Sewer Line Repair Story: Garden Grove Blvd & Palm Street

Sewer Line Repair Story Garden Grove

We had a service call from a small day spa near Garden Grove Blvd and Palm Street. Their restrooms had been clogging off and on, but this time, it flooded into the hallway. We scoped it and found a major crack in the clay line about 40 feet from the building. The line had dropped and was catching solids daily. We dug down in the rear planter, swapped the broken section with ABS, added a cleanout, and got them signed off by the inspector the next day. They stayed open using the second restroom and barely missed a beat.

How Commercial Sewer Line Repairs Work

First, we inspect the problem with a video camera and locator. This shows us the exact spot and depth of the issue—whether it’s a cracked joint, root intrusion, or pipe belly.

Then we clean out the line with a jetter or auger, so the repair doesn’t trap more mess inside. We dig carefully or use trenchless methods if the line qualifies. If it’s near utilities or a building footing, we brace and shore the area.

Once exposed, we cut out the damaged section and install a new piece—usually ABS or cast iron depending on what matches. For deeper or long repairs, we may reroute around problem zones entirely. After we backfill, we test the flow and make sure everything’s code-ready for inspection.

2025 average cost for commercial sewer line repair in Orange County runs from $2,200 to $9,000, depending on length, location, and depth.

Costly Mistakes Business Owners Make

We had one retail space that hired a handyman to patch a sewer leak with a rubber clamp. It worked for two days—then failed hard during a Saturday sale. We had to dig it up and do it right.

Another property manager let the issue go for months, thinking it was just a clog. When we finally scoped it, half the pipe was missing from root damage. They had to replace nearly the whole line, and the delay cost triple.

We’ve also seen folks assume the city is responsible past the sidewalk—but in Garden Grove, the owner is usually on the hook all the way to the main.
