We had a last minute emergency leak under our house and Art came out right away to fix the problem on a galvanized pipe. Same day fix! He was very professional and nice to me and my husband. We are very happy with the job and will be calling again in the future. Thanks Art and Rooter & Plumbing Masters!
They worked on December 31, even though it was a holiday as well as New Years, and they did an excellent job. They made sure that all the work was done professionally thank you Eric. You will always be highly recommend.

Sewer Gas Smell in the House: Where It Comes From
A sewer smell indoors means sewer gas is getting past one of the seals that keep it in the pipes: the water in a drain trap, the wax ring under a toilet, the vent stack that carries gas out through the roof, or the sewer line itself. Which one it is depends on where the smell is strongest and whether the drains are also slow.
- A dry P-trap: the U-shaped bend under every drain holds water that blocks sewer gas. In a floor drain, a guest bathroom, or a laundry sink nobody uses, that water evaporates. The smell sits in that one room, and running water in the drain for a minute makes it go away.
- A failed wax ring: the ring seals the toilet to the drain in the floor. When it fails, gas comes out around the base of the toilet, usually with a toilet that rocks or a floor that is damp around it. The ring is replaced and the toilet reset.
- A blocked or broken vent stack: the vent pipe through the roof lets air in behind draining water and lets gas out above the house. A nest or leaves in the top of it, or a pipe that has split in the attic or inside a wall, pushes gas into the house instead. Drains that gurgle along with the smell point here.
- A cracked sewer lateral or drain line: a crack in the pipe under the house or out in the yard releases gas between uses, and the smell is often strongest outdoors, near the cleanout, or in a crawlspace. Soft or unusually green patches in the yard along the line are the other sign.
If the smell is closer to rotten eggs and it is near a stove, water heater, or furnace, treat it as a possible gas leak: leave the house and call SoCalGas or 911 before anything else.
When a Sewer Smell Means a Sewer Repair
When the traps are wet, the toilet is sealed, the vent is clear, and the smell is still there, the sewer line is the next suspect, and a camera inspection is how a crack or a separated joint is found without digging. A smell that arrives with slow drains or a backup is a different case: the line is partly blocked, and the main sewer line clog symptoms explain how to tell. When the camera finds a break, the fix is a drain repair. Estimates are free, and you see the footage before anything is quoted.
Sewer Line Repair
Trenchless Sewer Repair: Lining, Pipe Bursting and Epoxy Coating
Most sewer lines can be repaired without digging up the yard or the driveway. We do three kinds of trenchless repair, and the camera footage decides which one fits the line.
- CIPP, cured-in-place pipe lining: a resin-soaked liner is pulled or inverted into the existing pipe and cured in place, leaving a new, jointless pipe inside the old one. Right for a line that is cracked or root-damaged but still holds its shape.
- Pipe bursting: a bursting head is pulled through the old pipe, breaking it outward while a new pipe follows behind it. Right for a line that is collapsed, badly offset or too far gone to line, and it can go in at the same size or larger.
- Epoxy spray coating for cast iron: the inside of a cast iron drain is cleaned and sprayed with an epoxy coating that seals the corroded wall. Right for cast iron under a slab that is rusting through but not collapsed.
- Pipe patch: a short section repaired from inside the line, without digging, when one joint or one crack is the whole problem. Not common, but it saves a trench when it fits.
Where a line is collapsed and the ground above it is open, a conventional dig-and-replace is still the honest answer, and we say so. You see the footage before any of these is quoted. Start with a sewer camera inspection, or read about cast iron drainsand drain line replacement.
We Clear and Repair the Sewer Line All the Way to the City Main
The sewer lateral runs from the house to the city's main in the street, and we clear and repair every part of it, including the stretch under the sidewalk, the parkway and the street. Who is responsible for which part is set by each city's own rules; in West Covina, for example, the homeowner owns the connection all the way to the main. Whatever your city's rule, the work on your side of it does not stop at the property line.
Additional Information
Signs Your Sewer Line Needs Repair
There are several signs that your sewer line might need repair. Here are some of the most common ones:
- Multiple Slow Drains: If several drains in your house become sluggish regularly, it suggests a blockage or damage deeper in the system, possibly the sewer line.
- Sewage Smells: A noticeable sewage stench around your drains or even outdoors near the sewer cleanout signifies a potential leak in the sewer line.
- Gurgling Noises: Gurgling sounds emanating from your drains indicate trapped air in the pipes, often due to a clog or partial blockage in the sewer line.
- Toilet Water Level Fluctuations: If the water level in your toilet bowl fluctuates or seems abnormally high, it could be a sign that a clog in the sewer line is preventing proper drainage.
- Soggy Patches in the Yard: Sewage leaks underground can cause soft, wet areas to develop in your yard, particularly near the sewer line.
If you notice any of these signs, it's important to call a professional plumber to diagnose the problem and recommend the best course of action. Early detection and repair can prevent further damage to your plumbing system and your property.
Tips for Maintaining Your Sewer System
Unlike the plumbing fixtures and drains you're more likely to be familiar with, it can be tough to pinpoint a sewer issue. If you're not accustomed to routine maintenance and you don't often get your sewer system professionally serviced, then a problem can go unnoticed for a very long time. Unfortunately, long-term neglect can lead to bigger sewer problems that require expensive repairs.
There are several things you can do to keep your sewer working reliably, such as:
- Getting routine sewer maintenance: While it's true that many sewer pipes are designed to last for decades, that doesn't mean you shouldn't perform at least annual sewer checks.
- Being conscious of what ends up in your sewer: Foreign objects or substances like grease can cause disruptions in your system, resulting in blockages and sometimes even resulting in leaks or pipe bursts. Pay attention to what goes down your pipes to keep the system healthy for the long term.
- Getting professional assistance: Our certified team is trained to handle any sewer job. We have the best tools available to keep your sewer clean and functioning. You don't need the stress of trying to handle things yourself. We're happy to offer our services throughout the San Gabriel Valley and the surrounding areas.
