Sewer Line Repair in Novato, CA

Trenchless sewer repair is a modern method of repairing or replacing underground sewer pipes without extensive excavation. Instead of digging long trenches across your yard, our technicians access the sewer line through existing cleanouts or small access points and repair the pipe from the inside.

This approach is especially effective for older Northern California homes where sewer lines often run beneath:

• Driveways
• Manicured landscaping
• Sidewalks or patios
• Home foundations

Many homes in Vacaville, Novato, and nearby areas were built decades ago using materials such as clay pipe, cast iron, or Orangeburg. Over time, these materials deteriorate and become vulnerable to damage. When combined with local soil conditions, ground movement, and aggressive tree root growth, sewer line problems become increasingly common.

Typical causes of sewer line damage include:

• Tree root intrusion breaking into older pipes
• Cracked or collapsed sewer lines
• Pipe corrosion or erosion over time
• Ground shifting and soil settling
• Repeated clogs caused by deteriorating pipe interiors
• Aging sewer materials that are no longer structurally sound

Sewer line issues often begin gradually and worsen if left unaddressed. Many homeowners first notice performance issues before realizing there is damage below the surface. If you’re experiencing any of the following, your sewer line may already be compromised:

• Frequent drain backups throughout the home
• Multiple slow drains at the same time
• Sewage odors inside or outside the home
• Wet, soggy, or sunken areas in the yard
• Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets
• Repeated drain cleaning with only temporary results

Ignoring these warning signs can lead to sewage damage, foundation issues, and costly emergency repairs, which is why early diagnosis is so important.

Every trenchless sewer project begins with a camera inspection, allowing our plumbers to view the condition of your sewer line from the inside. This ensures we accurately identify the source of the problem and recommend the most effective solution before any work begins.

Our trenchless sewer services include:

• Trenchless sewer pipe lining
• Trenchless sewer replacement
• Root intrusion repair
• Sectional pipe repairs
• Sewer line restoration

Because no two sewer systems are the same, we customize each solution based on pipe condition, length, depth, and location.

Not every sewer problem requires full replacement. Our experienced technicians evaluate the age and material of the pipe, the extent of damage, the structural integrity of the line, and any history of previous repairs. When the pipe can be structurally restored, trenchless repair may be recommended. If the line has collapsed or deteriorated beyond repair, trenchless replacement may be the best long-term solution.

Our goal is always to provide the most effective solution without unnecessary work.
