We called another plumber originally and had them come out in the middle of the night to clean out the drains. He said he found roots in our pipes and that he couldn't clean the pipes out completely becuase we did not have a clean out installed to get better access and use the bigger tools. A couple weeks after this, our toilet started to back up again and we knew we had to do something, so we called the same guy to come back and install the clean out by the house. After installing the clean out, he informed us that we had clay pipes and that the tree roots had destroyed whole parts of the pipes, so we needed to replace the pipes. He originally said he would install trenchless iron pipes for $8,900, but we decided that we needed to get a second opinion for such a huge expense. He then offered to knock down the price to $7,900 if we agreed to allow him to do the work right then, which we declined. We got a personal reference to Brinks and they arrived at the scheduled time. They did a camera down the pipe free of charge because the previous plumber did not take a video when he did the camera inspection, as is a normal business practice for most plumbers. Brinks gave us a quote to intall trenchless plastic pipes for only $4,200 and they said for that price they would also install a second clean out by the road so we would be covered if the city's sewer line ever backed up. They offered all of their work with a 75 year warranty. We agreed to go with Brinks and they got to work the next day while my husband and I were at work. One of their workers accidentally hit our water line while digging up the area to install the clean out by the road, but they promptly informed us of this and fixed everything for free. We had to go without water for one night, but that was by our choice because the plumber informed us that they would stay there to fix it that night, but there was a higher risk of the pipes bursting when they turned the water back on at night because it was so cold. He left it up to us and we decided to go without water for that night. While they were replacing the pipe, they had to cut a huge tree root that was running parallel with the line. They also discovered that the previous plumber had installed illegal parts for the clean out by the house that was not up to code. We agreed to allow them to replace the parts up to code for a little more money than the original quote. When they were done with all of the work, they cleaned up after themselves, put all the dirt back in the holes and replanted my bushes that were located directly above the pipes."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ca/san-diego/brinks-investigation-restoration-services-inc-reviews-138659.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Mega Dry Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"CA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Lani M."},"reviewBody":"Approximately 2 weeks after Gerardo and Pablo cleaned all the carpets in our newly purchased (short-sale) home, we had a clog in in our main water line which caused a back-up from the sewer to the master and guest bathrooms, resulting in seepage through the wall into the guest bedroom carpet. After the plumbing problem was corrected, we called Megadry Carpet Cleaning again, and Gerardo was quick to make the 40-minute drive up to our home to investigate the horrible smell which now emanated from the guest bedroom. We all knew that mildew had set into the carpet and the stench could now be smelled upon entering the front door of our home. Gerardo quickly removed the baseboards, brought up the section of wet carpet, cut out the wet padding, and spread disinfectant on the concrete foundation and wet carpet. He then returned to his shop and returned with a dehumidifier and a powerful fan. The fan he placed in the master bathroom where the flooding originated and the dehumidifier he put between the foundation and wet carpet in the bedroom. The rooms were closed off. The next day we switched the equipment to the opposite rooms, and the third day switched them back again. When Gerardo and Pablo returned, not only was the carpet in the guest bedroom perfectly dry and smelling great, but the previously swollen bathroom door which had no longer closed since the overflow was back to normal and closed perfectly! In addition,Gerardo and Pablo completely vacuumed and re-cleaned all the areas in the house that had been impacted by the flooding problem. Also, they retreated a few spots that remained from their first cleaning, very effectively. I would also like to add a commendation for Sylvia, the company office manager. From the Megadry office she completely coordinated the scheduling of the whole job in a very professional manner. I found her to be so professional, ethical, friendly and helpful, and, in my opinion, such an assert to the company. Even in the background, her organizational skills and wonderful business ethics were outstanding. She took extra measures to insure that I was able to communicate with Gerardo as needed. This is an upstanding, outstanding company which I will recommend to all my friends."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ca/san-diego/mega-dry-carpet-and-upholstery-cleaning-reviews-215439.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Septic Solutions","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"CA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Marian H."},"reviewBody":"We live in a 1951 house in Escondido. There is no sewer on our section of the street and our home has relied on an old concrete 800 gal septic tank. We have known for some time that the tank was leaky and wasn't going to last forever (It had problems when we first moved in 20 years ago that were sort of patched up by the previous owner). We wanted to fix things up so first we went to the city and asked about hooking up to the sewer. The city told us there was no sewer but if there was, it would cost about 8000 dollars just for a permit to hookup! The rule is that you are required to hookup to the sewer if there is a line within 200 feet of your connection point. So we went to the county and they gave us a long list of licensed septic contractors. We did not know who to choose so we asked the company that normally pumps our tank and they recommended Septic Solutions. They said they were honest and they had been around a while. We contacted Septic Solutions and they came out the next week to look things over and give us an estimate. They were able to start the next week. They brought their equipment in Tuesday morning and the tank was also delivered. Next the old tank had to be pumped out before they could start digging. They started digging about one in the afternoon and had the new tank hooked up and functioning within 4 hours. They arranged for the inspector to come out the next working day and when everything was signed off, they filled in the old tank and covered up the new one. Overall they did a great job, they were knowledgeable, friendly and very entertaining.

Sewer Line Repair reviews from real Angi homeowners in Escondido, CA
I needed someone experienced and careful enough to clean out tree roots in a sewer line which had been epoxied some years earlier. I needed a camera diagnosis of why this lining had failed. They stepped up to the plate, and spent time above and beyond the call of duty to explain the dilemma....

Job took 3 days and involved over 90 feet of sewer line. The top 80 feet (give or take a few) was replaced with a seamless pipe, but because of the run of the pipe under the street and the limitations with the City, the last dozen feet or so had to be done as a liner. Everything was...

"We originally wanted to wait until our spa was fully finished to leave a review, but we just had to rave about Gabe and his team. They have been SO easy to work with—and when you’re opening a second spa location in San Diego, easy is everything. Gabe moved fast (he’ll be done by Monday—EEK!), and for business owners, time is money, so having a contractor who’s in and out efficiently is HUGE. During the project, he discovered some mold in the building. Not only did he notify the property owners immediately, but he also took care of the remediation, followed all proper protocols, and handled it all on his own. We’re forever grateful for how quickly and professionally he resolved it. Honestly, our favorite thing about working with Gabe is how he consistently goes above and beyond—especially in ways we didn’t expect, which meant a lot to us as two female business owners. We never once felt taken advantage of, which sadly can be a rare experience in this industry. To give you an idea of how fast he worked: our space includes five treatment rooms, two storage rooms, a kitchen, an office, and a lobby. He redesigned and completed the whole buildout in just over a month. He’s also a great communicator—sending us frequent updates, photos, and videos of the progress, which gave us so much peace of mind since we couldn’t always be on-site. His pricing is incredibly fair and, in our opinion, makes him unmatched in this industry. His work is impeccable, and it doesn’t break the bank. We truly could not recommend Gabe and his team more!"

"Carini installed my mini splits a few years ago and promised me the world with their warranties. Well, turns out they botched something during the install and all of the refrigerant leaked out. They want $2,200 to refill and re-pressurize the line. Since they cross-threaded the screw that led to the leak during installation, this should be covered under the "Lifetime Craftsmanship" guarantee. Instead, they're trying to charging me a full day of labor to fix their mistake. Support on this issue has been dismal. It's been 16 days since they first diagnosed the problem and I still don't have a timeline for when this will get fixed. I chose Carini because of their warranties and their service record, but its all smoke and mirrors. You've been warned."

FAQs for sewer line repair projects in Escondido, CA
The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.
The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
