Trenchless Sewer Line Repair & Replacement in Ventura

Our Trenchless Sewer Repair Process

Sewer line repair and replacement is a plumbing service required when you encounter backed up sinks, overflowing appliances, or any other plumbing issues throughout your building or house. Traditionally, sewer line repair calls for replacing old pipes that have burst by digging them up from the ground. However, the newer technologies and techniques implemented by trenchless sewer line repair don’t require digging–saving your yards, gardens, and landscaping.

Still wondering just how simple yet effective trenchless sewer repair and replacement can be? Our Gallegos Plumbing technicians have outlined our process just for you!

• Inspection. As part of offering the best plumbing services in Ventura County, our plumbing professionals provide a thorough inspection of your main sewer lines along with a free quote–second opinions are also welcome.
• Locate the Damage. After our plumbing professionals inspect your pipes and find damaged, problem areas, they then determine where the base of sewer line ends. More often than not, the beginning of your private sewer lateral starts where the main drain exits your home or building and ends typically in the middle of the street where it connects to the city's sewer main. Keep in mind that the biggest hole a plumbing professional would excavate for trenchless sewer repair would measure up to 4’ x 4’.
• Break Ground. Then, your plumbing professional will need to break ground, which can occur in a few places such as: the middle of the road, the middle of the sidewalk, or the edge of the sidewalk and street.
• Insert Pipe Liner. By accessing the damaged sewer lateral from the two excavated pits, our trenchless pipe repair professionals will then be able to pull one new continuous pipe through the path of the old pipe or insert the epoxy liner from the one direct entry point. In most cases, your plumbing technician will push a new plastic/epoxy line underground and have it hooked to the city’s main pipeline.
• Reconnection & Restoration. Afterward, our plumbing technician and/or team will reconnect lines affected during the process, fill in the two holes, and restore your floor.
• Final Inspection. Last but not least, our plumbing professionals will inspect the new line for quality assurance–because Gallegos Plumbing believes in a job done right the first time!

With the latest tools and technology, trenchless sewer work only takes a few hours, which reduces your invoice overall.
• Environmentally-Friendly & Sustainable. Unlike the traditional digging method, trenchless technology uses specialized equipment, robotics, and cameras that increase accuracy while minimizing ecological damage. Without the need for extensive digging, your property’s plant life remains intact, and the condition of your soil remains unaltered.
