About Our Sewer Line Services
Sewer line issues can be just as intricate as the infrastructure beneath your home—and they often originate far beyond what you flush. That’s why our services are designed to address the full scope of sewer concerns, offering thorough repair, targeted cleaning, and expert replacement for everything from aging residences to brand-new ADUs.
We take a full-system approach to ensure wastewater flows properly from your home to the municipal sewer or septic system—doing so with precision, care, and as little disruption to your property as possible:
Unclog Pipes:
Whether you’re dealing with severe sludge or stubborn obstructions, our team utilizes both standard mechanical tools and advanced techniques such as Hydro Jetting. This high-pressure water system effectively clears sewer lines of waste buildup, restoring full flow and preventing future blockages.
Drain Snake:
For blockages that require a more targeted approach, we deploy heavy-duty augers nd professional drain snakes. These flexible tools are skillfully guided through your pipes to dislodge and break up clogs, ensuring your system drains smoothly once again.
Camera Snake:
When the root of the problem lies underground or beyond interior piping, we rely on camera snaking technology. These diagnostic tools allow us to inspect deep within your yard’s sewer lines, uncovering issues like crushed Orangeburg pipes, root infiltration, leaks, and other structural damage with pinpoint accuracy.
P-Traps:
Although your home isn’t equipped with a sewage treatment plant, it can still be protected against unpleasant smells. With expert P-trap installation, we’ll create a reliable water seal in your plumbing to block dangerous gases and keep your living space fresh and safe.


Grease Traps:
Even with routine drain use, both new and old plumbing systems can accumulate grease. Our technicians offer comprehensive grease trap cleaning and installation services to safeguard your sewer lines from the thick residue that causes slow drainage and costly clogs.
Clean Outs:
To maintain a healthy sewer system, periodic deep cleaning is key. We utilize methods such as Hydro Jetting to clear out years of built-up debris, sediment, and waste—leaving your sewer lines in optimal working condition.
Re-piping:
If your existing sanitary lines are cracked, outdated, or repeatedly failing, we can upgrade your plumbing with durable modern options. We install ABS and PVC piping that resists rust, tree root intrusion, and structural failure—bringing long-term reliability to your entire system.

We had a hot water pipe leak under our slab and fished around for quotes from a few companies after our initial quote came out to ~$6K. Marco was a referral from a friend and he came out the same day I called him, and came back the next day and completed the work in a few hours! He’s a really nice guy and very knowledgeable. He is also reasonably priced. Could not recommend them more! Mike2024-06-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I asked Marco at waterfront plumbing to come in and snake my drains since I had an emergency with my sewer backup from the toilet. He had his guys come in the next 2 hours of the call, and cleared up my lines. Very happy with the service and comfortable with the pricing.

Absolutely! Our plumbing team is available around the clock, seven days a week, to handle urgent issues like sewer line blockages, pipe fractures, and more. Whether you’re dealing with a water heater failure, a serious gas leak, or a cold or hot water line malfunction, we’re fully equipped to provide immediate assistance at any hour.
We prioritize rapid response times and, in most cases, can dispatch a technician the very same day. If you’re located in Vista or neighboring areas, we strive to arrive within a few hours and resolve your sewer line issue—often in three hours or less—depending on the complexity of the problem.
Sewer line damage isn’t always obvious, but there are several warning signs to watch for. These include drains that empty slowly, strange bubbling or gurgling sounds from your pipes, persistent bad smells, or unexplained wet patches in your yard. These symptoms can all indicate a broken or clogged line that needs attention.
Yes, root invasion is a very common issue. Tree roots are responsible for nearly half of all sewer line problems, particularly in older systems made of clay or cast iron. Once roots penetrate small cracks, they continue to grow, ultimately leading to serious obstructions or full collapses. Our team uses specialized equipment to clear roots and restore the pipe’s integrity through professional re-piping.
Depending on the type and severity of the blockage, we select the best approach for the job. Many clogs can be handled with traditional drain snaking, but for tougher buildup—like grease, tree roots, or sediment—we offer Hydro Jetting. This powerful technique utilizes high-pressure water to thoroughly clean the interior of pipes and restore full flow.
Yes, we do. Our team performs advanced camera inspections that give us a real-time look inside your sewer line. This process is non-destructive and eco-friendly, allowing us to locate issues such as debris buildup, root encroachment, pipe fractures, or full collapse—all without digging up your property.
While it’s common for people to only reach out when there’s a backup or major leak, we strongly recommend setting up yearly sewer line evaluations. Routine inspections and cleanings can catch minor issues before they become expensive emergencies and extend the life of your plumbing system.
In addition to comprehensive sewer solutions, Waterfront Plumbing provides a full suite of water and gas plumbing services. This includes locating hidden leaks, upgrading plumbing systems through re-piping, installing modern tankless water heaters, servicing or replacing valves, and managing gas line installation. Our technicians also offer hydro jetting, an advanced cleaning method known for its efficiency in clearing stubborn clogs.
Pricing varies based on the scope and severity of the problem, the type of material involved, and the method required for resolution. For the most accurate estimate tailored to your property, we encourage you to contact us directly for a personalized consultation.
Yes! We’re happy to provide no-cost estimates to homeowners and business owners alike. Whether you reach out by phone, send us a text, or contact us through email, we’ll respond promptly to get the process started.
