The sewage smell coming from your yard isn't going to fix itself, and waiting usually makes things worse. At Rooter Guard, we've handled just about every sewer nightmare you can imagine, from root-clogged pipes to lines that collapsed years ago. Whether you're dealing with slow drains, recurring backups, or something you'd rather not describe, sewer repair in Long Beach is what we do every single day. Keep reading to learn what causes these problems, how we fix them without tearing up your whole property, and what you can do to prevent a repeat situation.
Long Beach sits on soil that shifts. The mix of sand, clay, and high water tables creates ground that moves with the seasons. The movement puts pressure on underground pipes and causes cracks, joint separations, and complete collapses. Older homes built before the 1970s typically have clay or cast-iron sewer lines. These materials corrode and deteriorate after decades of exposure to moisture and soil chemicals. Tree roots present another major threat in this area. Mature trees send roots searching for water sources, and a tiny crack in your sewer line releases moisture that attracts them like a magnet. Once inside, those roots expand and create blockages that no amount of plunging will fix. Coastal salt air also accelerates corrosion on exposed pipe fittings and cleanout caps. Homes near the harbor or beach face faster deterioration than properties further inland. A qualified plumber can identify whether your damage stems from one cause or a combination of factors.
Sewer line repair used to mean guesswork and excavation. Technicians would dig exploratory trenches until they found the damage, which destroyed landscaping and ran up labor costs. Modern diagnostics eliminate that waste. We insert a waterproof camera into your sewer line through an existing cleanout. The camera feeds live video to a monitor and shows the exact condition of your pipes from the house to the street. We can see root intrusions, grease buildup, cracks, offsets, and collapsed sections in real time. The camera also transmits location data. A radio transmitter in the camera head sends a signal to a handheld locator above ground. This lets us mark the precise spot of any damage within inches. We know exactly where to work before we touch a shovel. The inspection reveals whether you need sewer repair, a spot fix, or a new sewer line installation. It also shows the pipe material, diameter, and depth. This information determines which repair method will work best for your situation. Video inspections normally take less than an hour and save thousands in unnecessary excavation costs. We record the footage and provide you with a copy so you can see exactly what we see.

Traditional sewer line replacement meant digging a trench from your house to the city connection. That process destroyed driveways, sidewalks, gardens, and mature trees. The excavation alone could take days, and restoration costs added thousands to the final bill. Trenchless methods changed everything. Trenchless sewer line repair in Long Beach allows us to fix damaged pipes through small access points at each end of the line. We use two primary techniques depending on the damage. Pipe lining involves pulling a flexible liner coated with epoxy resin through the existing pipe. The liner inflates against the pipe walls and cures in place within hours. The finished liner resists root intrusion and corrosion for decades. Pipe bursting works for lines too damaged for lining. We pull a bursting head through the old pipe. The head fractures the existing pipe outward while simultaneously pulling new pipe into place behind it. This accomplishes complete sewer line installation using only two small excavation points. Trenchless sewer line replacement in Long Beach works for most residential properties. The methods require adequate access points and pipes that haven't completely collapsed or separated. Our camera inspection determines which approach fits your situation. Most trenchless repairs are completed in a single day. You avoid weeks of yard restoration and the disruption of major excavation.
A new sewer line should last forty to fifty years with proper maintenance. Skipping maintenance shortens that lifespan dramatically. Annual sewer line cleaning removes buildup before it hardens into blockages. Grease, soap residue, and organic matter accumulate along pipe walls. Professional hydro jetting blasts these deposits away with high-pressure water, which restores full pipe diameter and prevents slow drains from becoming complete backups. Watch what goes down your drains. Cooking grease belongs in the trash, not the sink. Wet wipes, even those labeled flushable, create blockages deep in your sewer line. Hair catchers in shower drains stop clogs before they start. Tree root management matters if you have mature landscaping. Know your cleanout location, too. Every property has at least one cleanout, usually near the foundation or in the front yard. This access point allows a plumber to clear blockages and perform inspections without entering your home. If you don't know where yours is, ask during your next service call. Trenchless sewer line repair in Long Beach costs less than emergency replacement.
Sewer problems don't improve with time. Every day you wait allows damage to spread and repair costs to climb. Call Rooter Guard to schedule a camera inspection and get answers about your sewer line condition. Trenchless sewer line replacement in Long Beach doesn't have to destroy your property or drain your bank account. Our technicians arrive with the equipment and experience to diagnose your problem accurately and fix it right the first time. Contact us today to schedule your appointment.

Absolutely fantastic service! This plumbing company went above and beyond to solve our issue quickly and efficiently. The team was incredibly professional, punctual, and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain everything in detail. They left the workspace spotless and ensured everything was working perfectly before they left. Fair pricing and exceptional customer care make them stand out from the rest. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable and top tier plumbing services!
We hire them for any plumbing work we have! Very reasonable prices, excellent service, and quick response times. They’re also really up front and explain everything very well. We’ve had really bad experiences with other plumbing companies in the SFV, and were very fortunate to find Rooter Guard. 100% recommend!
A burst water heater caused damage in our garage, but Rooter Guard acted quickly to assess, remove the old unit, and install a new tankless system. During the process, they fixed several plumbing issues. The technicians—Johnny, Erik, John, Victor, and Kirk—were communicative and thorough. I’d gladly use them again.
Johnny and Andy were great! We had a complicated problem: stopped up sewer because of tree roots along with 50 year old cast iron pipes. They had to install a clean out at the blockage, repair a broken pipe and then clear the tree roots with hydrojet. Everything’s running smoothly now! These guys are such hard workers and so good-natured. They were upfront about everything and the price was fair. We highly recommend this team! Update! Just had our kitchen sink drain cleaned, technician was prompt, tried one rooter, then another larger one, that did the trick, cleared drain, water flowing great. You guys are the best!
Repiping replaces old or failing pipes with new materials that last longer. Homes with frequent leaks, rust colored water, or declining pressure reach a stage where patching is no longer enough. New piping restores the entire system.
