What is Trenchless Sewer Repair?

Trenchless sewer repair is a sophisticated, technology-driven approach to fixing damaged or cracked sewer pipes without the need for traditional digging or excavation. Instead of tearing up your yard or pavement, specially designed equipment accesses problem areas through small entry points or existing cleanouts, preserving your property’s integrity.

Using state-of-the-art cameras, we conduct thorough inspections that allow us to accurately diagnose the condition of your sewer lines. Signs that you may need trenchless sewer repair include slow draining sinks, persistent sewer odors, unexplained wet spots or sinkholes in the yard, and frequent backups in plumbing fixtures.

This repair method typically involves one of two advanced techniques:

• Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) Lining: A flexible resin-saturated liner is inserted into the damaged pipe and then cured to harden, creating a seamless, corrosion-resistant new pipe within the existing one.
• Pipe Spot Repair: Localized repairs focusing on individual sections affected by cracks or root intrusion are completed without replacing the entire line.

These options extend the life of your sewer system for decades while avoiding the major costs and disruptions of open trenching.

Contra Costa County Trenchless Sewer Replacement Services

Sometimes, sewer lines are beyond repair due to severe damage, age, root damage, or collapse. In these instances, trenchless sewer replacement is an outstanding alternative to traditional pipe replacement.

Our trenchless sewer replacement services use innovative techniques such as:

• Pipe Bursting: The existing damaged pipe is fractured from inside while simultaneously pulling in a new pipe of equal or larger diameter. This method avoids extensive digging and restores full flow capacity.
• Slip Lining: A new, smaller diameter pipe is inserted into the existing pipe, providing a fresh sewer line inside the old pipe’s path.

These methods allow us to replace your sewer lines with minimal surface disturbance, preserving your landscaping, sidewalks, and hardscapes.
