LA's older housing stock — pre-war bungalows, post-war ranch homes, mid-century duplexes — runs on sewer laterals that are 60 to 100 years old. Clay pipe cracks. Cast-iron rusts through. Orangeburg collapses. Roots invade every joint. We camera every sewer job before quoting so you know exactly what you're paying to fix. When it's one break, we spot-repair. When the line is generally failed, we recommend trenchless lining or full replacement — and show you the camera footage that justifies the call.
What's Included
Camera Inspection First
HD sewer camera run from the cleanout to the city main. We give you the written report and the video file — yours to keep for your home file.
Spot Repair (Excavation)
When the damage is a single break at a known depth, open-cut spot repair is the cheapest and most durable fix. Typical cost $2,500–$5,500.
Trenchless Pipe Lining
For longer sections with multiple cracks, we install a cured-in-place epoxy liner through the existing pipe. No trenching, no yard destruction.
Trenchless Pipe Bursting
When the old line is too far gone to line, we pull a new HDPE line through the old path with a bursting head. Two small pits instead of a 60-foot trench.
Full Line Replacement
When access allows, a full replacement with new ABS or cast-iron resets the clock by 50+ years. Permits, inspection, final grade restoration included.
Root Intrusion Mitigation
After the primary repair we can treat the line with foaming root control to slow re-intrusion for 12–18 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know it's the sewer line and not just a slow drain?
Multiple fixtures backing up at once — toilet + shower + tub — points to the lateral, not the branch. Sewage smell in the yard, a wet patch over the pipe run, or a failed escrow inspection confirms it.
How much does sewer repair cost in LA?
Spot repair $2,500–$5,500. Trenchless lining $125–$200 per foot. Full replacement $175–$350 per foot depending on depth and access. We quote the exact number after camera inspection.
Will you destroy my yard?
Only if traditional excavation is the right answer. Most LA sewer jobs now qualify for trenchless — two small pits at either end, no trenching between.
Is a permit required?
Yes, for any sewer repair in the City of LA and most surrounding jurisdictions. We pull the permit and coordinate the inspection.
How long does the repair take?
Spot repair: half a day. Trenchless lining: 1–2 days. Full replacement: 2–5 days depending on length and access.
Does homeowner's insurance cover sewer repair?
Usually not for age-related failure. Sometimes yes for tree-root damage from a neighbor's tree. We provide inspection footage for your insurance claim.
