Trenchless sewer repair, new pipe without losing the yard
When your sewer line runs under a driveway, mature trees, or the patio you just poured, open trench is an expensive way to fix a pipe. Trenchless methods replace or reline the pipe through two small access pits instead.
Bursting and lining, explained straight
Pipe bursting pulls a hardened head through the old line, fracturing it outward while towing brand-new HDPE pipe into the same path. You end up with a genuinely new pipe, full diameter, jointless, with two pits instead of a hundred feet of trench. Lining installs an epoxy-saturated sleeve inside the cleaned old pipe, which cures into a structural pipe within the pipe.
Which one fits depends on what the camera shows: how collapsed the host pipe is, what it is made of, where the connections sit. We do the assessment honestly, and when a line does not qualify for trenchless, we say that instead of forcing a method that will not hold.
How the job goes
Tell us what the water is doing
Backing up, gurgling, or smelling: the symptom picks the tooling. If sewage is rising, we walk you through damage control while a truck heads out.
Camera and diagnose
We clear the immediate blockage, then look at why it happened. Repeat problems get the camera so the cause is on screen, not in theory.
Firm price, then the fix
You see what we found and the number to fix it before work starts. Cabling, jetting, or repair, the price does not move once you say go.
Prove it and clean up
Water runs at volume, the camera confirms where it matters, and the workspace goes back the way we found it. If the same fix fails, the return trip is on us.
Where trenchless earns its keep
Under driveways, garage slabs, block walls, pool decks, and the kind of mature desert landscaping that takes twenty years to replace. The math is simple: add up what open trench would destroy and what it costs to rebuild, and compare. Frequently trenchless wins by a wide margin, and your property looks untouched the next morning.
Every trenchless job is preceded by jetting and a camera survey, and finished with a camera pass that proves the new line end to end.
Out here, the desert writes the rules
Inland Empire lots with big hardscape investments, Rancho Cucamonga and Chino Hills especially, are where trenchless saves the most demolition. In the High Desert it earns its keep under long gravel drives and the caliche layers that make deep trenching miserable.

Asked at the front door
Is trenchless as durable as a dug-in replacement?
Yes, when the line qualifies and the work is done right. Burst-in HDPE is one continuous fused pipe with no joints for roots to attack, and a properly cured liner is structural on its own. Both are rated for decades.
Does every sewer line qualify for trenchless?
No. A fully collapsed pipe cannot host a liner, and certain materials and offsets rule out bursting. The camera survey answers it definitively, and if the answer is no, we tell you rather than sell you.
How long does trenchless replacement take?
Most jobs are done in a day. Two access pits, the pull or the liner cure, reconnections, and a camera pass to prove the result. Your water is back on that evening.
What does trenchless cost against open trench?
The pipe work itself often costs more per foot, but you skip demolishing and rebuilding whatever sits above the line. We quote both paths with firm numbers whenever your line qualifies for both, and the totals make the decision obvious.
Do you camera the line afterward?
Every time. You see the new pipe end to end before we call the job finished. Correct the first time is easy to claim, so we prove it on the screen instead.
