Common Sewer Problems Leading to Repair and/or Replacement
While normal drain use can lead to clogs, frequently slow drains indicate a larger issue in the sewer line. A professional sewer camera inspection can identify the cause and location of severe blockage.
Roots – Tree roots find their way into sewer drain pipes through small cracks or seams. They grow towards the moisture and nutrients found in the line and can cause severe breaks resulting in costly damage.
Heavy Scale Buildup – Improperly maintained drains and heavy use lines can become damaged from hard scale buildup in the line. Scale can slowly close off flow and cause backups as well as break the pipe.
Breaks and Deterioration – Aging lines will eventually deteriorate leading to backups from collapsed and missing sections. Roots can also cause broken lines, as well as general wear and tear or shifting of the earth.
At the first signs of backups or when you experience frequent clogs, call the team at Giddens Brothers Plumbing, Heating and Air. We can provide an expert diagnosis and offer the best repair or replacement option.
Sewer Line Repair
The first step in any sewer line repair or replacement in Sacramento and surrounding areas is an in-depth sewer camera inspection. In many cases, a thorough professional snaking or hydro jetting service can repair pipes full of roots. Using specialty cutter heads and high pressure streams of water, our team can remove roots from the line, as well as dissolve years of grease buildup.

Traditional sewer replacement requires excavating sections of the line or the entire system and installing a brand new sewer pipe. We have extensive training to safely access the damaged section and will use only the highest quality sewer pipe to restore services. Traditional dig-ups and replacement can solve minor breaks when the line is underneath fresh earth and easily accessible. Replacing entire sewer drain can be more intrusive, but is sometimes the best solution.
When digging up the line is not an option, or for a more cost effective replacement, we offer pipe bursting in Sacramento and surrounding areas. With pipe bursting, there is no need to fully excavate the pipe, as the damaged line is demolished underground.
Pipe bursting uses a HDPE, or High Density Polyethylene pipe, for replacement as it is both flexible enough to be inserted into the space through minor access points and strong enough to last for years.
We are able to accurately diagnose the cause of damaged sewer drains and provide multiple options for repair and/or replacement. We offer honest and upfront pricing and perform all work to the highest standards.
For second opinions, we will meet or beat written estimates from licensed contractors. For exceptional service and the most cost effective sewer line repair and replacement in Sacramento and surrounding areas, call 209-745-4328 Monday through Friday 7am to 7pm.
