First Signs Of Drain Line Issues
Even minor clogs, such as slow draining sinks or showers, can indicate deeper issues within your plumbing system. Over time, accumulations of grease, hair, and soap scum can increase pressure in your pipes, leading to corrosion, pipe bursts, or sewage backups. These problems can cause extensive damage to flooring, cabinets, and personal belongings, and may introduce foul odors, mold, and harmful bacteria into your home.
Drain Line Camera Inspection Diagnostics
To accurately diagnose hidden plumbing problems, we perform plumbing camera inspections. These cameras are inserted into the plumbing lines, providing real time visuals of the interior condition of pipes. This technology allows our technicians to pinpoint the exact location and cause of blockages with remarkable accuracy. By sending a high resolution camera through the drain lines, we can observe the inner condition of the pipes in real time, eliminating guesswork and reducing unnecessary digging or damage to your property.
In addition to locating clogs, the camera inspection reveals deeper issues such as root intrusions, pipe misalignments, corrosion, and other structural damage. It also provides a clear picture of the overall health of your plumbing system helping you prevent future problems before they escalate into costly repairs.
Pipe Bursting Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement
Pipe bursting is a powerful trenchless method used to replace severely damaged or collapsed sewer lines without digging up your entire yard. Instead of removing the old pipe, a specially designed bursting head is pulled through the existing line, breaking it apart while simultaneously installing a new high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe in its place. This process is ideal for replacing old clay, cast iron, or orangeburg pipes that have deteriorated beyond repair due to corrosion or structural failure.
Because it requires only two small access points, pipe bursting is far less invasive than traditional full or partial home repipe and is often completed in a single day. Homeowners across Riverside County appreciate the time and cost savings, especially when preserving landscaping, driveways, or patios. The new pipe is seamless, highly durable, and resistant to future blockages making pipe bursting a smart, long term solution for serious sewer line issues.
Descaling Cast Iron Drain Lines
Cast iron drain lines are fairly common in Riverside County, especially in homes built before the 1980s. At the time, cast iron was widely used for drain, waste, and vent systems due to its strength and longevity. However, over the decades, these pipes naturally develop scale buildup, thick layers of rust and mineral deposits that reduce water flow and increase the risk of clogs, backups, and pipe deterioration. Left untreated, this buildup can severely impact your home’s plumbing performance.
For homeowners with older properties, especially those that haven’t had plumbing upgrades since the 1980s, descaling is a critical first step in restoring functionality. Using specialized equipment such as high torque descaling machines and hydro jetting, our technicians can scrape away years of hardened scale from the interior walls of cast iron pipes. This process improves flow, eliminates odor, and helps prevent future blockages, without the need to dig up or replace entire sections of pipe. In many cases, a thorough descaling can extend the lifespan of aging cast iron systems significantly.
When corrosion or structural damage is more advanced, trenchless pipe lining may be recommended as a long term solution. Technologies like cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining allow us to reinforce the existing pipe with a durable epoxy liner, creating a seamless new interior without excavation. Together, descaling and trenchless restoration provide Riverside County homeowners with modern, minimally invasive solutions to preserve and protect their aging cast iron drain lines.
High Pressure Hydro Jetting
When drain lines are clogged with grease, sludge, or intrusive roots, high pressure hydro jetting offers a powerful and efficient solution. This method uses streams of water pressurized up to 4,000 PSI to blast through obstructions and flush debris out of the plumbing system. Unlike chemical drain cleaners or mechanical snaking, hydro jetting fully scours the interior walls of pipes, restoring them to near original condition without causing damage.
Hydro jetting is particularly effective for both preventative maintenance and solving recurring drainage issues. In older homes with cast iron or clay pipes, it removes scale and buildup without the abrasiveness of physical tools, making it a safer long term solution. For newer systems, it helps maintain optimal flow and prevents grease and organic material from accumulating into stubborn blockages over time.
At Accurate Leak Locators and Plumbing, we use hydro jetting as part of our multi step approach to drain line cleaning. Combined with camera inspections and descaling when needed, hydro jetting ensures your system is completely clear, sanitary, and flowing properly. It’s a fast, eco-friendly service that delivers lasting results, especially when paired with expert diagnostics and targeted pipe restoration solutions.
Epoxy Resin Drain Restoration
Epoxy resin drain restoration is a trenchless solution that allows damaged pipes to be repaired from the inside without the need for excavation. After a detailed camera inspection and professional cleaning, usually with hydro jetting or descaling, a flexible liner coated in epoxy resin is inserted into the existing pipe. Once in place, the liner is inflated, pressing the resin against the pipe walls. As the resin cures, it hardens into a seamless, durable new pipe that seals cracks, prevents leaks, and restores full flow capacity.
This method is ideal for homeowners in Riverside County dealing with aging cast iron drains, corrosion, or minor root intrusion. Since there’s no need to dig up concrete, landscaping, or flooring, epoxy restoration is faster, less disruptive, and more affordable than traditional pipe replacement. The result is a long lasting, code compliant pipe within a pipe that can extend the life of your drain system by 50 years or more.
Trenchless Sewer Line Repair
Trenchless sewer line repair is a modern solution for fixing broken, backed-up, or collapsed sewer pipes without digging long trenches. Depending on the condition of the existing line, we may suggest epoxy resin lining to seal cracks and corrosion by creating a new pipe inside the old one, or opt for pipe bursting when the damage is too extensive, fracturing the old pipe while pulling a new one into place. Both methods offer a fast, efficient way to restore full sewer function with minimal disruption to your yard, driveway, or foundation.
