What Customers Say
A sewer problem is often one bad spot, not a bad line. A root-filled joint, a cracked section or a belly where the pipe has sunk can cause backups while the rest of the pipe is fine. Repairing just that section costs less than replacing everything, as long as the camera shows the rest is sound.
Nobody wants to replace a whole sewer line when one joint is the trouble. We film the line, find the exact spot, and show you the footage. If a repair will last, that is what we recommend. If it won't, we tell you why.
When to Call About Sewer Line Repair
- A clog that returns after clearing often means a damaged spot that catches waste every time.
- A partial break or sag lets the line cope with light flow but not a large load at once.
- Roots get in through a cracked joint. Cutting them out helps briefly, but the opening is still there.
- Gas escaping from a cracked section can collect around the house or rise from the ground.
- A leak from a broken section can wash out soil and leave a low or wet spot above it.
- Air trapped behind a partial blockage bubbles back through toilets and sink drains.

Office hours Mon–Fri, 8am–5:30pmTimeline and Cost
| Camera inspection and locating | About an hourPinpoints the damaged section and its depth. |
|---|---|
| Single-section repair | Often one dayLonger if the pipe is deep or under concrete. |
| Several separate repairs | A few daysAt that point, compare the cost with full replacement. |
We don't publish prices, because every repair depends on where the damage is and what is above it. After the camera inspection you get a clear estimate before anything is committed. These are the things that move the number most.
| Where the damage is | A spot near the house or in open ground is simpler to reach than one under a slab. |
|---|---|
| Depth of the pipe | Deeper sections take more excavation to reach safely. |
| What sits above it | Concrete, pavers or landscaping add work to open and restore. |
| Number of damaged spots | One repair is modest. Several can approach the cost of replacing the line. |
| Pipe material | Joining new pipe to old cast iron or clay takes the right fittings. |
| Permits | Some sewer repairs need one. Renova coordinates it for the plumbing scope. |
How Sewer Line Repair Works With Renova
Step 1: Clear and film the line
We clear any blockage enough to get a camera through, then record the full run of pipe.
Step 2: Mark the exact spot
We locate the damaged section from the surface and measure its depth, so we open only what we need to.
Step 3: Repair or replace, honestly
You see the footage. We explain whether a repair will last or whether the line is failing throughout.
Step 4: Fix the section
The damaged pipe is cut out and replaced with new pipe, joined properly and set at the right slope.
Step 5: Test and film again
We run water through the line and film the repair, so you can see the result before the hole is closed.

Sewer Line Repair in the East Valley
In older East Valley homes, a single failed joint or a cracked length of cast iron is a common cause of repeat backups. Root intrusion at joints is another. Clearing the line again and again treats the symptom, while the opening that lets roots and waste through stays put.
Repair is the right call when the rest of the pipe is in good shape. When the camera shows corrosion, cracks or sags along much of the line, we will say so plainly, and explain why replacement may cost less over time.
Sewer Line Repair by City
Common Questions
- Is it better to repair or replace a sewer line?
- Repair when the damage is limited to one or two sections and the rest of the pipe is sound. Replace when the line is cracked, corroded or sagging along much of its length. A sewer camera inspection shows which situation you have, so the decision is based on the pipe itself.
- Who does sewer line repair in Gilbert and the East Valley?
- Renova Plumbing & Drain, owned by Luke Williams, repairs sewer lines in Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Queen Creek, Tempe and Scottsdale. The team films the line first, pinpoints the damaged section, shows you the footage, and recommends a repair only when it will truly last.
- Why does my sewer line keep clogging?
- Repeat clogs usually mean something in the pipe keeps catching waste, such as roots at a cracked joint, a broken section or a low spot where the pipe has sunk. Cleaning clears the blockage for a while, but the cause stays. A camera inspection finds it so it can be fixed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Often, yes. If the camera shows damage in one section and the rest of the line is sound, we repair just that section. You see the footage first. If the pipe is failing along much of its length, we explain why a repair would not hold and what your options are.
A single-section repair often takes a day, depending on how deep the pipe is and what sits above it. Repairs under concrete or at greater depth take longer. You get a timeline with your estimate, and if anything unexpected turns up once the pipe is exposed, you hear about it right away.
If the clogs come from the damaged section we repair, yes. That is why we film the whole line first. If the camera shows more than one problem, we tell you before any work starts, so you are not surprised when a second spot causes trouble later.
Some do, depending on the work and your city. Check with Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Queen Creek, Tempe or Scottsdale for your project. When a permit is required for the plumbing scope, Renova coordinates it and completes the repair to code and ready for inspection.
It depends on the damage location, pipe depth, what is above it and how many spots need fixing. One accessible repair is modest. Several repairs can approach the cost of replacement. After the camera inspection you get an estimate before anything is committed. If diagnosing the problem needs tools, camera work, testing or disassembly, a diagnostic fee may apply.
