Sewer Line Repair and Replace for residential and commercial property owners is the specialty of California Sewer & Rooter Plumbing (855)-976-7473 contractors.
The biggest drain on a property is the main sewer line. All drainpipes from a property flow to the main sewer lines. When operating properly, the main sewer line will then flow to the city’s sewer line. However, in life, sewer line problems occur.
Stoppages in home sewer lines do occur and our our experts can electronically locate the affected area. Sewer Line Repair can often be taken care of with a Hydro Jet drain cleaning machine, sometimes we find that the main drain is broken and needs to be repaired to solve the problem.
Our video sewer and drain inspection enables us to diagnose your sewer line problems. We insert into the pipe a flexible rod with a high-resolution miniature video camera on its tip to identify where and what is the cause of the problem. The recorded video allows us to discover which sections of pipe are damaged, crushed, broken, punctured, collapsed, disjointed, penetrated with roots, etc.
The recorded video will inform us if an auger cleaning or forceful high-pressure wash out will suffice or if further repairs are necessary.
No Extra Charges: Nights, Weekends, or Holidays

Trenchless Sewer Repair Process -No Dig options:
Traditional Method: Traditional Sewer Line Repair and Replacement are typically performed using a backhoe to dig up the area surrounding the line so to allow easy access to the problem area. Once the repair is made, the backhoe is used to refill the area. This option may be the only option at times depending on the condition of your pipes, their configuration, or where you live.
Trenchless Repair Methods involve making small access holes where the damaged pipe starts and ends; then, pulling a new pipe through the existing pipe which bursts the old pipe into pieces while simultaneously laying new pipe. Trenchless repairs cause less damage to yards and driveways than traditional repair methods because only the dirt at the beginning and end of the line is disturbed. Check out this video on how trenchless repairs work.
Pipe Bursting Option: Pipe bursting allows our plumbing professionals to dig two small points of access at the beginning and end of your piping system instead of digging up your entire yard. The old line is blown apart as new pipe is pulled through it, effectively destroying the damaged line and replacing it with a high density polyethylene pipe that is stronger and has a service life of up to 50 years.
Pipe Relining Option: With Pipe relining, a felt impregnated fiberglass line is placed inside the faulty pipe to seal off any damaged areas, creating a structural repair that lasts for up to 50 years. Relining allows full line replacement or repairs on 3″ to 8″ lines. Access is usually made through one entry point and the new lining can be run all the way to the city connection, even under a street or driveway.
When conditions allow, a Trenchless Sewer Line Repair and Replacement is preferred and superior since it’s generally less damaging, more economical and a faster process.
The repair or replacement of an entire sewer line or even just a section is sometimes required when drain clearing efforts don’t work. These are the primary indicators that a repair or replacement procedure is required:
- Broken, cracked or collapsed pipe due to shifting soil, frozen ground, settling, among other possible causes.
- Severe grease buildup or a foreign object restricting flow.
- Corrosion of an older pipe that caused the pipe to break or collapse.
- A “bellied” pipe where a section of the pipe has sunk due to ground or soil conditions, creating a low spot in the line where paper and waste collect and cause repeated blockages.
- Leaking joints where the seals between sections of pipe have broken, allowing water and sewage to escape.
- An excessive amount of roots in the line that cannot be cleared using a cable machine.
How can Len the Plumber not only identify the problem, but pinpoint its exact location? Easy: by employing an in-line video inspection camera. The images captured by the camera are transmitted to a device operated by the camera technician. These images are recorded for further review. At the same time, a radio transmitter on the camera records the physical location of the line and its depth from the surface so that the appropriate repairs can be properly planned and implemented. And that usually results in faster and less costly repairs.
