Sewer Line Repair Cost Calculator for San Diego
Choose the work, add the length if you know it, and say where the line runs. You get our typical range, what pushes it higher, and the City fees that apply. No contact details needed, and it updates as you go.
Estimate your line
The method and the length set the range. The other answers say what pushes your job up or down within it; they never change the range itself.
Our typical range
$4,000 to $15,000
Our typical range for lining a full residential lateral is $4,000 to $15,000. Enter a length for a per-foot figure.
What moves your price
- Worth knowingLining needs a continuous pipe that holds its shape. A collapse or a sag that holds water rules it out, and that needs digging or bursting instead.
- Keeps it lowerLawn or planting over the line is the cheapest surface to restore.
Your answers point toward the lower half of the range.
Permit and City fees
- No-plan plumbing permit, residential repair (DSD IB 103)$264.25
City of San Diego Development Services fees. Plan check applies when the connection needs plans rather than Rapid Review.
Not included
Surface restoration beyond what is scoped, cleanout installation, street work beyond the City fees, and anything the camera has not yet found. Your quote says which of these it includes.
These are our typical ranges, not a quote. Your final price comes from a written quote after we see the job.
How the calculator works
| Method | Our typical range | Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Lining (CIPP) | $80 to $250 per foot; $4,000 to $15,000 per lateral | A continuous line that can be lined |
| Trench replacement | $50 to $250 per foot | Before permits and restoration |
| Pipe bursting | $60 to $200 per foot | Before pit restoration and permits |
| Excavated spot repair | $1,500 to $5,000 per repair | One shallow section |
| Camera inspection | $100 to $500 | Through an existing cleanout |
| Hydro jetting | $350 to $600 | Clearing, not a repair |
| New cleanout | $500 to $3,500 | Depth and surface set the price |
A per-foot range is multiplied only by the length you enter. Surface, depth, cleanout and street answers add notes; there is no fair way to turn them into a percentage, so the calculator does not try. We price street work from its own scope, and your final price comes from a written quote after we see the job.
