Sewer Line Repair & Replacement
From recurring backups to a collapsed line — we camera-inspect, repair, and replace sewer lines with minimal yard damage.
Expert sewer line repair & replacement in Sacramento
A sewer line problem in Sacramento, California is not something to put off. If your drains are slow, gurgling, or backing up into tubs and toilets, the issue is likely in your main sewer line — and it won't fix itself. The Water Works camera-inspects, repairs, and replaces sewer lines for homes and businesses throughout Sacramento County.
Most sewer line problems in this area come from tree roots infiltrating older clay or cast iron pipes, pipes that have cracked or collapsed from age and ground movement, or grease and debris buildup that narrows the line over decades. We start by running a high-resolution camera down the line to see exactly what's going on — we'll show you the footage and explain what we find before recommending any repair.
When repair is needed, we offer both traditional excavation and trenchless options. Trenchless sewer replacement can often be done with just two small access points, saving your driveway, landscaping, and yard from being trenched open. We pull permits, coordinate with the city, and stand behind the work with a written warranty.
Why Sacramento Trusts The Water Works
Since 1985, The Water Works has repaired and replaced hundreds of sewer lines across Greater Sacramento. We know the local pipe materials — clay sewer lines from the 1950s and 60s in older Sacramento neighborhoods, cast iron in 1970s Roseville and Citrus Heights, and modern PVC in newer Folsom and Elk Grove developments. We carry camera inspection equipment on every truck and can show you exactly what's happening underground before you spend a dime on repairs.

Trenchless sewer repair in Greater Sacramento
When the camera shows a cracked or root-invaded lateral, trenchless sewer replacement — pipe bursting or cured-in-place lining — lets us restore the line from two small access pits instead of trenching across a Greater Sacramento yard, driveway, or mature landscaping.
Sewer camera inspection first, always
We don't quote sewer work blind. A sewer camera inspection shows you the exact condition of the line, where it fails, and how deep it is. You see the footage, and the estimate is based on what's actually underground.
Sewer line replacement and permits
Sewer lateral replacement is permitted work, and several local sewer districts require inspection before backfill. We pull the permit, coordinate the inspection, and connect properly at the property-line cleanout so the job passes the first time.
