A damaged or collapsed sewer line is one of the most serious plumbing emergencies a property owner can face — raw sewage backing up into the home is both a health hazard and a significant structural risk. Thomas's Santa Monica Plumbing uses waterproof sewer cameras to run a real-time video inspection of your main sewer line, identifying exactly where root intrusion, pipe bellying, offset joints, or collapsed sections have occurred. You receive a clear picture of the problem before any repair work begins.
Depending on the nature and location of the damage, we offer traditional open-cut sewer line replacement as well as trenchless options where conditions allow. Trenchless pipe bursting pulls a new high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe through the old line while simultaneously fracturing the deteriorated pipe outward — eliminating most or all of the need to excavate your yard, driveway, or landscaping. For lines with minor cracks or root intrusion, cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining can rehabilitate the existing pipe from the inside without excavation. We'll explain which method best suits your specific situation and soil conditions.
Santa Monica's mix of older housing stock — particularly properties built before 1960 with clay or Orangeburg pipe — makes sewer line issues more prevalent than in newer developments. If you're purchasing a home in Santa Monica, a pre-purchase sewer scope is one of the best investments you can make. We provide clear video footage and a written summary you can share with your real estate agent or seller.
