Residential Sewer Replacements in San Fernando Valley
Sometimes a repair is not enough to save a sewer line. If your sewer has become heavily corroded, has several leaks, or has settled unevenly, it is time to replace it. A failing line only gets worse, so putting off a replacement risks backups, sewage seepage, and damage to your yard and foundation. When your line is past saving, Save The Day Plumbing
is the name San Fernando Valley
homeowners count on.
We confirm the line is beyond repair first
Contact us and we will start with a full video review of your sewer line using our high resolution, waterproof cameras. This shows us whether the pipe can still be repaired or whether the damage runs the length of the line. Only when a repair will not last do we recommend a full replacement, and then we help you choose the least disruptive way to do it.
Quality Materials Built to Last
Once we begin, you can trust our specialist residential plumbers to use the highest quality materials and to work with the same efficiency and courtesy we are known for. A new sewer line is a long term investment, so we install durable, modern, code compliant pipe designed to serve your home reliably for decades to come.
Trenchless and Traditional Replacement
Replacing a sewer line no longer has to mean tearing up your whole yard. Where the pipe path allows, we use trenchless methods such as pipe bursting to install the new line through small access points, protecting your landscaping and driveway. When conditions require it, we excavate and replace the line directly, always restoring the site when we finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a new sewer line?
Repeated breaks, widespread corrosion, a bellied or sagging section, or a collapsed pipe usually mean replacement. A camera inspection confirms whether the line is beyond repair.
Can a sewer line be replaced without digging up my yard?
Often yes. Trenchless methods like pipe bursting replace the line with minimal excavation, protecting your yard. A fully collapsed line may still need some digging.
What is trenchless sewer replacement?
Trenchless replacement installs new pipe along the existing path through small access points, rather than an open trench the full length. It is faster and far less disruptive to your property.
How long does a sewer replacement take?
Many replacements are completed in a day or two, depending on the line's length, depth, and access, and the method used. We give you a timeline with the estimate.
How long does a new sewer line last?
A properly installed replacement using quality modern materials can last 50 years or more. Correct installation and keeping roots away help it reach its full lifespan.
What causes a sewer line to fail completely?
Decades of corrosion, ground movement, invasive tree roots, and long term buildup can wear a line to the point where the whole pipe fails and needs replacing.
Is sewer replacement covered by insurance?
Sudden, accidental damage is sometimes covered, while gradual wear, corrosion, and root intrusion usually are not. Check your policy, since coverage varies by circumstance.
Should I replace my sewer line before selling my home?
It can help. A sound, documented sewer line removes a common deal concern, and some cities require a lateral inspection at the point of sale.
