Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement Process

How We Replace Your Sewer Line

First, we perform a video camera inspection of your sewer line. You’ll see exactly what’s wrong and where the problem is located. No guesswork, no surprises.

Next, we dig two small access holes—one near your home and one by the street where your line connects to the city main. That’s it. No massive trenches destroying your driveway, landscaping, or walkways.

Then we use our pipe bursting equipment to break apart your old sewer line while simultaneously pulling a new, durable pipe through the same path. The new line is installed in the exact same location as the old one, but it’s stronger and built to last decades.

Finally, we test everything to ensure proper flow and connection. We clean up our work area, and you’re back to normal life—usually the same day we started.

San Leandro’s aging infrastructure means many homes are dealing with sewer lines that are 40, 50, even 70 years old. Clay pipes crack, cast iron corrodes, and tree roots find their way into joints. Traditional replacement meant digging up your entire yard, but trenchless technology saves you 30-40% compared to conventional methods.

How much does trenchless sewer replacement cost in San Leandro?

Trenchless sewer replacement typically costs 30-40% less than traditional dig-and-replace methods. The exact cost depends on the length of pipe being replaced, depth of the line, and soil conditions. Most San Leandro homeowners save thousands compared to traditional replacement because there’s no need to restore landscaping, driveways, or walkways afterward. You’re also avoiding the hidden costs of traditional methods—like replanting destroyed landscaping or repairing damaged hardscaping. We provide upfront, transparent pricing after our video inspection shows exactly what needs to be done. No surprises, no hidden fees, and no pressure to buy services you don’t need.
Most trenchless sewer replacements in San Leandro are completed in one day. The actual replacement process typically takes 4-8 hours, depending on the length of pipe and access conditions. Traditional sewer replacement can take a week or more when you factor in excavation, pipe installation, backfilling, and landscape restoration. Our trenchless method eliminates most of that time because we’re not digging up your entire yard. The process starts with a video inspection to map out the problem areas, followed by the actual replacement work. We clean up completely before we leave, so you can get back to normal life immediately.
Trenchless replacement works for most San Leandro homes, especially those with aging clay, cast iron, or PVC sewer lines. The method is particularly effective for pipes that are cracked, offset, or infiltrated with tree roots. We can replace pipes ranging from 2 inches to 6 inches in diameter, which covers virtually all residential sewer laterals. The key requirement is having adequate access points at both ends of the pipe run. Our video inspection will determine if your specific situation is a good candidate for trenchless replacement. In rare cases where trenchless isn’t feasible, we’ll explain why and discuss alternative solutions that minimize disruption to your property.
San Leandro’s sewer infrastructure includes pipes that are decades old, with some dating back over 70 years. Clay pipes crack due to ground movement and age, while cast iron pipes corrode from the inside out. Tree root intrusion is extremely common in our area. Roots seek out moisture and nutrients, finding their way into pipe joints and cracks. Once inside, they grow and expand, eventually blocking the entire pipe. Ground settlement, earthquakes, and normal wear and tear also contribute to sewer line failure. The good news is that modern trenchless replacement methods install pipes that are designed to resist these common failure modes for decades to come.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency sewer replacement services throughout San Leandro. Sewer emergencies don’t wait for convenient times, and neither do we. When you’re dealing with sewage backing up into your home or raw sewage surfacing in your yard, you need immediate help. Our emergency team can often provide temporary solutions to stop the immediate problem, then schedule permanent trenchless replacement as soon as possible. We understand that sewer emergencies are stressful and disruptive. Our goal is to get your system working safely as quickly as possible, then provide a permanent solution that prevents future emergencies.
Modern trenchless sewer lines are designed to last 50-100 years under normal conditions. The high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes we install are resistant to corrosion, root intrusion, and ground movement. Unlike older clay or cast iron pipes, HDPE doesn’t deteriorate from acidic soil conditions or normal sewage flow. The seamless construction eliminates the weak joints where roots typically enter traditional pipes. We back our trenchless installations with a comprehensive warranty because we’re confident in the longevity of these systems. Most homeowners never need to think about their sewer line again after trenchless replacement.
