Sewer & Trenchless · Sierra foothills

Sewer lines fixed — without turning your yard into a trench

Camera inspection, spot repairs, and trenchless replacement that pulls a new line through the old one. We've replaced sewer laterals under gold-rush-era Main Streets and hundred-year oaks — there's usually a way that doesn't destroy what's above.

Crew carrying a new sewer line to the trench in Sutter Creek
No. 01

First, the camera — so nobody guesses

Before anyone quotes you a sewer replacement, the line gets a camera run. You see what we see: roots at the joints, a bellied section holding water, cracked clay, or collapsed Orangeburg. The video decides whether you need a spot fix or a full lateral — not a sales pitch.

No. 02

Trenchless, when it fits

Pipe bursting pulls a new HDPE line through the path of the old one with two access pits instead of a forty-foot trench. It spares driveways, mature trees, stone walls and the garden your grandmother planted. Where the line is too collapsed to pull, we dig honest trenches and put things back the way we found them — our gallery is full of exactly that work.

Old-town plumbing is our specialty

Sutter Creek, Jackson, Placerville — these downtowns run some of the oldest sewer laterals in California. We know what's under them because we've been under them, for 25 years.

Straight answers

How do I know if my sewer line is failing?

Repeat main-line backups, sewage smell in the yard, one suspiciously green stripe of lawn, or slow drains through the whole house. A camera inspection settles it.

Is trenchless as durable as open-trench replacement?

Yes — the pulled HDPE line is seamless and root-proof, typically rated for 50+ years.

Do you handle the county permits?

Yes, including the sewer district sign-offs where towns require them.
