Sewer problems without destroying your yard. Camera diagnostics, trenchless repair, and full replacement when needed.

Licensed & Insured Free Estimates Same-Day Service Serving All San Diego County

Sewer line problems are among the most disruptive and potentially damaging plumbing issues a homeowner can face. In San Diego, aging clay and Orangeburg sewer pipes — installed in homes built before 1970 — are deteriorating rapidly, while tree roots from mature landscaping are one of the primary causes of sewer blockages in newer neighborhoods. Plumbing Pro San Diego uses sewer camera inspection to accurately diagnose problems before recommending any repair, and we offer trenchless repair technology that fixes most sewer line issues without excavating your yard or driveway.

Why San Diego Homeowners Choose Us

Licensed, insured, and experienced — here's what sets our service apart.

Sewer Camera Inspection

A waterproof camera goes directly into your sewer line and shows us exactly what's happening — root intrusion, pipe collapse, offset joints, cracks, or buildup. No guessing.

Trenchless Pipe Lining

We can reline damaged sewer pipes from the inside using cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining — no digging, no yard damage. The new liner lasts 50+ years.

Trenchless Pipe Bursting

For severely damaged pipes, pipe bursting breaks the old line apart while simultaneously pulling a new pipe into place — still without major excavation.

Traditional Excavation When Needed

Some situations require full excavation — collapsed pipes, root balls, or severely offset joints. We handle these efficiently with proper restoration.

Pre-Purchase Sewer Inspections

Thinking of buying a San Diego home? A sewer camera inspection before close can save you from a $5,000–$20,000 surprise repair after move-in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about sewer line repair in San Diego.

How do I know if I have a sewer line problem?
Warning signs include multiple drains backing up simultaneously, sewage smell in your yard or home, gurgling sounds from toilets when you run sinks, wet spots or unusually green patches in your yard, and frequent drain clogs.
How much does sewer line repair cost in San Diego?
Trenchless pipe lining typically runs $4,000–$12,000. Traditional excavation and replacement can be $8,000–$25,000+ depending on depth, access, and length of line. Camera inspection alone runs $150–$350. We quote everything before starting.
What is trenchless sewer repair?
Trenchless repair fixes your sewer line with minimal or no digging. The two main methods are pipe lining (inserting a new liner inside the old pipe) and pipe bursting (breaking the old pipe while pulling a new one through). Both preserve your yard and landscaping.
How long does a sewer line repair take?
Trenchless repairs are typically completed in 1–2 days. Traditional excavation and replacement takes 2–5 days depending on the scope and length of line.
Should I get a sewer inspection before buying a home in San Diego?
Absolutely — especially for homes built before 1980. Clay and Orangeburg sewer pipes from that era are at or past end of life. A $200 camera inspection can reveal a $10,000 problem before you close on the property.
