Sewer Line Repair in Glendora

The Problem

I was contacted by a family in Glendora who were at their wits' end. They were experiencing recurring main sewer line backups every two to three months. They had hired other companies to snake the line repeatedly, but the clogs kept coming back, causing sewage to back up into their bathtubs and showers. I knew snaking was only a band-aid, so I headed out to find the root cause of the problem.

As a local plumber who has seen just about everything in the San Gabriel Valley, I understand how stressful plumbing issues can be. That is why I always prioritize a fast response and clear communication with my customers.

What We Found

I deployed my high-definition sewer camera down their main line to see exactly what was happening underground. About 22 feet out from the house, I found the culprit. Their home had an original 1960s clay sewer line. Over the decades, massive tree roots had infiltrated the joints. Worse, the weight of the soil and the aggressive roots had caused a partial collapse of the clay pipe in one section. Toilet paper and solid waste were snagging on the roots and the broken clay, causing the repeated backups.

I always make sure to physically show my customers exactly what is going on, whether that means looking at the camera monitor together or showing them the worn-out parts. Transparency is a big part of how I run my business.

The Solution

I provided a Written Estimate and explained that we didn't need to bring in excavators and destroy their beautiful landscaping. Instead, we opted for a trenchless sewer repair. First, I hydro jetted the line aggressively to clear out all the roots and descale the remaining clay pipe. Then, I prepared a resin-saturated, cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liner. I inverted the liner into the existing pipe and inflated it. Once the resin cured, it created a brand-new, structurally sound, seamless PVC-quality pipe right inside the old broken one.

My goal is always to provide a lasting fix, not just a temporary patch. I take pride in doing the job right the first time, using high-quality materials and adhering strictly to local building codes.

The Result

The result was a perfectly smooth, solid sewer line with absolutely no joints for roots to ever penetrate again. The homeowners were ecstatic that their yard and driveway were left completely untouched. The wastewater flows perfectly now, and they haven't had a single backup since. It was a great feeling to solve a stressful, recurring problem with modern trenchless technology.

If you are experiencing similar issues in your home, do not wait for the problem to get worse. I am always here to help my neighbors in the SGV.
