Our Trenchless Services

Our comprehensive list of services includes sewer, water, and lead line repair and replacement as well as jetting. Lean more information on each service below.

Sewer Line Repair and Replacement

Method: Trenchless sewer line replacement utilizes techniques like pipe bursting or pipe relining to repair or replace damaged sewer pipes.

Benefits: Similar to trenchless water line replacement, trenchless sewer line replacement minimizes excavation, preserves landscaping, and reduces project duration. It is an efficient and environmentally friendly solution, providing long-lasting results.

The trenchless pipe bursting method we use allows us to fix your pipe in a timely manner, whereas your standard plumbing or building company may take much longer. Upon receiving a call about a sewer issue, we’ll send someone to come and diagnose the problem as soon as possible. Using high-tech cameras and locating equipment we are able to look into the pipe and find the exact source of your problem.

Water Line Repair and Replacement

Method: Trenchless water line replacement involves inserting a new pipe into the existing damaged pipe, creating a seamless and durable solution.

Benefits: This method eliminates the need for extensive digging, minimizing disruption to landscaping, driveways, and other structures. It is faster, more cost-effective, and reduces the risk of damage to existing utilities.

Using our trenchless methods we can replace your service in as little as one day! If you have low water pressure, an increased water bill, or water damage we can find the source.

Once we explore and find out whether you have a water leak or old clogged galvanized water pipes, we replace the water service using our trenchless horizontal directional drill. Our horizontal drill allows us to replace your water service by digging minimal holes, saving you from the stressful and expensive trenching mess.

Lead Line Repair and Replacement

Method: Lead line replacement involves the removal and replacement of old lead pipes, which pose health risks due to potential lead contamination.

Benefits: Replacing lead lines is crucial for ensuring safe drinking water. Trenchless methods can be employed, such as pipe lining or pipe pulling, to avoid excavation and quickly replace lead pipes, safeguarding the health of occupants.

Lead pipes were commonly used for water distribution in the past, but their use has been phased out due to the health risks associated with lead exposure. Lead is a toxic metal that can leach into the water supply, posing significant health hazards.

If you’re living in DC, you may be eligible for the Lead Pipe Replacement Assistance Program (LPRAP). We’ll work with LPRAP to help determine eligibility. Depending on your household size and income, you may qualify for up to 80-100% assistance. Each property owner can receive (up to $2,500), regardless of income.

Jetting

Do your toilets, sinks, or tubs drain slowly? If so, it may be time to descale or replace your pipes. This happens because old cast iron sewer pipes build up grease, calcium, and rust inside the pipes. This causes their flow to be restricted.

Using our flex shaft descaler and jetting equipment, we’re able to clean the insides of your pipes. This thorough cleaning extends their lifespan.
