Serving El Dorado Hills

In most El Dorado Hills neighborhoods, the homeowner owns the sewer line from the house to the property line or the city tie-in. That means the repair is on you, not the water district. A few HOAs and some newer tracts have different easement rules, so check your title report or CC&Rs. We can tell you where your responsibility ends after a camera inspection.

In 2026, a camera-guided spot repair in this area runs $450 to $1,200. Hydrojetting and root cutting typically land between $1,400 and $3,800. A full trenchless replacement is $6,500 to $14,000 depending on length, depth, and whether we hit rock. We quote flat rates per job after the camera inspection, so the number does not move.

Trenchless repair rebuilds or replaces the pipe without digging a long trench. Pipe lining pulls a CIPP liner coated in epoxy resin through the old pipe and cures it in place. Pipe bursting pulls a bursting head through and drags new HDPE behind it. Both work well on most residential lines and save your driveway and landscaping. We confirm suitability with a camera first.

Standard homeowners policies usually exclude the sewer line itself because it is considered outside the dwelling. Many carriers offer a sewer backup endorsement or a service line rider that covers part of the cost. Check your policy or call your agent. We provide itemized invoices and camera footage you can submit with a claim.

We feed a self-leveling sewer camera through the cleanout and record the full run to the city main. The footage shows cracks, root intrusion, bellies, and offset joints. We mark the problem depth with a pipe locator so the repair crew knows exactly where to work. You get a copy of the video and a written scope before we start.
