Sewer Line Replacement
Is your property experiencing recurring backups, slow drains, foul odors, or sinkholes in your yard? These could be warning signs of a failing sewer line that requires professional attention.
Your Trusted Plumbing Partner
At Professional Plumbing & Sewer, we specialize in comprehensive sewer line replacement services throughout Orange County and LA County, utilizing both traditional and advanced trenchless technologies to restore your plumbing system with minimal disruption to your property.
Modern Solutions for Sewer Line Problems
Traditional sewer line replacement typically involves extensive excavation—digging trenches across your yard, driveway, or landscaping to access and replace damaged pipes. This approach is invasive, time-consuming, and often results in significant restoration costs beyond the plumbing work itself.
At Professional Plumbing & Sewer, we offer advanced trenchless sewer line replacement methods that minimize disruption while providing superior, long-lasting results. Our specialized techniques allow us to replace your damaged sewer lines with minimal excavation, preserving your property's appearance and saving you time and money.
Signs Your Sewer Line Needs Replacement:
- Multiple drains backing up simultaneously
- Recurring clogs that resist conventional clearing methods
- Sewage odors inside your home or in your yard
- Unusually lush or soggy patches in your lawn
- Sinkholes or depressions forming in your yard
- Visible cracks in your foundation
- Rodent or insect infestations (pests can enter through broken pipes)
- Significantly higher water bills without explanation
- Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets
- Slow drainage throughout your home
If you're experiencing any of these warning signs, contact Professional Plumbing & Sewer immediately for a comprehensive sewer line inspection. Early intervention can prevent extensive damage to your property and potentially reduce the scope of necessary repairs.

Our Advanced Sewer Line Replacement Methods
Trenchless Pipe Bursting
Pipe bursting is a revolutionary trenchless technique that allows us to replace your damaged sewer line without extensive excavation. This method involves:
- Creating small access points at the beginning and end of the damaged pipe section
- Inserting a bursting head attached to new HDPE (high-density polyethylene) pipe
- Hydraulically pulling the bursting head through the old pipe, simultaneously fracturing it outward while pulling the new pipe into place
Traditional Excavation (When Necessary)
While we specialize in trenchless solutions, there are situations where traditional excavation remains the most appropriate method for sewer line replacement. Our experienced team will recommend this approach only when necessary, such as:
- Complete pipe collapse that prevents trenchless access
- Extensive damage requiring full system replacement
- Significant changes needed to the sewer line layout or slope
- Certain types of pipe materials that aren't suitable for trenchless methods
Even when traditional excavation is required, our team works efficiently to minimize disruption, using the latest equipment and techniques to complete the job quickly and restore your property to its original condition.
