Sewer line repair & replacement

Roots, cracked clay pipe, offset joints and sagging bellies are behind most recurring backups. We locate the failure on camera, then repair the damaged section or replace the line, using trenchless methods whenever the ground and the pipe allow it.

Sewer camera inspection

A waterproof camera travels through your sewer line and records what is really inside: roots, breaks, buildup or a belly. You watch the footage, we mark the location and depth, and you choose the repair with evidence in hand.

Trenchless pipe lining

A resin-saturated liner is pulled into the existing pipe and cured in place, forming a new seamless pipe inside the old one. No trench across your lawn, driveway or landscaping, and far less cleanup when the job is done.

Minimal digging and restoration
Seals cracks and root entry points
Works under slabs, driveways and trees

Pipe bursting

When a line is too far gone to line, pipe bursting pulls a new HDPE pipe along the path of the old one while fracturing the old pipe outward. A full replacement through two small access points instead of an open trench.

Hydro jetting

High-pressure water scours grease, scale, sludge and roots off the pipe walls and restores full flow, instead of punching a small hole through the clog the way a drain snake does.

Leak detection

Hidden leaks under slabs, inside walls or underground quietly raise water bills and damage foundations. Professional locating equipment pinpoints the leak so the repair opening stays as small as possible.

Sewer camera inspection

Diagnose before you dig.

Recurring backups usually point to a problem in the main line, and guessing at it gets expensive fast. A sewer camera inspection puts the inside of your pipe on screen, so roots, cracks, offset joints and bellies are found, located and recorded before anyone quotes a major repair.

No repair on a hunch. Every recommendation is backed by footage you can see.
Smaller, smarter digging. The exact spot and depth are marked from the surface.
Options, not pressure. Cleaning, spot repair, trenchless or replacement, compared side by side.

From first call to a clear plan

Tell us what changed

Call or book online and describe the symptom: which drains, how often, any odor or water where it should not be. Photos and video help us come prepared.
Inspect the line on camera

We run the camera through the line from an accessible cleanout and record the full run, so roots, cracks, offsets and bellies end up on video, not on a guess.
Locate and mark the problem

Pipe locating equipment pinpoints the failure from the surface, including its depth, so any excavation is small and exactly where it needs to be.
Choose the repair path

You see the footage and get clear options: hydro jetting, a spot repair, trenchless lining or bursting, or a traditional replacement. You decide what makes sense.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. New Flow came out to my mothers house in Reseda and was able to clear the main line blockage. They were there within an hour and had very reasonable pricing. While there they identified another problem with the pipping(it is a 100 year old house lol) and came up with an option to replace some of the pipping.
Definitely will be using them again for any problems down in the valley.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Whenever something goes wrong at our North Hollywood condo property, Art answers the phone day or night, which is why New Flow Plumbing has handled our plumbing since the place was built. Just last week a huge problem hit at 10:00 pm with all the tenants stressing out, but they had someone walking through the door in twenty minutes to get it taken care of. They show up ready to work seven days a week for the small stuff and the emergencies alike, so I always know we are covered.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a sewage back up at a unit and Art was able to take care of my problem. Due to it being an older house it had quite significant problems (old piping, no clear out,etc). He took care of the clog, add clear out, and also discovered the toilets that were installed were incorrect ones since forever and replaced both toilets as well. He also gave me advice on what he would do with the current drainage problem and what he would do temporarily, and or the future for my piping. Was very reasonably priced. 100% satisfied with the service he provided.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shower was way too cold. Looked at the tank and could tell it was completely done, so we reached out to New flow to fix the plumbing in Granada Hills. The tech got the new hot water heater put in and even cleaned up some sloppy copper fittings left behind from our previous remodel so everything lined up straight. He was wrapped up and out the door by 3p, and the hot water was running before he left.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Water was backing up into both my toilet and bathtub from a main line clog. A few plumbers gave weird replies, including one guy who threw out a random quote without even checking the pipes. I usually handle small things myself, but I needed real help here. Art came in and mapped out the whole line, running a camera to show me the blockages on the screen. He pushed past 60 feet clearing tree roots and debris, explaining the fix as he went. The final bill matched his quote. Thanks to them I can finally take a shower.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great work from the best plumbers in the valley. I had a pretty big job done. They replaced the main water pipe out to the street. It was completed on time and they kept me informed during the down time (waiting for the city to approve the permit.) I would use them again. They are pleasant to work with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you need a reliable plumber in Valley Village, save their number right now. Our new tenants moved into our rental last weekend and immediately hit us with a no hot water text. Found New Flow on Google, liked what I saw on their page, and gave them a call.
Arman sent someone out just a few hours later. We looked at the old twenty year unit and agreed a full replacement made the most sense. They knocked it out the exact same day, saved my weekend, and kept the tenants happy. Already passed his name to a buddy of mine who hired him shortly after.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My parent's toilet was leaking and after messaging different places, I told my parents this place could fix our problem. Arman was the one who helped us out and after talking to him about a possible broken wax ring, he found the actual problem, roots in our pipes. He hydrojetted the roots and installed something to help keep the roots from growing for the next few years. So if you're have problems related to pipes, my family and I highly recommend coming here.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been calling New Flow for plumbing services ever since they warned us six years ago that our ancient drain pipes were on their last legs. When the system finally failed, we shopped around for bids on a full repipe. Every single plumber gave us quotes without stepping foot under the house, except them. The team crawled under there, filmed the pipes, and showed us that our water lines were still completely fine. Arman gave us a fair quote for just the drains, and his crew finished the work in one day. Hard to find contractors this upfront and genuine.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot compliment New Flow Plumbing enough. They were recommended by our selling real estate agent for a sewage line inspection. They came out quickly, and Arman was very professional and polite right away. He was able to service the sewage line, provide thorough, expert knowledge, and give us recommendations. The pricing is excellent and fair, and I would definitely recommend using their services again. The HD video was provided for our own viewing, and it was emailed to us within hours of the visit. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

5 stars does not do it justice.

Thanks again!!

Our homepage special is a $199 sewer camera inspection. Promotion availability and service-area eligibility are confirmed when you schedule. The inspection shows the condition of the line, the location and depth of any problem, and gives you evidence before you pay for a repair.

In most cases, yes. Recurring backups, slow drains across several fixtures, sewage odors and buying an older home are all good reasons to inspect. A camera inspection replaces guessing with footage, so you avoid paying for the wrong repair or digging in the wrong place.

Trenchless sewer repair fixes or replaces a sewer line through small access points instead of an open trench. With pipe lining, a resin liner is cured inside the old pipe to form a new seamless pipe. With pipe bursting, a new pipe is pulled through the old path while the old pipe is broken outward. A camera inspection tells us which method fits your line.

It depends on the depth and length of the line, the type of damage, access, and whether a spot repair, trenchless method or full replacement is the right fix. We do not quote major sewer work blind. We inspect the line first, then give you clear options and pricing based on what the camera actually shows. Start with a camera inspection.

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour grease, scale, sludge and roots off the inside of a pipe and restore full flow. It is safe for most lines in sound condition. On older or damaged pipes we check the line with a camera first, because a cracked or collapsed section may need repair before jetting.

In the City of Los Angeles, property owners are generally responsible for their sewer lateral, the pipe that runs from the house to the connection with the public sewer main. Rules can differ in other cities, so check with your local public works department. A camera inspection shows where the problem is located along the line.

It depends on your policy. Many standard policies exclude wear, tree roots and gradual deterioration, and sewer backup coverage is often a separate endorsement. Check with your insurance provider. If you file a claim, the inspection footage and our documentation of the cause can help support it.
