Signs That You Need Sewer Repair
Your sewer system is a very ‘out of sight, out of mind’ part of your home. Generally, it’s not the first thing on your mind. At least, it isn’t until things start to go wrong.
So how do you know if you’re in need of sewer repair? While it’s always a good call to call a plumber for a sewer video inspection to receive an official diagnosis of your system, there are clues you can look for on your own.
The signs can be quite obvious at times, though other instances may be more difficult to spot. A few things to be on the lookout for include:
- Multiple bathtubs, showers, and/or sinks are slow to drain
- Recurring clogs or multiple, simultaneous clogs
- Sewage backing up through drains
- Outdoor sewer drain backing up
- Significant clogs that require sewer jetting or extensive sewer cleaning
- Strange or foul odors come from the drains or pipes
- Recurring overflowing toilets
- Plants and trees near sewer line grow at quicker rate than usual, indicating that tree roots could have grown into your sewer line
- Sunken, wet, or bubbled patches in your lawn or yard
- Higher water bill than usual
- Drain line leaks
How Trenchless Sewer Repair Works
Traditional, trenched sewer repair involves digging through your lawn and landscaping to excavate your sewer pipe, also known as the sewer lateral, or sanitary sewer. This process is labor intensive, slow, and can cause significant damage to your landscaping.
Trenchless sewer line repair is a simpler, cost-effective solution to traditional sewer repair. It eliminates the need to dig up the entirety of the sewer lateral, instead requiring only minimal excavation for two access holes.
Trenchless sewer repair is also a process that requires significantly less time than traditional sewer repair work. The entire process takes mere hours, and can be finished within a day.
- Two holes are dug at specific points at each end of the sewer line
- A hydraulic winch pushes through one end of the line, breaking apart and removing the old pipe. This is called “pipe bursting.”
- The winch then pulls a new pipe through the old hole
- The pipe is connected at both ends back to the sewer system
- The hole is properly filled and compacted
- Any landscape damage incurred during the digging process is restored
Trenchless repair is a viable option for many issues with your sewer pipes, including removing debris and blockage, repairing multiple cracks, and dealing with tree root invasions. However, trenchless repair isn’t appropriate for all kinds of situations. Shorter sewer laterals and sewer laterals with poor access can be better served with trenched sewer repairs. Other kinds of drainage issues, such as grease build ups and basic clog repair, can sometimes be fixed with drain cleaning, rooter service, or jetting service.

Fast & Professional Sewer Video Inspections
We believe the best way to diagnose the problem with a sewer line should be efficient and non-disruptive. The less digging we do on your property, the better. That’s why we offer sewer inspections via video cameras. These cameras are attached to long snaking lines that we are able to slip through your plumbing.
In doing so, we are able to see a live feed inside of your pipes, and can easily diagnose what and where the issue lies in your system. That’s why scheduling a camera inspection is the best way to determine what kind of sewer service you need and what it will require. Alternatively, our plumbers can help determine if the issue is in your sewer line or the city municipalities’ public main, and can conclude if it city’s responsibility to repair. We can also submit our findings about the city sewer line that requires a clean-out or repair, helping expedite the process.
Trusted Trenchless Sewer Repair in Orinda
Orinda homes often present unique sewer repair challenges due to aging underground infrastructure, mature tree growth, hillside terrain, and older clay or cast iron sewer systems. At Trenchless Solutions, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing these problems using trenchless technology designed to minimize excavation and protect your property.
Common Sewer Problems We See in Orinda
Many Orinda properties experience sewer issues caused by:
- Root intrusion from mature trees damaging older clay pipes
- Pipe separations or offsets caused by hillside soil movement
- Corroded cast iron sewer lines in older homes
- Frequent backups from grease buildup and aging pipe walls
- Cracked sewer laterals allowing groundwater intrusion
Because these issues occur underground, accurate diagnosis is critical. We use professional sewer camera inspections to identify the exact location and condition of the pipe before recommending repairs.
