installing and replacing new sewer lines

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How can I tell if my sewer line needs repair or replacement?

    There are several signs to watch out for indicating sewer line issues. Common red flags include recurrent clogs, slow drainage, foul odors, sewage backups, and soggy patches in the yard. Additionally, if you notice cracks in the foundation or an unexplained increase in pest activity, it could be a sign of sewer line problems. A video inspection can provide a more accurate diagnosis of the condition and help determine if repair or replacement is necessary.

  • What methods do you use to diagnose sewer line problems?

    We use video camera inspections to diagnose sewer line problems effectively. This advanced technology allows us to inspect the inside of the sewer line, identify blockages, cracks, or other issues, and accurately assess the condition of the entire system. It helps us provide precise recommendations for repairs or replacement based on the real-time visuals and saves time in identifying the problem source.

  • Is it possible to repair a damaged sewer line without replacing the entire system?

    Yes, in many cases, it is possible to repair a damaged sewer line without replacing the entire system. Various trenchless repair methods, such as pipe relining and spot repairs, allow us to address specific issues and extend the life of the existing sewer line, minimizing excavation and disruption to your property.

  • How disruptive is the sewer line repair or replacement process, and how long will it typically take to complete the job?

    The sewer line repair or replacement process can be somewhat disruptive, as it may involve excavation and disruption to the affected area. However, modern techniques like trenchless repair can minimize the disruption significantly. The duration of the job depends on various factors, such as the extent of damage, the type of repair or replacement, and accessibility. Typically, it may take anywhere from a few days to a week to complete the job.

"I had an issue with a leak and City Plumbing sent someone out the same day! They rearranged there schedule to fit me in. Brandon came out and was so respectful, he wore shoe booties to protect my floors and his mask the whole time. He was able to diagnose the problem quickly and fix it right away. I will only be using this company in the future and hopefully get Brandon for any future jobs."
