You choose the next step
Hear the available options, ask questions and decide how you want to proceed.
Mainline & sewer specialists
Repair the line. Not your whole yard.
A broken or collapsed sewer line does not always require a long open trench. Rooter Pros diagnoses the damage first, then compares traditional replacement with trenchless methods when the pipe and property allow.
Request a sewer evaluationEvery diagnosis starts with the camera — see how it works →
Trenchless work is not right for every line. Pipe condition, access, material and the type of failure all shape the recommendation.
See the problem before choosing the repair.
Signs your sewer is failing, 3 repair options & what shapes the price
Signs your sewer line is failing
Sewer lines rarely fail overnight. If any of these sound familiar, get the camera in before a backup decides for you.
Inside the house
Every drain is slow
One slow drain is a fixture problem. Every drain slow, toilets gurgling, backups at the lowest fixture — that's the main line talking.
Out in the yard
Soggy spots & sewer odor
An unusually lush strip of lawn, ground that never dries, or a sewer smell outside — a lateral leaking underground.
Know your pipe
Clay, cast iron, Orangeburg
Much of the Valley's housing stock is past its pipe's lifespan. If your home still has its original line, a camera inspection is cheap insurance.
Three ways a sewer line may be restored.
The right method depends on what the camera shows. We explain the tradeoffs—including excavation, expected disruption and long-term fit—so you can make an informed decision.
Pipe lining
Best fit may includeA host pipe that is still structurally suitable but has cracks, joints or root-entry points. A new liner is formed inside the existing pipe with limited digging. How pipe lining works →
Pipe bursting
Best fit may includeA line that needs full replacement but has workable access points. The old pipe is displaced as a new pipe is pulled into its path.
Traditional excavation
Best fit may includeCollapsed sections, difficult layouts, poor access or conditions where trenchless methods are not suitable. The damaged line is exposed and replaced directly.

Good questions
Before you call.
A few quick answers to common plumbing questions. For anything specific to your property, call and describe what you’re seeing. More answers on our full plumbing FAQ.
What should I do during a plumbing leak?
If it is safe to do so, shut off the nearest fixture valve or the property’s main water supply. Move valuables away from the water and avoid electrical outlets or fixtures in the wet area. Then call a plumber.
Why does my drain keep backing up?
Recurring backups can point to buildup deeper in the line, root intrusion, a damaged pipe or another issue that a quick surface treatment will not solve. A camera inspection may help identify the cause.
When is hydro jetting useful?
Hydro jetting can remove grease, scale and stubborn buildup from suitable lines. The plumbing should be evaluated first so the cleaning method matches the pipe condition.
Can sewer replacement be done without digging up my yard?
Sometimes. Pipe lining or pipe bursting can limit excavation when the existing line, access and surrounding conditions are suitable. A camera inspection and site evaluation are needed before recommending a trenchless method.
How long does a sewer replacement take?
The timeline depends on the length and depth of the damaged line, access, permits and the repair method. After evaluating the line, we can explain the expected scope and schedule for that property.
Do tree roots always mean the sewer line must be replaced?
No. Root intrusion can sometimes be cleared, but roots often enter through an open joint or damaged section. A camera inspection helps show whether cleaning, spot repair or replacement is the better next step.
Does insurance cover sewer line work?
Coverage varies by policy and by the cause and location of the damage. Contact your insurer for a coverage decision, and ask what photos, camera footage or written documentation they require.
Do you work on water heaters?
Yes. Call if you have no hot water, inconsistent temperature, leaking around the unit or unusual noises. Be ready to share the type and approximate age of the heater if known.
Are you open for emergency service?
Yes. Rooter Pros is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. Call (818) 669-9019 and describe the problem and your location. Same flat rate around the clock — no overtime charges, ever.
