Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement Process

Here's What Actually Happens

First, we run a camera inspection to see exactly what’s wrong with your sewer line. No guessing, no unnecessary work. The camera shows us cracks, blockages, root intrusion, and pipe condition in real-time. You’ll see exactly what we’re seeing.

Next, we create small access points—usually one at your house and one at the street connection. Our trenchless equipment pulls new, durable piping through the existing line, essentially creating a new sewer system without the excavation nightmare.

The new pipe is fusion-welded for a seamless connection from your house to the main sewer line. We test everything, clean up the small access holes, and you’re back to normal. Most jobs finish in 1-3 days, depending on length and complexity. Your biggest inconvenience is probably finding somewhere else to park your car.

What You Actually Get

Every sewer replacement includes a complete camera inspection, detailed diagnosis, and transparent pricing before we start any work. You’ll know exactly what needs to be done and what it costs. No surprises, no change orders, no “we found something else” conversations.

We handle all permit requirements and coordinate with local authorities. In the Bay Area, sewer work often requires specific compliance with environmental regulations—we know the rules and handle the paperwork. You don’t have to figure out city requirements or chase down inspectors.

Our replacement work comes with warranties on both materials and labor. The new piping is designed to last 50-100 years, and we stand behind our installation. You also get detailed documentation for your records and future reference. This isn’t just a repair—it’s a long-term investment in your property.

How much does sewer replacement cost in Ashby, CA?

Sewer replacement costs typically range from $3,000 to $15,000, depending on the length of your sewer line and the complexity of the job. Trenchless replacement usually costs $60-$250 per linear foot, including materials and labor. The final price depends on factors like how deep your sewer line is buried, whether there are obstacles like tree roots, and the type of piping we’re installing. We provide detailed estimates after our camera inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Traditional excavation might seem cheaper upfront, but when you factor in landscaping restoration, driveway repair, and extended labor costs, trenchless replacement often saves money overall. Plus, you avoid weeks of construction disruption.

How long does trenchless sewer replacement take?

Most trenchless sewer replacements take 1-3 days to complete, depending on the length of your sewer line and site conditions. That’s significantly faster than traditional excavation, which can take a week or more. The process is efficient because we’re not digging long trenches or dealing with extensive restoration work afterward. We create small access points, run the new piping through, and clean up the work areas. Most of our time is spent on the actual pipe installation, not cleanup. Weather can affect timing, and complex jobs with multiple connections might take longer. But you’ll have a clear timeline before we start, and we’ll keep you updated if anything changes during the work.

Will trenchless sewer replacement damage my landscaping?

Trenchless replacement creates minimal damage to your property. We typically need two small access holes—one near your house and one at the street connection. Each hole is usually 3-4 feet by 3-4 feet. Your landscaping, driveway, sidewalks, and other hardscaping remain intact. There’s no long trench running across your property, no heavy equipment driving over your lawn, and no weeks of restoration work afterward. We restore the small access areas to match your existing surface, whether that’s grass, concrete, or pavement. Most homeowners are surprised at how little disruption there actually is compared to what they expected. Your biggest concern will be where to put the small pile of dirt for a day or two.

What causes sewer lines to fail in older Bay Area homes?

Many Bay Area homes have sewer lines that are 50-100+ years old, originally installed with clay or cast iron piping. Clay pipes are particularly vulnerable to tree root intrusion and ground movement, which is common in our area. Root infiltration is the biggest culprit—tree roots seek out moisture and nutrients, finding their way into small cracks in aging pipes. Over time, roots grow larger and break the pipe apart completely. We’ve pulled root masses the size of basketballs out of old sewer lines. Ground shifting from earthquakes, soil settlement, and seasonal moisture changes also stress older pipes. Combined with normal wear and corrosion, these factors eventually lead to cracks, breaks, and complete pipe failure.

Do I need permits for sewer replacement in Ashby?

Yes, sewer replacement work requires permits in most Bay Area jurisdictions. The specific requirements depend on your local municipality and the scope of work being done. We handle all permit applications and coordinate with local authorities as part of our service. This includes submitting plans, scheduling inspections, and ensuring the work meets all local codes and environmental regulations. Permit costs are typically included in our project estimates, so you won’t face surprise fees. We also handle the inspection process and provide you with all final documentation for your records. One less thing for you to worry about.

How do I know if I need sewer replacement versus repair?

The camera inspection tells us exactly what condition your sewer line is in. Minor issues like small cracks or isolated blockages can often be repaired with spot fixes or cleaning. Replacement becomes necessary when there’s extensive damage, multiple problem areas, or structural failure of the pipe. If your sewer line has frequent backups, multiple cracks, or significant root intrusion, replacement is usually the most cost-effective long-term solution. We’ll show you the camera footage and explain what we’re seeing. You’ll understand exactly why we’re recommending repair versus replacement, and you can make an informed decision based on the actual condition of your pipes. No sales pitch, just facts.
