Trenchless Sewer Repair

A new sewer line without a trench across your yard.

A damaged sewer line used to mean digging up the yard, driveway or patio to reach it. Trenchless sewer repair changes that. With pipe bursting, the old line is replaced through small access points instead of one long trench, which saves landscaping, concrete and time. AccuFlow offers trenchless options in Lodi, Acampo and nearby towns, and it is not the right fit for every line, which is why we always run a video inspection first to confirm your line qualifies.

New Pipe, Same Path

New pipe follows the route of the old line, so there is no new trench to dig.

Pipe Bursting

New pipe pulled through the old line as a bursting head breaks the old pipe apart.

Root-Resistant Pipe

New pipe pulled in long continuous sections leaves roots far fewer joints to grow into.

Yard & Driveway Saved

Small access pits instead of a trench through lawn, concrete or landscaping.

How pipe bursting works

Pipe bursting pulls a cone-shaped bursting head through the old sewer line, breaking the old pipe outward into the surrounding soil while new pipe is pulled in right behind it. The new line follows the same path, can be the same size or larger, and only needs access pits at each end. It works on clay, cast iron and other pipe that is cracked, root-damaged or partly broken.

Signs you may need sewer line replacement

  • Frequent main line backups from old cast iron or clay pipe
  • A sewer line running under a driveway or patio
  • Tree roots repeatedly clogging the main drain
  • Cracked pipe causing soggy spots in the yard
  • A camera inspection showing breaks or collapse
  • Sewage odor outside the house

Is your line a good candidate?

Trenchless works best on lines with reasonable access at both ends and pipe that hasn’t collapsed in a way that blocks the bursting head. Severe bellies (sags) may still need to be dug and regraded. The camera inspection tells us which method fits, and when traditional excavation is actually the better choice, we tell you that too and price it side by side.

What to expect

After the inspection, we mark access points, set up at the cleanout and the far end of the line, and pull the new pipe through. Many jobs are finished in a day or two, and the yard is left with small patched access holes rather than a trench. Financing is available for larger sewer projects. For other sewer work, see sewer cleaning and repair.

What affects the cost of trenchless sewer repair

  • Pipe material and soil: what the old pipe is made of and what surrounds it.
  • Line length and diameter: longer and larger lines cost more.
  • Pipe condition: heavy roots or debris may need clearing before bursting.
  • Access: how many access points are needed and what sits over them.
  • Permits: required for most sewer replacements.

What customers say

★★★★★

I called the last few local plumbing contractors for estimates and Mike at Accuflow was a God send. Not only was he thousands less then previous estimates, but he offered financing for the project.

Many are. A camera inspection shows whether the pipe can be burst and replaced, or whether a collapsed section or severe sag needs traditional excavation.
Yes. Pipe bursting is a trenchless method: the old pipe is broken apart underground while new pipe is pulled through the same path, so there is no trench across the yard.
Mostly. Small access pits are still needed at the ends of the line, but you avoid a trench through the yard, driveway or patio.
New pipe installed by bursting is designed to last for decades, and with far fewer joints it resists roots much better than old clay or cast iron.
Many residential jobs are finished in one or two days after the inspection.
Yes, financing is available for larger sewer projects. Ask when you call.
