trenchless sewer FAQs

Is trenchless replacement as durable as traditional methods?

Yes—modern trenchless pipes are designed to last 50+ years.

Most can, but we’ll inspect your line with a camera first to confirm suitability.

Many trenchless projects are completed in 1–2 days, compared to a week or more for traditional excavation.

Upfront costs can be similar or slightly higher, but you save on landscape restoration and downtime.

Why Marin & Sonoma County Homeowners Are Switching to Trenchless

We recently worked with a family in the Dominican neighborhood whose clay sewer pipe collapsed under their front yard. Traditional repair would have meant tearing out their mature landscaping and brick walkway. Using trenchless pipe bursting, we replaced the line in two days with minimal disruption, saving them thousands in restoration costs.

How Trenchless Sewer Replacement Works

pipe bursting

We pull a new pipe through the existing damaged one, breaking the old pipe apart as we go. The result is a brand-new, seamless pipe in the same location.
