Sewer Line Repair in Riverside, CA

Your sewer lateral runs from the house to the city main, and when part of it fails, everything backs up. We repair Riverside sewer lines with spot repairs, replacement or trenchless options when they fit. Riverside is south of our Rialto shop on the I-215, and we focus on north Riverside.

Licensed, local and open 24 hours: that is Drain Edge Rooter. We are a Rialto plumbing company with California license C-36 #1078977, and the number to call is (909) 927-3194.

Sewer Line Repair: what we take care of

  • Spot repairs of cracked or offset joints
  • Adding a cleanout for future access
  • Trenchless lining when the pipe is a good candidate
  • Checking for the pipe types we expect in Riverside’s mix of housing (early 1900s homes and bungalows near downtown, postwar neighborhoods, and student rentals near UCR)

Signs it needs a professional

  • Sewer smell outside
  • Soggy or sunken areas over the line
  • Gurgling toilets
  • Any of the above in a Riverside home that has not had its plumbing checked in years

Why Riverside homes need sewer line repair

We focus on the northern part of Riverside, the side closest to our Rialto shop. That includes Downtown around the Mission Inn and Main Street, the Northside neighborhood, the University area near UC Riverside, and the streets around Fairmount Park and Mount Rubidoux.

Older Riverside homes often have clay or cast-iron laterals that crack and separate at the joints over time. Riverside Public Utilities supplies most of the city from groundwater, and the water is hard, so scale build-up on valves, heaters and fixtures is common.

Serving all of Riverside

North Riverside has some of the oldest homes in the region, with early 1900s houses and bungalows near downtown and postwar neighborhoods further out. Near UC Riverside there are many rentals and older homes that have been converted, so the plumbing has often been changed and patched by different people over the years.

  • Downtown Riverside near the Mission Inn and Main Street
  • the Northside neighborhood
  • the University area and streets near UC Riverside
  • neighborhoods around Fairmount Park and Mount Rubidoux
  • the Hunter Park area
  • Highgrove and the area along Iowa Avenue

Working in Riverside

We get to north Riverside on the I-215 or the 60, using University Avenue, Columbia Avenue, Iowa Avenue and Market Street to reach most neighborhoods. For downtown, Main Street and Market Street are the usual routes.

Downtown Riverside and the Northside have many early 1900s homes, and the plumbing in them has usually been updated in pieces. It is not unusual to find galvanized, copper and plastic on the same property, and old clay or cast-iron sewer laterals under the yard.

Near UC Riverside, many homes are rentals with heavy use. Landlords and property managers call us for tenant calls, and we send them clear notes on what we found and fixed.

Before: we talk through the problem by phone and tell you honestly how soon we can be there. During: we explain what we find and get your OK on the price before starting. After: we test the repair with you and let you know if anything else is worth keeping an eye on.

Sewer Line Repair FAQ for Riverside

Will I know the cost before you start?

Yes. After the camera inspection, we go over the options and the price before any work begins.

Can roots be removed without repair?

Cutting roots clears the line for a while, but if they are coming in through a cracked joint, they will return until the joint is repaired.

How do I know my sewer line needs repair?

Repeated backups, roots, and a camera inspection showing cracks, sags or collapse are the clearest signs.

Yes. Call (909) 927-3194 anytime.
