No one enjoys dealing with sewer line repairs, although sometimes they need to be done. There are many causes of why your sewer line clogs up, and having the proper access to maintain your sewer is key.
A sewer cleanout is an important part of your home’s plumbing and waste disposal system. It is a pipe with a cap that provides access to the sewer line so that blockages can be removed. The lateral sewer line connects your home to the public sewer system.
Your entire plumbing system leads to the same place – the sewer line, which plays a vital role in carrying waste from your home, all the way to the nearest treatment plant. The California Plumbing Code requires that your sewer lines are buried at least 12 inches into the ground. Since the sewer line lays below your property and isn’t visible to the eye, establishing the cause and exact location of the problem cannot be done without professional assistance.
Fortunately, here at VIP Sewer and Drain services, our well equipped and knowledgeable professionals have the necessary skill and experience that allows for a much quicker and smoother process of fixing a sewer line than traditional methods used in the past.
Sewer line problems are often accompanied by gurgling noises, slow drains, unpleasant odors, sudden lush, green patches in your lawn and/or a backed up clean out. Water backing up out of your fixtures is another telltale sign of a clogged or damaged sewer line. If your main sewer line is clogged, water coming down from one fixture won’t be able to pass down through the sewer line, and will come back up through the next available opening – another fixture right inside your home.
A damaged sewer line can quickly create very costly and complicated problems, therefore if you have recognized any of these symptoms it is crucial to act quickly to prevent further damage.
Here at VIP Sewer and Drain Services, we like to stay on top of innovative plumbing solutions that allow us to tackle the toughest problems and provide the best solutions. Some of the sewer line repair and replacement methods we use include:
Pipe-Lining – Pipe-lining is essentially, placing a new pipe inside an old pipe. This is done by cleaning out the old pipe of any debri, inserting a liner that adheres to its inner walls and saturating it with an epoxy mix that then cures and becomes your new pipe.
Epoxy Brush Coating – Epoxy brush coating is a new method of restoring and rehabilitation for sewer lines and drain pipes. Similarly to pipe-lining, epoxy brush coating works by applying an even coat to the inside of your walls to cover and fill any pinholes, cracks and corrosion. This is an alternative to pipe replacement, extending the life of the lines currently in your plumbing system.
Hydro Jetting – Hydro Jetting is a safe, effective and economical method of clearing out a clogged pipe – one we highly recommend. It does two jobs in one, unclogging and cleaning your pipe which helps tremendously in the upkeep and maintenance of your plumbing system.
Pipe Bursting – Pipe bursting is a trenchless method of completely replacing buried pipelines. It entails the bursting of your old pipe in small pieces, removing it and inserting a brand new pipe in its place. All without the cost and hassle of digging.

1. **Less Labor and Equipment**: Trenchless technology requires minimal digging, resulting in fewer labor hours and equipment usage compared to traditional methods. This can lead to cost savings on labor and equipment rental.
2. **Reduced Restoration Costs**: Since there is minimal excavation involved, there is less damage to landscapes, driveways, or structures above the sewer line. This reduces the need for extensive restoration work, saving on additional costs.
3. **Faster Completion**: Trenchless sewer lining projects are often completed more quickly than traditional methods, reducing the overall project duration. This can result in cost savings associated with shorter project timelines.
4. **Long-Term Savings**: Trenchless sewer lining can improve the longevity of the sewer line by creating a durable, seamless new lining inside the old pipe. This can result in long-term cost savings by reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
Overall, the cost benefits of trenchless sewer lining stem from its efficiency, reduced labor and restoration costs, faster completion times, and long-term savings due to the durability of the new pipe lining.
