Start with the sewer plumbing service
A sewer lateral compliance enquiry can bring several questions together: the city, the certificate being discussed, and the plumbing work being requested. Our confirmed services are sewer camera inspection, sewer line repair, and sewer line replacement. This page gives you a contact for that plumbing work without presenting an inspection as a certificate or a repair as regulatory approval.
EBMUD context belongs to the correct city
EBMUD sewer lateral certificate context includes Alameda, Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville, Oakland, Piedmont, San Leandro, Richmond, El Cerrito, and Kensington. Among our eleven core service cities, Alameda, Oakland, and San Leandro appear in that list. Hayward does not appear in that list, so this page does not describe an EBMUD certificate requirement for Hayward.
What this page can confirm
Friendly Services performs sewer camera inspection and sewer line repair and replacement. Contact Friendly Services about camera inspection, repair, or replacement when discussing the plumbing part of a lateral enquiry. Certificate issuance, compliance testing, filing, deadlines, and city-specific triggers are outside the service details on this page. If your enquiry concerns a sewer lateral, you can call about the plumbing services while keeping certificate questions distinct from the work described on this page.
Local sewer experience and company credentials
Older East Bay homes can have clay or cast-iron sewer laterals; that context does not establish any individual line’s condition.

We carry $1M general liability coverage and workers’ compensation, with a five-year workmanship warranty on our own work.
