sewer line repair and replacement

Are you having sewer line issues? The first step in diagnosing common sewer line problems is typically a drain snaking. If our team discovers problems during this process such as roots, sludge, or hard spots, we will recommend a sewer camera inspection to accurately diagnose the best possible repair or replacement option. City Plumbing & Rooter has been expertly performing sewer line replacement and repair in Ventura County for more than two decades. We have a team of trained and skilled drain specialists able to troubleshoot even the toughest sewer line problems to provide a permanent solution

Common Sewer Line Problems

Cast iron and clay sewer lines are the most susceptible to problems and are typically found in older homes. Clay and cast iron can deteriorate over time, experience breaks due to natural shifting of the earth, and they allow easy access for root intrusion. The nutrient-rich material in main sewer lines attracts growing tree roots and they will find their way in through even the smallest seams or cracks. Once they infiltrate the main sewer line, they can grow quickly, further damaging a sewer line and even growing up through toilets. Other sewer problems include buildup over time that compromises the integrity of the line, making it necessary to repair or replace the sewer line.

Sewer Line Repair Services

There are multiple options for sewer drain repair. Our team will help residential and commercial customers make the best choice to permanently repair the drain with the most cost-effective solution. One strong option is hydro jetting, which is ideal when the sewer line is intact but has a hard-scale sludge buildup, and even some roots. A sewer camera inspection will indicate if the line is a candidate for main sewer hydro jetting, a high-pressure water stream that will scour the insides of the pipe cleaning heavy buildup and removing roots. If the sewer line shows cracks, holes, or small missing sections, the pipe may be able to be rehabilitated through pipe lining. Pipe lining is a form of trenchless sewer line repair. It is cost-effective, non-invasive, and will restore the line by creating a brand new durable pipe inside of the interior of the damaged sewer line.

When Is Sewer Line Replacement Needed?

If roots have fully broken a sewer pipeline, there are large missing sections or major damage, the line may have to be replaced. A traditional solution is digging up the affected drain line and replacing it with a new ABS pipe. In some instances, when the line is only damaged in a small portion under fresh non-landscaped earth, a traditional replacement can be the best course of action. However, if the entire line is in need of replacement or it runs under expensive landscaping and/or concrete, traditional replacement will be the most costly option. Pipe bursting is another trenchless option, but instead of lining the pipe, it replaces it with a new High-Density Polyethylene pipe (HDPE). HDPE is strong, durable, and seamless, making it an ideal replacement to protect against future root intrusion. It can typically be installed in one day, depending on the length of the line, and requires no excavation of your property.
