Every photo below is an actual Sewer Pipe Pros job in Greater LA. If your home has slow drains, gurgles, or a sewer smell in the yard, you're probably looking at one of these.
Clay → ABSTree roots squeeze into hairline cracks and joints, then grow into a full blockage. Classic on LA properties with mature trees and clay sewer lines.
Main lineDecades of soil shift cause pipe sections to separate. Water and waste leak out, soil settles, and the line slowly collapses inward.
Pre-1970 homesBrittle vitrified clay is still under thousands of LA homes. Hairline cracks become backups, and once it breaks, spot-patches rarely hold.
Crawlspace / sub-slabCast iron rots from the inside out. The bottom of the pipe flakes away and waste flows through a rust shell. Common under mid-century homes.
Low-slope lineA dip in the sewer line holds water and solids. It looks fine on camera for a while, then backs up every time a load of laundry runs.
Full replacementWhen a section caves in, the yard stops draining and nothing clears it with a snake. Trenchless or open-trench replacement is the only real fix.

Burst pipe, sewer backup, gas leak, no hot water. We dispatch a licensed tech fast. No call trees, no third-party dispatcher, no surprise fees.

Sewer Pipe Pros Inc. was built by Robert Manuel Chamul on a simple idea: plumbing work should be upfront, explained, and done right the first time. Too many LA homeowners have been burned by vague pricing, pushy upsells, and techs who disappear the moment a warranty claim comes in.
We run things differently. Every job starts with a real diagnosis. Every price is explained before we pick up a wrench. Every service, from a toilet reset to a full trenchless sewer replacement, is performed by a licensed team that treats your home like their own.
We're a Greater Los Angeles contractor holding both a C36 plumbing license and a C42 sanitation systems license, which means we can legally (and competently) handle everything from your kitchen sink to your main sewer line.

Trenchless sewer repair cost depends on the length of the line, how deep it sits, the pipe diameter, and whether we line the pipe (CIPP) or burst and replace it. Because there is little to no digging, you usually save significantly on landscaping, concrete, and driveway restoration compared with traditional dig-and-replace. We always scope the line with a camera first and give you a clear, upfront quote before any work starts, no hourly surprises.
Yes. We answer the phone around the clock, every day, for burst pipes, sewer backups, gas smells, water heater failures, and other plumbing emergencies across Greater Los Angeles. Call (310) 780-0362 and we'll dispatch a licensed technician, often the same day.
We serve Greater Los Angeles, including Downtown LA, Hollywood, West LA, Santa Monica, Culver City, Venice, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Westwood, the South Bay (Torrance, El Segundo, the beach cities, Inglewood, Gardena, Hawthorne), Long Beach, and the eastern and Valley cities of Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys, and Encino.
Absolutely, especially with LA's older housing stock. Many homes still have clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg sewer laterals that crack, corrode, or fill with tree roots. A camera inspection during escrow shows you the true condition of the line so a collapsed or root-choked pipe doesn't become a five-figure surprise after closing. We provide HD video and a written report you can use in negotiations.
Common warning signs include multiple slow or gurgling drains at once, sewage odors inside or in the yard, backups when you run water or flush, unusually lush or sunken patches in the lawn, and recurring clogs that keep coming back after snaking. Any of these is worth a camera inspection to catch the problem before it becomes a full backup.
Yes. Sewer Pipe Pros Inc. is a licensed and insured California contractor, license #1126184, holding both the C36 (plumbing) and C42 (sanitation systems) classifications. All work is performed by licensed technicians and permitted through LADBS where required.
Most sewer replacements, water main replacements, water heater changeouts, gas line work, and whole-home repipes require a permit and inspection through LADBS (or your city's building department). We pull the proper permits and coordinate inspections as part of the job so the work is done to code and documented for your records.
We offer same-day availability in most of the LA area and respond immediately to true emergencies. Call (310) 780-0362 or request service online and we'll confirm the soonest window, often the same day.
