Comprehensive Sewer Line Services

Everything Your Sewer System Needs
Our sewer repair service covers every aspect of your system, from emergency drain clearing to complete sewer line replacement. We handle broken sewer lines, root intrusions, pipe collapses, and chronic backups that keep disrupting your life. River Park’s older infrastructure means many homes still have clay or cast iron pipes that are particularly vulnerable to California’s dry-wet climate cycles and aggressive tree root growth. We specialize in upgrading these aging systems with modern materials that last. You also get 24/7 emergency service when disaster strikes. Sewer emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our local River Park response means we’re typically on-site within the hour when you need us most.

How do I know if I need sewer repair or replacement?

The decision depends on the extent and location of the damage, which we determine through camera inspection. If you have isolated clogs or minor cracks in accessible areas, repair is usually the most cost-effective option. However, if our camera reveals multiple breaks, extensive root damage, or collapsed sections, replacement becomes the better long-term investment. We’ll show you exactly what we’re seeing and explain why one approach makes more sense than the other. In River Park’s aging infrastructure, we often find that homes built before 1980 benefit from proactive replacement of clay pipe sections, even if they’re not completely failed yet.
Traditional sewer repair requires digging a trench from your house to the street, which destroys landscaping, driveways, and sometimes sidewalks. You’re looking at weeks of disruption and additional costs to restore your property afterward. Trenchless methods let us repair or replace your sewer line through small access points, preserving your yard and hardscaping. We either line the existing pipe with a new pipe-within-a-pipe system, or use pipe bursting to replace the old line while pulling in a new one. The upfront cost is similar, but trenchless saves you thousands in landscape restoration and gets your life back to normal in days instead of weeks.
Sewer repair costs depend on the problem’s location, severity, and the repair method needed. Simple drain clearing might cost a few hundred dollars, while complete sewer line replacement can range from several thousand to over ten thousand dollars. What matters more than the initial estimate is getting the problem fixed correctly the first time. We’ve seen too many homeowners pay for cheap “fixes” that fail within months, leading to emergency calls and much higher total costs. That’s why we always start with a camera inspection to show you exactly what needs to be done, then provide transparent pricing before any work begins. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Tree roots are one of the most destructive forces your sewer line faces, especially in River Park where mature landscaping is common. Roots seek out moisture and nutrients, and even tiny cracks in your pipes act like magnets for root intrusion. Once roots get inside your pipes, they grow rapidly and create a web that catches debris, leading to chronic backups. Worse, the roots continue expanding and can completely crush clay or cast iron pipes, causing catastrophic failures. We regularly find root masses so thick they’ve completely blocked 6-inch sewer lines. The good news is our hydro-jetting equipment can cut through most root intrusions, and our camera inspections help us identify problem areas before they cause major damage.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency sewer repair throughout River Park because sewer emergencies can’t wait. When sewage is backing up into your home or you have a complete system failure, every hour increases the damage and health risks. Our emergency response typically gets us to your property within an hour of your call. We carry the equipment needed to handle most emergency situations on our trucks, so we can often resolve the immediate crisis the same day. Emergency calls do carry premium pricing for after-hours service, but we’re always upfront about costs before we start work. When you’re facing a sewer emergency, our priority is stopping the immediate problem, then developing a permanent solution.
For most River Park homes, we recommend sewer camera inspections every 3-5 years as preventive maintenance, or immediately if you notice slow drains, gurgling sounds, or sewage odors. Homes with large trees nearby or pipes older than 30 years should consider annual inspections. Camera inspections cost a fraction of emergency repairs and help us catch problems while they’re still manageable. We can spot early root intrusion, developing cracks, or sections that are starting to sag before they cause backups. If you’re buying a home in River Park, always insist on a sewer inspection as part of your due diligence. We’ve found major sewer issues in homes that passed traditional inspections, saving buyers from unexpected repair bills after closing.
