Pasadena Sewer Repairs & Replacement Services

Reliable and Efficient Sewer Line Solutions in Glendora & Beyond

Nobody wants to think about their sewer line all that much. These pipes are tasked with carrying away some of the most unpleasant types of waste that we have to deal with on a day-to-day basis, and doing so in a way that protects us from potential harm if we are accidentally exposed. However, as unpleasant as they may be, they are absolutely critical to our modern lives. Anyone who has gone without a flushing toilet for any period of time knows just how unpleasant life can be, and that’s why we encourage you to reach out to the Pasadena sewer line repair team from Merry Plumbing as soon as possible should you need your line serviced.

Because we work on homes and businesses throughout Pasadena, San Marino, South Pasadena, and other San Gabriel Valley communities, we are familiar with the local mix of older clay and cast iron sewer lines, newer PVC systems, and the building codes that apply to each. That local knowledge enables us to recommend the most suitable approach for your property, whether that involves targeted repairs, trenchless options, or planning a longer-term upgrade when the system is nearing the end of its useful life. When you contact us, we can guide you through what to expect during a sewer repair visit, the typical duration of services, and steps you can take to protect your flooring, landscaping, and hardscaping before work begins.

Call our plumbing company today at (626) 414-5583 for the sewer line repair in Pasadena, San Marino, San Gabriel, and the surrounding areas.

Recognizing Signs of Sewer Line Issues

When sewer lines leak or break, they not only create nauseating smells but can also cause severe damage and sometimes irreparable harm to your property. It is vital to recognize the signs that your sewer lines may need attention before the worst happens.

Key Indicators of Failing Sewer Lines

Drains that keep bubbling. Blowing bubbles may have been fun when we were kids, but as adults, bubbles are now the warning signs of plumbing issues. Bubbles are a result of trapped air or gas that is stuck in your sewer line, typically behind a completely obstructed line. If you notice bubbles in addition to slow drains, call to have your sewer line inspected right away.
Multiple backed-up drains. If one of your sinks, your shower, or your tub is draining slowly, then there’s a pretty good chance you probably have a blockage somewhere in that particular drain line. If all the drains in your home are clogged, then you probably have a malfunction in your sewer line. If flushing your toilet causes water and sewage to spew back up into your tub or shower, then you probably have a sewer line problem that needs to be addressed.

Other warning signs can include soggy or unusually green patches in your yard, sewer odors near drains or around the foundation, and gurgling sounds coming from toilets, even when nobody is using them. In older Pasadena neighborhoods or hillside areas of the San Gabriel Valley, shifting soil and tree roots seeking moisture can put extra stress on buried pipes, allowing small issues to escalate quickly if not addressed. If you notice any of these changes, it is usually more cost-effective to schedule an inspection promptly rather than waiting for a full backup or collapse to occur.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Can I Tell If I Need A Sewer Repair Or A Full Line Replacement?

Determining whether to repair or replace your sewer line depends largely on the frequency of backups and the overall age of the piping material. If your system suffers from a single localized crack or a specific root intrusion point, a targeted repair can often resolve the issue without a total overhaul. However, if the line is made of outdated orangeburg or severely corroded cast iron, a full replacement is usually the most cost-effective long-term solution to avoid recurring service fees. A professional video camera inspection is the only definitive way to see if the structural integrity of the entire line has been compromised beyond the point of simple patching.

What Is The Difference Between Traditional Excavation And Trenchless Sewer Repair?

Traditional excavation involves digging a continuous trench along the entire length of your sewer line, which often requires tearing up landscaping, driveways, or sidewalks. In contrast, trenchless sewer repair utilizes advanced technology to fix or replace pipes through small access points with minimal surface disruption. Methods like pipe bursting or epoxy lining allow technicians to create a new, seamless pipe within the old one without destroying your property’s curb appeal. While traditional digging might be necessary for collapsed lines, trenchless options are generally faster and help preserve your Pasadena home's exterior features.

Can Tree Roots In My Pasadena Yard Cause A Main Sewer Line Break?

The mature trees and lush landscaping common in Pasadena pose a significant threat to underground sewer lines because roots naturally seek out the moisture and nutrients inside the pipes. Even a microscopic crack or a loose joint can allow a tiny root hair to enter, where it will quickly grow into a thick mass that can eventually shatter the pipe from the inside. Over time, these root clusters act as a net for grease and debris, causing total blockages and increasing internal pressure that leads to structural breaks. Regular maintenance and professional root clearing are essential for homeowners with older properties and large trees to prevent a catastrophic sewer failure.

How Long Does It Typically Take To Replace A Residential Sewer Line?

A standard residential sewer line replacement using traditional excavation methods usually takes between three and five days to complete from start to finish. If your property is eligible for trenchless replacement technology, the entire process can often be finalized in as little as one or two days. The timeline includes the initial setup, the physical removal or relining of the pipes, and the final testing to ensure the system meets all local safety codes. Our team works diligently to minimize the time your water service is offline so that your household can return to normal as quickly as possible.
