Straight answer: a simple drain cleaning runs about $100–$350, hydro jetting $350–$825, and a full sewer line replacement $4,000–$15,000+ depending on method. Here’s what everything actually costs in Southern California in 2026 — and the hidden charge that surprises homeowners most.

The Hidden Cost: Landscaping Restoration
Open-trench replacement tears up your yard — and putting it back together runs $2,000–$10,000+. That’s the number most quotes leave out, and it’s a big reason trenchless methods (with our 20-year warranty on lining work) often win on total cost even when the per-foot price looks higher.
What Moves Your Price Up or Down
- Up: deep lines, concrete or mature landscaping over the pipe, collapsed sections that rule out lining, permits and street work.
- Down: a camera inspection first (so you only fix what’s broken), trenchless methods where the pipe qualifies, catching root intrusion early.
Note: some figures above are national 2026 baselines; Southern California typically runs ~50% higher due to cost of living. Treat national numbers as a floor.
