Mountain View Sewer Replacement Experts

We Know Mountain View's Sewer Challenges

We’ve been serving Mountain View since 2001, and we’ve seen it all. The clay pipes from the 1950s that are finally giving up. The tree roots that find every crack in your aging sewer line.

Mountain View’s infrastructure tells a story—89% clay pipes, many over 60 years old. We know because we’ve replaced hundreds of them. We understand the local permit requirements, the soil conditions, and exactly what works in your neighborhood.

Our trucks are stocked with the right materials for Mountain View homes. Our technicians know the difference between a quick fix and a lasting solution.

Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we inspect your sewer line with a camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with. No guesswork, no surprises. You’ll see the same footage we do.

Next, we choose the right trenchless method for your situation. Pipe bursting for severely damaged lines, or pipe lining for pipes that just need reinforcement. Both methods work from access points—no digging up your driveway or landscaping.

The actual replacement typically takes 1-2 days. We install the new pipe system, test everything thoroughly, and clean up completely. Your sewer line is stronger than it’s ever been, and your property looks exactly like it did before we arrived.

How much does sewer replacement cost in Mountain View, CA?

Sewer replacement in Mountain View typically ranges from $3,000 to $15,000, depending on the length of your sewer line and the method used. Trenchless methods often cost more upfront but save money overall because there’s no landscaping or driveway restoration needed afterward. The length of your sewer line is the biggest cost factor. Most Mountain View homes have sewer lines between 50-75 feet, but some properties require longer runs to reach the street connection. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

What's the difference between trenchless and traditional sewer replacement?

Traditional sewer replacement requires digging a trench from your house to the street, which means tearing up your yard, driveway, and potentially your landscaping. It’s messy, time-consuming, and expensive when you factor in restoration costs. Trenchless replacement works from small access points at each end of your sewer line. We either burst the old pipe and pull in a new one, or we install a new pipe lining inside the existing pipe. Your property stays intact, the work is completed faster, and you avoid the headache of rebuilding your landscape. Most Mountain View homeowners choose trenchless because it saves time, money, and stress. The only time we recommend traditional excavation is when the existing pipe is completely collapsed or severely offset.

How long does trenchless sewer replacement take?

Most trenchless sewer replacements in Mountain View are completed in 1-2 days. The actual installation typically takes 4-8 hours, depending on the length and complexity of your sewer line. Day one usually involves the camera inspection, site preparation, and beginning the replacement process. Day two focuses on completing the installation, testing the system, and final cleanup. You can use your plumbing normally throughout most of the process. Weather and soil conditions can affect timing, but we’ll keep you informed if any delays occur. The key advantage of trenchless methods is predictable scheduling—no waiting for excavation crews or dealing with weather delays that affect open trenches.

Will trenchless sewer replacement work with my old clay pipes?

Yes, trenchless methods work excellently with Mountain View’s aging clay pipe systems. In fact, clay pipes are often ideal candidates for trenchless replacement because they’re typically still structurally sound enough to support the new pipe installation. We use pipe bursting for severely damaged clay pipes, which breaks up the old pipe while simultaneously installing the new one. For clay pipes with minor damage, we can install a pipe lining that creates a new pipe within the existing clay pipe. Our camera inspection will show us exactly what condition your clay pipes are in. We’ll recommend the best trenchless method based on what we find, and explain why that approach will give you the longest-lasting results.

Do I need permits for sewer replacement in Mountain View?

Yes, sewer replacement in Mountain View requires permits, and we handle all the permitting for you. Work on your private property (from your house to the property line) requires a building permit. Work from the property line to the city main requires an excavation permit from Mountain View Public Works. We’re familiar with Mountain View’s permit requirements and inspection process. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and ensure everything meets local codes. This is included in our service—you don’t need to make trips to City Hall or deal with bureaucracy. The permit process typically adds 1-2 days to the project timeline, but we coordinate everything to minimize delays. Having proper permits protects you and ensures the work meets Mountain View’s standards for safety and durability.

How long will my new sewer line last?

The new sewer line will last 50+ years with proper maintenance. The materials we use—high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or PVC—are specifically designed to resist root intrusion, corrosion, and the soil conditions common in Mountain View. This is a significant improvement over the clay pipes installed in the 1950s and 1960s that are failing now. Modern trenchless installations also create better connections and eliminate the joint failures that plague older pipe systems. We back our work with comprehensive warranties, and many of our Mountain View customers join our Lifetime Home Care Club for ongoing maintenance and peace of mind. Regular maintenance like annual camera inspections can extend your sewer line’s life even further.
