Behind the scorecards

Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, compared with other San Diego plumbers and drain companies. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from thousands of people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews.

What changes the cost of a sewer line repair in San Diego

No prices are published here. Sewer line repair prices depend on how long the damaged section is, how deep it runs, whether a camera inspection is included, whether the repair uses trenchless methods or digging, and what has to be restored afterward, such as paving or landscaping. Get the method and the full scope in a written quote.

Questions to ask before a sewer line repair

  • Will you run a camera through the line and show me the footage?

  • What gets restored afterward, such as paving, landscaping or flooring?
  • Does the work come with a written warranty?

Frequently asked questions

Which San Diego plumbers offer trenchless sewer repair?

Arrow Plumbing and Drain Services Inc. lists trenchless sewer repair, replacement and pipe lining on its site. E-Drains, Inc. has a reviewer who says it tunnelled under a house for a pipe repair instead of opening the floors.

One reviewer says Arrow Plumbing replaced an entire sewer line in La Jolla within a week. One Clear Vision Plumbing reviewer had cast-iron sewer pipes replaced, and one Elite Rooter Plumbers reviewer had a sewer lateral repaired with a 5-foot-deep trench.

Do I need a sewer line repair or just drain cleaning?
