Mr. Local Services has handled sewer line replacement since 2001, and we start every job the same way: a camera goes down the pipe before anyone quotes a price. You see the footage. You get one fixed number in writing. Then we replace the line, restore the surface, and hand you a 25-year transferable warranty.

Who They're For and What They Solve
Sewer line replacement is the removal or reconstruction of the underground pipe carrying wastewater from your home to the municipal main. Mr. Local Services replaces failing clay, cast iron, and Orangeburg pipe with modern PVC or HDPE, either by pulling new pipe through the old path or by excavating and rebuilding the run outright.
You need it when the pipe itself has failed rather than simply clogged. Collapsed sections, root-split joints, bellied runs holding standing sewage, and corroded cast iron all resist clearing. Homeowners usually reach us after a second or third backup, or after a camera inspection during a property sale reveals structural damage underground.
Replacement solves the cause instead of the symptom, ending the cycle of repeat clearing bills. Left alone, a failing line keeps degrading. Sewage backs into tubs and floor drains, saturated soil undermines slabs and driveways, and what began as a manageable pipe job turns into structural and contamination cleanup on top of it.
Is It Time?
These are the symptoms homeowners describe to us most often.
Our Services
We handle every replacement method, and we choose based on what the camera shows rather than what is easiest to sell.
A bursting head is pulled through the old line, fracturing it outward while drawing new HDPE pipe into place. This is the right approach when the existing path is intact enough to follow. You get a full-diameter new line with only two access pits and your yard largely untouched.
A resin-saturated liner is inverted into the host pipe and cured into a seamless new pipe within the old one. We use it on cracked or root-infiltrated lines that still hold their shape. The result is a jointless interior that roots cannot penetrate, installed without trenching.
When a line has collapsed, lost its slope, or shifted off alignment, no liner will save it. We excavate the run, remove the failed pipe, set new PVC on properly graded bedding, and backfill in compacted lifts. This corrects belly and slope problems permanently.
Sometimes only one segment has failed. We replace that length, reconnect to sound pipe on both sides, and add a proper cleanout for future access. This keeps cost down when the rest of the line tests structurally sound.
Not sure which approach your situation needs? We assess first and recommend only what’s necessary, no upsells.
Why Homeowners Choose Mr. Local Services
Pipe and workmanship are covered for 25 years, in a written document issued at completion. It transfers to the next owner, which matters at resale.
The price you sign is the price you pay. We carry no change-order policy on standard residential replacements, so depth surprises are our problem, not your invoice.
Sixteen years of underground work, certified pipe bursting and CIPP operators, $2M general liability, and full workers' compensation coverage on every crew member.
You see the footage before we recommend anything and after we finish. Surface restoration, including soil, sod, and concrete patching, is included in the quoted price.
How It Works
Call 951-458-6466 and we book a camera inspection, usually within the same week. No charge to diagnose.
We scope the full line, locate the failure, and issue an itemized written quote with the recommended method and a firm total.
We pull required permits, then complete most residential replacements in one to three days depending on method and run length.
The line passes municipal inspection, we restore the surface, and you receive footage plus your 25-year warranty document.
Pricing
We publish real numbers because vague answers waste your time. Most residential sewer line replacements run $4,500 to $12,000, with trenchless methods typically landing between $6,000 and $15,000 for longer runs.
Four factors drive your number: total pipe length to the municipal connection, depth of the line and how much excavation it requires, surface type above the pipe such as lawn versus driveway or slab, and permit scope required for the work.
Your quote includes permits, materials, labor, inspection coordination, surface restoration, and the 25-year warranty. Camera diagnosis is free, and the written quote is fixed before any work begins.
Often yes. When the pipe is structurally sound apart from one failure point, our sewer line repair the spot-fix option and what it costs.
Trenchless replacements usually finish in one to two days. Open-trench runs take two to four days depending on length, depth, and surface restoration.
Trenchless methods need only two small access pits. Open-trench work requires a full trench, and restoration is included in your quoted price.
Yes. We pull every required permit and coordinate municipal inspection ourselves. Permit costs are itemized in your written quote.
Bursting replaces the pipe entirely with new HDPE. CIPP cures a structural liner inside the existing pipe, which requires the host pipe to still hold shape.
Yes. The 25-year warranty covers pipe and workmanship and transfers to the next owner, which helps considerably during escrow.
