Your home’s sewer line is one of the most important parts of your plumbing system. It carries wastewater safely away from your property, keeping your home clean, healthy, and comfortable. When something goes wrong—like a clog or break—it can lead to slow drains, foul odors, and serious water damage.
At Point Loma Electric, Plumbing, Heating & Air, we specialize in sewer line repair and replacement services for homeowners throughout San Diego. Whether your line needs a simple fix or a full replacement, our team has the experience, tools, and technology to get the job done right the first time.

Signs You May Need Sewer Line Repair
Sewer problems often start small, but if ignored, they can quickly turn into major plumbing emergencies. Here are some of the most common signs that you may need sewer pipe repair:
-
Slow or Gurgling Drains: Multiple drains backing up or gurgling at once usually indicate a main line issue rather than a single drain clog.
-
Unpleasant Odors: If you smell sewage around drains or outside near your yard, there could be a break or blockage in your sewer line.
-
Patches of Green Grass: Overly lush or wet patches in your yard might mean sewage is leaking underground.
-
Frequent Backups: If you’ve had more than one drain backup within a short time, it’s likely an issue with your sewer line rather than individual fixtures.
-
Foundation Cracks or Wet Spots: Leaking sewer water can damage your foundation or cause pooling near your home.
Advanced Sewer Line Inspections
Before any sewer line repair or replacement begins, it’s important to find the exact cause and location of the issue. We use advanced camera inspection technology to get a clear look inside your pipes.
This non-invasive process allows our technicians to identify:
-
Blockages from roots or debris
-
Cracks, corrosion, or collapsed sections
-
Misaligned or deteriorating pipe joints
-
Areas affected by soil shifting or settling
With accurate diagnostics, we can recommend whether a sewer pipe repair or a complete sewer line replacement is the best long-term solution for your home.
Professional Sewer Line Repair
Not every problem requires replacing your entire line. When damage is limited, our team can often perform targeted sewer pipe repair to restore flow and prevent further damage.
Depending on your situation, repair methods may include:
-
Pipe Relining: A trenchless method where we insert a durable liner inside your existing pipe to seal cracks and reinforce the structure.
-
Spot Repairs: For smaller issues, we can replace or patch specific sections of damaged pipe without disturbing the rest of your line.
-
Root Removal and Cleaning: If tree roots have invaded your sewer line, we’ll safely clear the blockage and repair the entry point to prevent recurrence.
These methods allow us to fix issues efficiently while minimizing disruption to your property.

Sewer Line Replacement Services
If your sewer line is old, corroded, or severely damaged, replacement may be the safest and most cost-effective option. As a leading San Diego sewer line replacement company, we specialize in both traditional and trenchless replacement methods.
Traditional Sewer Line Replacement
In some cases, excavation is necessary to remove and replace the old pipe. Our team works carefully to minimize disruption to your landscaping and restore your property once the job is complete.
Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement
For many homes, trenchless technology offers a faster, less invasive alternative. Using techniques like pipe bursting or cured-in-place piping, we can install a brand-new sewer line through your existing one—without digging up your yard.
This method is ideal for homes with finished landscaping, driveways, or patios, as it requires only small access points.
Whichever method you choose, our licensed plumbers ensure your new line meets all local building codes and is designed to last for decades.

While some sewer issues are unavoidable, regular maintenance can significantly reduce the risk of future damage. We recommend scheduling a professional inspection every few years, especially if your home is older or surrounded by mature trees.
Simple preventive steps like avoiding flushing non-degradable items, keeping grease out of drains, and using root inhibitors can also help extend the life of your system.
And if you ever notice early warning signs like slow drains or foul odors, don’t ignore them—acting quickly can save you thousands in future repairs.
