Give us a call. Same-day windows available.
Older San Diego neighborhoods like North Park, Kensington, University Heights, and Golden Hill are full of clay and cast-iron laterals with mature trees on top of them. Newer builds in Del Sur, Otay Ranch, and 4S Ranch tend to have fixture-branch clogs instead. Either way, we camera the line so you see exactly what caused it.
Common questions
How do I know my sewer line is broken?+
Recurring backups, wet spots in the yard, and sewer smell around the cleanout are top three signs. A camera inspection confirms it.
Can you repair without digging up my yard?+
In many cases, yes. Trenchless pipe lining rebuilds the pipe from the inside. We assess feasibility with a camera.
How long does a sewer repair take?+
Spot repairs are typically 1 day. Full replacements 2 to 3 days.
Why do older San Diego neighborhoods have so many root problems?+
Neighborhoods like North Park, Kensington, South Park, and University Heights are full of clay laterals from the 1920s to 1950s. Mature ficus, magnolia, and pepper trees find every joint. Jetting plus root treatment is the long-term fix, not repeat snaking.
Do you pull permits for sewer work?+
Yes. Every sewer replacement inside City of San Diego, La Mesa, Chula Vista, El Cajon, Coronado, or unincorporated county is permitted and inspected before backfill.
