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:

  • 🌧️ 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.

Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement (No-Dig Options)

We specialize in trenchless sewer repair, a modern approach that fixes broken lines without tearing up your entire yard. It’s fast, efficient, and incredibly popular in Los Angeles.

  • Pipe bursting: Breaks the old pipe and pulls in a new one in its place.

  • Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP): A flexible liner is inserted and hardened inside your existing line, creating a seamless new pipe.

Trenchless repairs are ideal for most LA homes, especially where landscape or concrete makes traditional digging difficult.
