Sewer line repair and replacement services
Every job starts the same way: we find the actual problem. A camera inspection in El Dorado Hills tells us whether you need a spot repair, a hydrojet cleaning, or a full main line replacement.

Sewer Camera Inspection
We push a self-leveling sewer camera through the line and record the whole run. You see the root intrusion, the bellied section, or the cracked PVC pipe on the monitor. This is how we tell a $400 spot repair from a $9,000 replacement before anyone digs.

Hydrojetting
A hydrojetting machine blasts grease, scale, and soft roots off the pipe walls at up to 4,000 psi. We hydrojet main lines in El Dorado Hills before lining or after root cutting so the pipe is clean enough for a CIPP liner to bond properly.
View serviceRoot Cutting
Live oak and cottonwood roots find every hairline crack in clay soil. We run a root cutter head through the line to shear the roots back to the pipe wall, then camera the run to confirm the pipe is clear and structurally sound.

Pipe Lining
Cured-in-place pipe lining rebuilds a failing line from the inside. We pull a CIPP liner saturated with epoxy resin through the pipe, inflate it against the walls, and cure it. You get a new structural pipe without a trench across your lawn.
View service
Pipe Bursting
When the old line is too far gone to line, pipe bursting pulls a pipe bursting head through and drags new HDPE behind it. The old pipe shatters outward, the new pipe takes its place, and we only open two small pits instead of trenching the whole run.

Spot Repair
One cracked section, one bad joint, one root-damaged collar. We cut out the failed piece, splice in new PVC pipe with proper sewer gaskets and pipe cement, and pressure-test the repair before backfill. Most spot repairs are done in a day.

Main Line Replacement
Full replacement is the right call when the line is collapsed, back-pitched, or patched past saving. We replace the main from the house to the city tie-in with schedule 40 PVC pipe, re-grade it correctly, and pull any required permits in El Dorado County.

How we handle your sewer line
Camera and locate
We run the sewer camera from the cleanout and mark the problem with a pipe locator. You watch the footage on the monitor so you know exactly what we are dealing with.
Quote and schedule
We give you a flat price for the repair or replacement and a realistic window. If it is an emergency, we start the same day. If it can wait, we book a slot that works around your schedule.
Repair or replace
Our techs cut roots, hydrojet, line, burst, or splice depending on what the camera showed. We keep the work area contained and protect your landscaping with plywood and tarps.
Test and walkthrough
Before we backfill, we pressure-test the line and run the camera one more time. Then we walk the job with you, show you the footage, and hand over the warranty paperwork.
You call, we ask a few questions about where the backup is showing up, and we get a truck out. From there the process is the same whether it is a slow drain or a full blockage.
Why choose us
Why our sewer line repair El Dorado Hills crew gets called back
Plenty of companies will dig first and diagnose later. We do it the other way around, and that saves you money on the job and keeps your yard intact. Here is what that looks like in practice.
Camera before we quote
Every estimate starts with a sewer camera run and a pipe locator reading. You see the footage, we mark the depth, and the price is based on what is actually in the ground. No guessing, no change orders halfway through the dig.
Trenchless whenever possible
Pipe lining and pipe bursting let us fix most failing lines through two small access pits. That means no trench through your driveway, no removed patio, and no re-landscaping bill on top of the plumbing bill. We tell you upfront if trenchless will not work for your line.
Licensed, insured, code-correct
We hold California State Contractor License (C-36) credentials, carry EPA Lead-Safe Certification, and follow OSHA Safety Compliance on every site. Tie-ins meet IAPMO Uniform Plumbing Code, so the work passes inspection and holds up when you sell the house.
Who is responsible for sewer line repair in 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.
How much does it cost to repair a sewer line in El Dorado Hills?
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.
What is trenchless sewer line repair and does it work?
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.
Does home insurance cover sewer line repair?
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.
How does sewer line camera inspection work before trenchless repair?
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.
