New Project : Sewer Line Repair & Epoxy Coating in Chatsworth, CA

Team Rooter Plumbing responded to a home in Chatsworth where both bathrooms were backed up. After a camera inspection, we recommended descaling and hydro jetting the existing cast-iron pipes to clear buildup and restore flow. The process covered approximately 60 feet of piping, and we also attempted to remove roots from the clay pipe leading to the street.

After descaling, we discovered a compromised section of cast iron in the bedroom/office area. To properly repair it, we advised removing personal items before excavating through the concrete and dirt. Once the damaged section was replaced, we continued the drain inspection to ensure everything was clear.

To extend the life of the pipes, we applied an epoxy coating to the newly repaired sections, including the closet bends and main drains in the restrooms. This involved removing the toilets, coating both 3-inch and 4-inch sewer drains, and resetting the toilets once the work was completed. The team then backfilled and replaced the concrete in the bedroom.

For a permanent solution, we installed a full-length epoxy liner using the Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) process. This included a full video inspection, thorough cleaning, and inserting a resin-saturated liner to create a smooth, jointless interior. After final testing and cleanup, the home’s sewer system was fully restored, providing a long-lasting fix for the homeowners.
