You may be dreading your sewer repair in Clayton, but it doesn’t have to be the mess you’re anticipating. Trenchless Solutions offers trenchless sewer repairs, which means we don’t dig out your lawn. We offer straightforward, less messy sewer repair that doesn’t interfere with your life. Plus, we can replace your old pipe with a newer, stronger type of pipe. Learn how it works below.
Is the Sewer Repair My Responsibility?
Shouldn’t the city or municipal government step in to fix your sewer? It depends. In many areas, the homeowner is responsible for all of the sewer lateral leading out to the mainline, as long as that lateral is still on their property. We can tell you where the issue is and who should be responsible for it.
Local Sewer Problems We Commonly See in Concord
We regularly help homeowners throughout Concord with:
- Root intrusion from mature trees damaging older clay sewer lines
- Collapsed or offset pipes caused by soil movement and aging infrastructure
- Frequent backups in homes built before modern ABS sewer piping became standard
- Sewer odors caused by cracked underground drain lines
- Corroded cast iron sewer systems in older properties
Because these problems can look similar on the surface, we begin every project with a detailed sewer camera inspection to identify the exact cause before recommending repairs.
Why Call Trenchless Solutions?
Sewer Inspection Services
Before we start on any sewer repair or replacement job, the first step is scheduling a sewer inspection. This quick and affordable process consists of one of our technicians feeding a specialized camera into your later line through the sanitary sewer cleanout. Then, we run the length of your line to determine the location of any clogs, cracks, or other issues that could impact structural integrity.
What to Expect from the Sewer Inspection Process
The process itself is very quick and simple. It usually takes under an hour to finish. During that time, the technician will only need access to your sewer cleanout access, which is typically somewhere in your front yard. Once it’s done, we’ll deliver the video footage we captured so you can have it for your record keeping, and in case there are any other parties involved (such as a landscaper who damaged your yard.)
What if I Choose Not to Go Ahead with a Repair or Replacement?
Sometimes, the damage is limited and there aren’t clear signs that it will get worse in the short term. In those cases, it may just take a quick sewer jetting to restore your main line to full working order. In others, we might just have to fish debris out of the line.
No matter what you choose to do with the information, it’s better to have it and not need it. Catching a sewer issue before the line fails can easily save you thousands of dollars in additional damage, such as backed up sewage.

How Does Trenchless Repair Work?
Trenchless sewer repair involves minimal shoveling and damage to your property. Here’s how it works:
- First, we dig a small access hole at one end of your sewer line, close to the problem area. This is a small hole and much less invasive that digging a trench along the whole length of your sewer line.
- Next we use a hydraulic winch to push your old pipe out of the ground. We can push out as much pipe as needs to be replaced.
- Then we use hydraulic tools to pull new pipe into place. We prefer to install a new type of sewer pipe made of polyethylene. It’s very strong and slick, preventing future damage and clogs in your sewer.
- Finally, we fill in and clean up the access holes, repairing any sod or landscaping that was damaged in the process.
We Also Offer Trenched Sevices
Despite what you might think, trenchless sewer repair isn’t your only option. There are many situations where a trenched sewer repair simply makes more sense.
- If the sewer lateral is short and excavation would be minimal, it can be cheaper
- If the area has poor access that limits our use of heavy machinery
- If the sewer line is completely collapsed and no longer has a salvageable structure
- If preserving your landscaping isn’t a priority
Each situation is different, which is why we work closely with each client to understand their options and help them choose the right method for their needs.
