Sewer Line Replacement & Repair in Southern California
Persistent drain issues in your home can signal a bigger sewer pipe problem happening underground. Serious clogging (sewage pipe repair or sewer back up) or other sewer line issue is not always fixed with simple drain cleaning and maintenance. If traditional plumbing techniques do not solve the problem, you must look into replacing the sewer lines and laterals. Sewer drain replacement is a task which requires a professional plumbing crew, and at Team Rooter, we specialize in identifying and fixing these types of replacements and repairs.
We can find leaks that are hidden beneath the foundation of your home or business. Our electronic leak detection service includes a sewer line camera inspection allowing our plumbing techs to find those hidden leaks and fix them and stop damage and water waste.

What Causes Sewer Line Damage?
Sewer lines don’t last forever. Over time, many things can weaken, clog, or damage your underground plumbing:
Tree root intrusion
Pipe corrosion
Shifting soil or earthquakes
Grease and debris buildup
Old clay or cast iron pipe deterioration
If your sewer line is over 30 years old—or you’ve had frequent backups—it may be time to inspect and replace part (or all) of the line.
Signs You May Need Sewer Line Replacement
Not sure if you’re dealing with a serious sewer issue? Watch out for these warning signs:
🚽 Recurring drain backups throughout the home
🌧️ Standing water or soft, sunken patches in the yard
🦨 Persistent sewer smells indoors or outside
🔁 Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets
📉 Unusually high water bills
When these signs show up together, your sewer system may be compromised. The sooner you act, the easier—and more affordable—the fix.

They take care the job warranty without a question. Three years ago they repaired my sewer line with trenchless sewer pipe replacement. Last weekend the sewer backup to bathroom again. Called their customer service, unfortunately all the serviceman are out at the time, I got a local plumber came right way to clean out the blockage. Next day called Team Rooter reported the problem, a supervisor discuss the situation with me by phone and offered sending a technician to site to investigate. Mr. James Craig came with Cam Video the next day found tree roots break into pipe through a coupler. He immediately authorized a repair job: to break the concrete, dig 3 ft down to reach and replace the broken pipe coupler. Two men crew showed up next day completed the job which could value of thousands dollars but all under warranty. A special thanks to Mr. James Craig, his is knowledgeable and friendly. His kindly smile really comforts my anxiety. I would highly recommend Team Rooter for any plumber problem because rest assure they will come back to fulfill their promise.
