinpointing the issue, we can often save you time and help prevent unnecessary digging or disruption to your property.
If burrowing activity has contributed to shifting soil, debris intrusion, or drainage issues, our hydro-jetting and sewer & drain line cleaning services can help restore flow. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to clear out buildup, grease, roots, and debris from sewer and drain lines.
This is an effective solution for many properties experiencing repeated backups or restricted drainage.
When underground plumbing damage is more severe, we provide expert sewer repair and replacement services. In many cases, trenchless sewer replacement may be an option, reducing the impact on landscaping, driveways, and other property features.
Our experienced technicians will explain your options and recommend the most practical, cost-effective solution for your situation.
