Sewer Line Repair & Replacement in San Clemente
If your sewer line is leaking, collapsed, or blocked, time is critical. Left untreated, sewer issues can cause costly property damage and serious health risks. Our sewer services include:
- Sewer line inspections and diagnostics
- Spot repairs and partial line replacements

We begin every job with a thorough video inspection to determine the condition of your pipes and recommend the most cost-effective solution. In many cases, trenchless methods can be used to avoid digging and reduce labor time.
Our Services
What Is Trenchless Sewer Repair?
Trenchless sewer repair allows us to fix or replace underground pipes without the need for major excavation. This means:
- No tearing up your driveway, landscaping, or hardscape
- Faster repair times — often in just one day
- Durable, long-lasting results with minimal disruption
Our most common trenchless methods include:
We insert a flexible, epoxy-coated liner into the existing pipe, inflate it, and let it harden in place. This creates a new pipe inside the old one without digging.
We break apart the old pipe while pulling a new high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe into its place.
Both options are safe, reliable, and meet plumbing code standards in San Clemente.
Common Causes of Sewer Line Failure
Several factors can cause your drain or sewer line to fail over time, including:
Roots from trees and shrubs seek out moisture and can invade or collapse sewer pipes
Older metal pipes can corrode, rust, and crack
Shifting soil due to erosion or nearby construction can break or displace pipes
Grease, wipes, and debris can clog or block sewer lines over time
Poorly sloped or incorrectly installed lines often fail prematurely
If your home is over 30 years old and has never had a sewer inspection, it may be time to check the condition of your lines — even if you haven’t noticed a major issue yet.
Signs You May Need Sewer Line Service
Wondering whether your problem is a minor clog or a deeper issue in your sewer system? Here are common red flags:
- Frequent drain backups or clogs in multiple fixtures
- Gurgling sounds coming from drains or toilets
- Foul odors near drains or outdoors
- Water pooling in your yard or around your foundation
- Slow drains throughout the home
- Sudden increase in water bills
If you notice any of these signs, we can inspect your sewer line with a high-resolution video camera to pinpoint the issue and recommend the right repair.

- Hydro jetting to remove grease, scale, and tree roots
- Floor drain and mainline cleaning
We’ll identify the cause of your slow drain and provide a safe, effective solution that prevents future blockages.
