Sewer Repair and Replacement in Murrieta, CA

Is It One Clogged Drain, or Your Main Sewer Line?

Is it just the kitchen sink? Then our Murrieta drain service is the place to start. When a backup travels from one fixture to the next, the trouble is usually past the drains, in the pipe that carries everything from your house out to the street. Call us immediately if you’re seeing:

• Water rising in the shower or tub while the washing machine drains
• A toilet that gurgles after a sink empties
• Several drains slowing down in the same week
• Sewage coming up through a floor drain or the capped cleanout pipe outside
• A wet or sunken patch of yard along the sewer line’s path
• A drain you’ve already had cleared backing up again

While you wait for us, skip the laundry and the dishwasher and keep showers short, so less water is pushing against the blockage.

Not every Murrieta home is on public sewer. If yours drains to a septic tank, we handle septic plumbing too.

See Inside Your Sewer Line Before You Choose a Repair

From the cleanout, our technician sends a waterproof camera down the line, and at Guardian, you’re welcome to watch the screen right alongside them. The footage can show roots, cracks, grease, and sagging sections.

The camera also shows how far out each problem is. In Murrieta, that matters because, past your property line, the pipe may be the water district’s to fix.

Clean It, Line It, or Replace It: Your Sewer Repair Options

Once we’ve seen inside your line, we’ll walk you through which of these repairs makes sense. Two of them are trenchless, so your yard may not need to be dug up at all.

If the Pipe Is Sound: Clearing and Hydro Jetting

When the pipe itself is in good shape, cutting out the roots and clearing the blockage may be all it needs, and we’ll tell you so. Hydro jetting removes grease and heavy buildup by using high-pressure water to wash the whole pipe wall, not just open a hole through the clog.

If It’s Cracked but Holding Its Shape: Perma-Lining

Perma-lining puts a new pipe wall inside the old one. We install it through small access points, so your lawn, driveway, and walkway can usually stay where they are.

If It’s Failing Along Its Length: Pipe Bursting

Pipe bursting replaces the whole run without a trench. A bursting head splits the old pipe while the new one follows right behind it, and we only need a pit at the house end and one at the far end.

If a Section Has Collapsed: Digging It Up

Some repairs still need a shovel, most often a collapsed section or a sag deep enough that waste sits in it. Before anyone digs, we’ll mark the spot with you and talk through what’s in the way, whether that’s a planter, a path, or a slab.

“Chase and Art were fantastic at explaining the process and my options. The amount of work needed was extensive (requiring digging and rerouting drainage pipes).” —Ray B.

Your Sewer District Decides Who Fixes the Pipe Past Your Property Line

Murrieta doesn’t have a single sewer provider. Four water districts run the city’s public sewer lines, and each handles the stretch between your property line and the sewer main under the street its own way:

*On EMWD sewer, if the public main runs through a back or side yard instead of the street, the entire line from your house to the main is yours.

Not sure which district serves your street? The City’s utility contact sheet lists all four with their phone numbers, so you can call yours to confirm.

What to Expect When We Come Out for Sewer Service

1. Call or book online and tell us what’s backing up, and where.
2. Your technician opens the cleanout, clears any blockage, and sends the camera in.
3. You’ll sit down with the footage and a price for each repair, and nothing gets started until you pick one.
4. We schedule the repair, take care of any permits it needs, check the line again when we’re done, and leave the work area clean.

If you’d like to talk it over at home first, that’s fine with us.

Murrieta Sewer Repair Questions

Why can’t you quote a sewer repair over the phone?

The same backup can come from a root clog near the cleanout or a cracked pipe forty feet out, and those are very different jobs. Accurate pricing starts with a look inside the line, and once the camera’s been through, you’ll have a price for each option.

Will my yard get torn up?

Not with most repair methods. Clearing, hydro jetting, and our two trenchless repairs, perma-lining and pipe bursting, work through small openings. If a section has to be dug up, we’ll show you where before we start.

My sewer backed up on a Sunday. Can someone come today?

We work 7 days a week, and same-day service is usually available, so call as soon as sewage starts coming up.

Is regular sewer maintenance worth it?

If roots or grease have backed up your line before, it often is. Clearing it on a schedule and having it checked now and then can catch trouble early. It also helps to keep wipes out of the toilet, even ones labeled “flushable,” since they can catch on roots in the pipe.
