The sewer lateral is the underground pipe that carries waste from your home to the public sewer main. Over time, these lines crack, collapse, or clog due to:
Root intrusion
Pipe corrosion
Ground shifting
Old materials (like clay or Orangeburg)

What is the trenchless method for sewer replacement?
Trenchless methods allow us to replace or reline your sewer line without digging up your entire yard. We use small access points and techniques like pipe bursting (pulling a new pipe through the old one) or CIPP lining (curing a liner inside the existing pipe), giving you a modern, clean, and efficient solution.
How do I know if trenchless is right for my property?
We start with a sewer camera inspection to check your pipe’s condition, material, depth, and slope. If the line isn’t collapsed and has the right access points, trenchless is usually a great fit. We’ll advise you honestly based on what’s best for your home and city code.
How long does a trenchless sewer replacement take?
Most jobs take just 1 to 2 days, including camera inspection, permit handling, pipe replacement, and basic surface restoration. Compared to traditional trenching, it’s faster, less disruptive, and more cost-effective in the long run.
Will you damage my landscaping or driveway?
No — that’s the benefit of trenchless. We dig small entry and exit pits, usually near your home and the city connection. Your lawn, walkway, and driveway remain intact, and we restore any disturbed areas as part of the job.
What’s the difference between pipe bursting and CIPP lining?
Do you handle permits and city inspections?
Yes. We take care of everything — permits, utility markings, and city coordination (including SFPUC, EBMUD, or your local sewer agency). Our team ensures your new line is fully compliant and approved, so you don’t have to lift a finger.
