Signs You Might Need Sewer Repair
You’ll usually get a few clues before a full backup happens. Look out for:
- Gurgling sounds coming from toilets or drains
- Sewage smells near the yard or driveway
- Soggy or sunken spots in the grass
- Several drains clogging at the same time
- Water levels rising when another fixture runs
Ignoring these signs can lead to bigger trouble, like foundation leaks or underground damage that’s costly to repair later.
Book OnlineSewer Offset Repairs
When a sewer joint slips out of alignment, you get an offset, which is two pipe ends that no longer meet cleanly together. When that happens, waste can quickly snag on the lip, the flow of wastewater slows, and leaks can end up flooding your soil. You might notice repeat clogs in the same fixtures, gurgling, or a soft spot in the yard near the line.
We’ll come out for a video sewer inspection to confirm the offset and check the surrounding joints and grade. Next, we’ll choose the cleanest long-term option for your line and soil conditions:
- Targeted spot repair to realign and seal a small, localized offset.
- Sectional replacement when the joint is damaged or the pipe wall is compromised.
- Trenchless CIPP lining to bridge minor misalignments and create a smooth, seamless interior.
- Pipe bursting to replace a run that’s shifted or fractured along a longer stretch.
If the sewer line offset has also created a loss of grade (“belly”), we’ll correct the slope as part of the repair.
What Causes Sewer Line Offsets
There are several things that contribute to sewer line offsets, including:
- Soil movement and settling that nudge older clay or cast-iron joints apart
- Tree root pressure spreading joints and opening pathways for intrusion
- Vibration or load from traffic, equipment, or nearby construction over shallow lines
- Aging connections or prior patchwork repairs that no longer hold alignment
We’ll get your sewer lines straight, smooth, and even so your sewer flows like it should again.
Frequently Asked Drain & Sewer Questions
You might notice drains slowing down, frequent clogs, or a strong odor outside. Sometimes the lawn gets soft or soggy. A quick camera inspection from our team confirms whether the pipe just needs repair or full replacement.
Offsets usually happen when the ground shifts or roots push through pipe joints. Once that alignment slips, water and waste can’t pass evenly, and debris collects. We locate the offset with precision tools and use trenchless repair to restore proper flow.
In many cases, yes. If the offset only affects a small section, we can often seal and realign it with a trenchless liner or targeted repair. Larger separations may need pipe bursting or partial replacement.
Repair addresses one section of the line, while replacement installs a completely new system from end to end. Small cracks or isolated damage are typically repairable; widespread corrosion usually calls for replacement.
Yes. Our trenchless options, including CIPP lining and pipe bursting, let us restore or replace pipes through small access points. You’ll keep your yard, patio, and driveway intact while the work finishes faster.
Most trenchless projects wrap up in one or two days. The timeline depends on soil type, pipe depth, and overall condition. We’ll give you a clear schedule before starting so you always know what to expect.
Sometimes. Most policies cover indoor damage but not the exterior line running to the street. We’ll document everything and provide inspection photos if your insurer requires proof.
Trenchless Sewer Repair & Replacement
Whenever possible, we repair or replace sewer lines using trenchless technology — it’s cleaner, faster, and built for long-term reliability.
- CIPP Epoxy Lining: A flexible liner coated with resin is inserted into the old pipe. Once cured, it forms a smooth, seamless interior that seals cracks and restores flow.
- Pipe Bursting: A new high-density pipe is pulled through the old one, breaking it apart as it goes. You get a completely new line in the same path — no trenches required.
Trenchless methods are especially effective for offset or broken sections because they realign and strengthen the pipe internally without destroying your landscaping. Both options protect your property and extend the life of your sewer system for decades.
Our Sewer Repair Process
Regardless of what kind of sewer repair technique your property needs, we’ll keep the process simple, clean, and transparent:
- Inspection: A camera inspection pinpoints the exact cause and location of the issue.
- Explanation: We show you the footage and walk through your repair options.
- Repair or Replace: We choose the safest, most efficient method, and it all starts with gentle approaches like hydro jetting before moving to trenchless solutions.
- Test & Clean Up: Every line is pressure-tested, every seal is checked, and your yard is left clean and tidy.
Every project meets California plumbing code and includes a one-year workmanship warranty for peace of mind.
