At Pride Plumbing, Drain Cleaning & Water Heater Repair, we believe you should know what plumbing services cost before you call. Since 2015, our local, family- and woman-owned team has served homes and businesses across Redlands and the Inland Empire. Every appointment starts with a free on-site consultation and visual inspection. Your technician then offers multiple options before work begins.

Local conditions affect Redlands plumbing costs. Many older neighborhoods still have clay or cast iron sewer lines, and mature trees send roots hunting for water during our long, dry summers. Hard water also leaves mineral scale inside drain lines, so two homes on the same street can see very different bills.

Sewer Repair Pricing

Sewer repair ranges from about $650 to $50,000, depending on the job. A simple repair on an exposed drain line starts at $650 and often stays under $1,000. Full replacements cost more due to labor and digging.

Here are typical sewer price ranges.

What Affects Sewer Repair Cost

Pipe depth and length carry the most weight in sewer pricing. Lines deeper than 3 feet may cost more, especially with rocky ground, large tree roots, or landscaping in the way. A shallow line less than 3 feet deep and less than 6 feet long, located in an open yard, usually falls at the low end of the price range. Lines under the home or concrete need saw cutting, a rough patch, and extra care to protect your belongings. Work near the street or public right-of-way can add permits, traffic control, and city backfill rules, which we include in the estimate.

Pipe size affects price more than pipe material. The exception is Orangeburg pipe, found in some homes built between 1940 and 1960, which must be replaced rather than repaired. With several problem areas, lining or bursting the whole line often beats paying for repeated spot repairs.

What's Included in a Sewer Estimate

Most sewer work begins with a camera inspection, starting at $350. That cost is credited toward your repair if you approve the estimate within 30 days. Repair estimates cover excavation, trenchless equipment when it fits, the repair itself, backfill, site cleanup, and final testing. Concrete or asphalt gets a rough patch, but final landscaping is not included. Permits are optional and usually add $500 to $1,000, depending on your city.

Trenchless vs. Traditional Repair

Trenchless options usually cost less than digging, since they take less labor and skip most restoration. Lining won’t work with major offsets, collapsed pipe, Orangeburg, or missing sections. Bursting won’t work with collapsed pipe, tight access, or lines with too many turns.

Spot repairs take about 1 day, lining and bursting take 2 to 3 days, and traditional replacement takes 2 to 5 days. Your drains are only off for about 1 to 3 hours on a spot repair, or 2 to 6 hours for lining or bursting. New pipe from excavations and spot repairs carries up to a one-year warranty. Full replacements, lining, and bursting carry up to 5 years on new pipe and up to one year on drainage.

Drain Cleaning Pricing

Residential drain cleaning ranges from $185 to $2,000. Clearing a sewer drain through an accessible cleanout starts at $185. Jobs near the high end usually involve a camera inspection and hydro jetting.

Here are typical snaking prices by drain type.

What Affects Drain Cleaning Cost

Pride Plumbing uses flat-rate pricing that includes all materials and equipment. Your price is based on access, complexity, and the method needed. Costs go up with hard-to-reach lines, tree roots, multiple clogged drains, or having to pull a toilet, remove a P-trap, or move appliances.

Older pipes with roots, scale, or corrosion can also raise the price. The low end applies to easy-to-reach clogs in newer piping near the cleanout that can be cleared with standard cabling. Standard drain cleaning includes diagnosis, access, snaking, a drainage test, cleanup, and recommendations.

Snaking vs. Hydro Jetting

Snaking costs $185 to $385 and pokes a path through most clogs. It works well for newer homes with ABS lines and paper waste clogs. Snaking does not come with a warranty.

Hydro jetting costs $1,250 to $2,500 and uses high-pressure water to scrub the inside of the pipe. We recommend it for kitchen and laundry lines, cast iron pipes, root problems, and recurring backups. Every jetting job includes a camera inspection before and after and may carry a 30- to 90-day warranty based on line condition.

After-Hours and Savings

We’re available 24/7. A $285 dispatch fee applies from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m., on Sundays, and on select holidays, and it does not go toward the work. Saturday appointments cost nothing extra. You can also save by bundling same-day services, and repeat customers can get up to 10% off service calls.
