Trenchless sewer line repairs are a half-century-old solution to a longstanding problem. Since the first plumbing systems were installed thousands of years ago, there has always been a need to periodically dig up old lines and perform repairs and replacements.

The invention of trenchless techniques in the 1970s expedited this process, reducing the overall time, cost, and complexity of sewer line repairs. The technologies available today mean that most damaged sewer lines can be restored using trenchless techniques.

At Caccia Plumbing, our licensed and insured plumbers have extensive experience applying trenchless techniques for our clients in San Mateo and beyond. We have the required training and certifications and the specialized tools and advanced systems to install reliable solutions that will deliver long-term performance.

Benefits of Trenchless Sewer Repair

There are plenty of reasons why we recommend trenchless sewer line repairs in San Mateo. The benefits of trenchless repairs include:

  • Protects landscaping: Trenchless sewer repairs help protect your lawn, patio, sidewalk, deck, etc. from damage. This minimizes disruption and eliminates the cost of restoring landscaping when repairs are complete.
  • Saves time: Trenchless repairs are faster because they require less preparation and cleanup. Unlike trench repairs that require digging up the pipe, trenchless techniques use an epoxy balloon that’s inserted and inflated within the existing pipe. This is faster and more efficient.
  • Saves money: Trenchless sewer line repairs require less equipment, less preparation, and less work, which makes them considerably less expensive than traditional trenching techniques.
  • Protects utilities: Trenchless repairs don’t require digging, which means there’s no risk to gas, telephone, or fiber optic lines.
