Sewer Repair & Repiping

Recurring main line backups, sewage in the yard, or galvanized pipes giving you rusty water? Our sewer and repipe team uses trenchless methods whenever possible to fix the problem without destroying your landscaping.

What we do

Sewer line failures are some of the most disruptive plumbing problems a homeowner can face, but they don't have to mean a trenched-up front yard. SoCal Plumbing Co invests in modern trenchless equipment for pipe bursting and cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining, which can replace or repair a damaged sewer lateral through just one or two small access pits.

Repipes are another specialty. Many homes built before the 1980s across Orange County still have original galvanized steel supply pipes that corrode from the inside out, restrict water pressure, and leave rust stains in your fixtures. A whole-home repipe in copper or PEX restores full pressure, eliminates leaks, and is usually completed in 2–4 days.

Every sewer and repipe project starts with a comprehensive camera inspection so you can see exactly what we see. We provide written, itemized estimates and pull all required permits.

Repair recommendation

Spot repair, trenchless lining, pipe bursting, or full replacement. We recommend the least invasive option that solves the problem.

New pipe installed, line tested, cleanouts added where useful, and yard/concrete restored to original condition.

Why choose SoCal Plumbing Co for sewer repair & repiping

Hundreds of homeowners and property managers across Orange County trust us with their plumbing. Here's what sets our sewer repair & repiping service apart.

Trenchless first

We recommend pipe bursting or CIPP lining whenever the host pipe allows: no trenched-up yard or driveway.

Engineered repipes

Full-home copper or PEX repipes designed for full-pressure recovery and 40–50+ year service life.

Permits & inspection

We pull every required permit and meet the inspector on-site so you have clean records at resale.

Restoration included

Concrete, sod, irrigation tie-ins, and drywall patch coordinated as part of the project: not a surprise add-on.

Sewer Repair & Repiping cost & what affects pricing

Spot sewer repairs typically land in the low four figures. Trenchless pipe bursting or CIPP lining of a full lateral runs mid four figures to mid five figures depending on length, depth, and access.

Whole-home repipes vary by bath count and pipe material; most single-family copper or PEX repipes fall in the mid five figures. Every quote is itemized: rough plumbing, fixtures, drywall patch, permit, and inspection.

Every quote is flat-rate, written, and approved before any work begins. Call (562) 366-0303 for a same-day estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you've had three or more pinhole leaks in five years, or your supply pipes are original galvanized steel, a whole-home repipe is almost always cheaper long-term than chasing individual leaks.

Trenchless repair replaces or relines a damaged sewer lateral through one or two small access pits, instead of digging a trench across your yard. It's faster, less destructive, and the new pipe is often more durable than the original.

Most single-family repipes are completed in 2–4 working days. We work in zones so you have water access at the end of each day.

No. We schedule work so water is restored each evening. There's some drywall patching afterward, but you can stay in the home throughout.

A quality copper repipe should last 50+ years; PEX is rated 40–50 years. Both come with a manufacturer warranty plus our workmanship warranty.

Questions

Sewer Repair & Repiping: questions we get asked

Do you have to dig up the yard?
Often not. Trenchless lining cures a new pipe inside the old one, and pipe bursting pulls a new line through the old path. Both need access pits rather than an open trench, which matters most where there is mature landscaping or hardscape over the line.
How do I know if it is roots or a collapse?
A camera tells you in minutes and nothing else does reliably. Roots recur on a schedule and can be cut and treated; a collapse or a belly holds water and will keep backing up until the section is replaced.
Copper or PEX for a repipe?
Both are code-compliant. PEX moves faster, handles the water chemistry here well and needs fewer joints in the wall; copper is what many owners still prefer for the visible runs. We will price both rather than pick for you.
Who owns the pipe under the street?
The lateral from the house to the main is the property owner's responsibility in most Orange County cities, including the section under the sidewalk. The city owns the main itself. We will confirm which side of that line the fault falls on before quoting.

    Water heater replacement went way smoother than expected. The crew removed the old unit carefully, installed the new one neatly, and checked every connection before leaving. Hot water came back immediately.

    Extreme care was taken with the plumbing work that was done during our bathroom makeover. The new vanity and shower arrangement were flawlessly accommodated by positioning all of the pipes. All delays were avoided since the plumber and the contractor worked together seamlessly.

    Installing a freestanding bathtub required careful plumbing adjustments. The technician aligned everything perfectly and ensured proper drainage slope. He tested multiple fill and drain cycles. The setup looks beautiful and works flawlessly.
