A sewer line problem is one of the most serious plumbing issues a homeowner can face. Unlike a clogged drain that clears with a snake, a damaged or deteriorated sewer line will keep causing problems until the underlying issue is addressed. The most common causes in San Diego are tree root intrusion into older clay or cast iron pipes, pipe corrosion and cracking over time, ground movement that creates offsets or bellies in the line, and grease buildup that hardens and narrows the pipe.
We start every sewer job with a camera inspection. Running a camera through the line lets us see exactly what's happening — root intrusion, cracks, a collapsed section, or a belly that's collecting waste. That diagnosis determines the right repair. We excavate and replace sewer lines using new ABS pipe, install cleanouts for future access, and restore the area after the work is complete.
Older neighborhoods near SDSU and the College Area frequently have aging clay sewer lines that are decades old and prone to root intrusion. In Chula Vista and Eastlake, newer construction sometimes has different issues — improper backfill, ground settling, or connections that weren't made correctly. We're familiar with both.

Why Choose A Pro Plumbing
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my sewer line is damaged?
Common signs include recurring mainline stoppages, sewage odors in the yard or inside the home, wet or unusually green patches in the lawn, slow drains throughout the house, and gurgling sounds from toilets or floor drains. A sewer camera inspection is the only way to confirm the condition of the line.
What does sewer line repair involve?
We start with a camera inspection to see exactly what is happening inside the pipe — root intrusion, cracks, offsets, bellies, or blockages. Based on what we find, we recommend the right repair: targeted spot repairs, partial replacement, or full sewer line excavation and replacement with new ABS pipe.
Do you do sewer camera inspections?
Yes — we run a camera through the sewer line to see exactly what is happening inside: root intrusion, cracks, offsets, bellies, or blockages. This lets us recommend the right repair rather than guessing.
How long does a sewer line replacement take?
Most residential sewer line replacements are completed in one to two days depending on the length of the line and site conditions. We excavate, remove the old pipe, install new ABS sewer pipe, backfill, and restore the area.
