How Do I Know if I Need Sewer Repair?
Before making the call to bring in outside help, it’s best to know how to recognize the signs that your system is acting up. Knowing what is causing the problem can save you, and your plumber valuable time and effort in diagnosing and fixing the problem.
Some things to look for are:
- Higher water bill
- Trees near the lateral line grow quicker than usual
- Sinks and tubs are slow to drain
- Water backs up in sinks, toilets, and tubs
- Odd or foul odors coming from your pipes or lawn
- Sunken or wet patches on your lawn
Recognizing these signs will help you in the long run. If you notice these signs, be sure to schedule a sewer inspection ASAP.

So you think you know what’s causing the problem with your system, but now it’s time to turn to the experts. We at Trenchless Solutions believe that the least invasive method is the best method.
Our team uses the best in video inspection technology to diagnose your problem without the hassle of unnecessary work. We can determine the most effective entry point to navigate the camera through your home’s pipes and quickly figure out the issue. That means pinpointing leaks in your sewer pipe, finding a blockage that causes clogs, or figuring out why your landscaping drainage no longer works. By feeding our camera in through your sanitary cleanout, we can provide this information without any damage to your landscaping or property.
A camera inspection can also provide a variety of financial guarantees and peace of mind. Camera probes can determine if the issue is on your property, or part of the city’s jurisdiction, which can determine if you need to pay for the repair or. For example, city sewer lines are the city’s responsibility to maintain, so if the problem isn’t with your lateral, you typically won’t have to pay for anything beyond the initial inspection. We can also show you how to contact the city for repairs.
Last but not least, a main-line inspection can also provide you with more detailed information about the status of your system if you’re in the market to sell your house.
Fast & Reliable Sewer Replacement
Even the best sewer line won’t last forever. Whether you have a cast iron, PVC, ABS, or even an Orangeburg line, eventually your line will fail. In Martinez, that’s usually due to cracks, root invasion, or line collapse.
The good news is that Trenchless Solutions handles sewer replacement faster than anyone. Our trenchless sewer replacement works just like minimally-invasive surgery: instead of excavating the whole area, we open a small access point at one end of the line and feed all of the equipment in through it. That means less digging, less disruption to your yard, and significantly faster replacement. Most of our replacements are performed in less than a day, which means you won’t have to plan your whole week around getting your sewer line replaced.
Cured In Place Pipe
The key to trenchless sewer replacement is a cured in place pipe, or CIPP. The new sewer line is delivered in a soft form, fed into your existing sewer line, and hardens, or cures, in place. Depending on the state of your old sewer line, we may opt for pipe bursting, which dislodges your old line, or pipe lining, which relies on the structure of your old line.
Either way, you’ll be left with a durable, long-lasting sewer line that will keep running with minimal cleaning and jetting for decades to come.
Trenchless Sewer Repair
Typically, with sewer repair, a lot of digging is involved. This can mean property and landscape damage to your home that can be expensive to fix after the fact. We provide a different alternative to digging. Trenchless repair is a process that significantly reduces the digging, excavation, and damage to your property. It’s a quicker, less complicated method of lateral replacement that can save you a lot of time and money. Here’s how we do it.
- Two small access holes are dug at appropriate spots on the sewer lateral line.
- A hydraulic winch is placed in one of the holes, which is used to break apart and remove as much old pipe as we can.
- The winch is then used to pull the new, stronger polyethylene pipe through the old pipe hole.
- We fill in both access holes, repairing any potentially damaged landscape in the process
Since our plumbers specialize in sewer line repair, our team can typically complete the entire process in only a day or two.
How Much Does Sewer Repair Cost?

We’ll provide an honest and upfront fee estimate before beginning work.
Factors that affect cost include:
- Sewer length

- Accessibility to the pipe
- Condition of the sewer

Sewer Cleaning Services
Sometimes, you don’t actually need repairs. If the integrity of your main line is still good, and the issue is just with debris buildup and blockages, then jetting or sewer cleaning can fix it for a fraction of the cost. Clogs caused by grease buildups, sewage, and foreign objects are all treatable using jetting or cleaning.
The best way to determine if sewer cleaning is an option for your property is to first schedule a video inspection. Call or contact us today to get started.
