Sewer Repair in Burbank & Los Angeles
Broken, bellied, or collapsed main lines repaired at the actual failure point — not the whole run when the whole run does not need it.
What is sewer repair?
Sewer repair is structural work on the pipe that carries every drain in your house out to the city main. When that pipe cracks, separates at a joint, sags into a belly, or collapses, waste stops moving reliably and no amount of cleaning fixes it for long.
The scope depends entirely on what the camera shows. A single crushed section under a parkway is a spot repair: one excavation, a section of new pipe, couplings, backfill, and compaction. A line that has failed in several places along its length is a replacement, and it is cheaper to do once than to keep buying spot repairs every eighteen months.
Los Angeles County adds its own wrinkles. Many laterals cross public right-of-way, which means permits, inspection, and sometimes a street or sidewalk restoration requirement. We handle that paperwork and schedule the inspector rather than leaving it on your kitchen counter.
Where the yard can be spared we use trenchless methods. Where the pipe is fully collapsed or the grade has to be corrected, open excavation is the only honest answer, and we say so up front with the price and the timeline in writing.
How does it work?
- 1
Confirm and locate the failure
Camera and sonde work identifies each defect and its exact depth and position, so the excavation is a targeted hole rather than an exploratory trench.
- 2
Permit and utility clearance
We pull the permit and have underground utilities marked before any digging. Skipping this step is how gas and electrical lines get hit.
- 3
Excavate and replace the failed section
The defective pipe is removed and replaced with new ABS or PVC set to proper grade and fitted with rated couplings. Correct slope is what keeps the line from bellying again.
- 4
Test, backfill, restore
The repair is camera-verified and inspected, the trench is backfilled and compacted in lifts to prevent settling, and the surface is restored.
Reviews
What neighbors say about our sewer repair work
“Crushed section under the parkway. They pulled the permit, dug one hole, and had the inspector out the next morning.”
“Two other bids were for a full replacement. Their camera showed only twelve feet was bad and that is all they charged me for.”
“Backfilled properly in layers and came back to check the lawn after the first rain.”
