Sewer Pipe Replacement Process

Here's How We Handle It

First, we run a camera through your existing line to see exactly what’s happening. You’ll watch the footage with us and understand the problem before we recommend any solution.

Next, we map out the most efficient replacement route. In most cases, we use trenchless methods that require minimal digging. We access your sewer line through small entry points rather than tearing up your entire yard.

We install new, durable pipe material designed to handle Burlingame’s soil conditions. The whole process typically takes 1-3 days depending on the length of line being replaced. We clean up completely and restore any disturbed areas.

How long does sewer replacement take in Burlingame?

Most residential sewer replacements in Burlingame take 1-3 days to complete. The timeline depends on the length of pipe being replaced and whether we encounter any complications like tree roots or unexpected soil conditions. Trenchless methods are typically faster than traditional dig-and-replace approaches. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront based on your specific situation and keep you updated throughout the process.

Will you destroy my landscaping and driveway?

With trenchless sewer replacement, we minimize disruption to your property. Instead of digging a long trench, we create small access points to reach your sewer line. Most landscaping, driveways, and walkways remain untouched. When traditional excavation is necessary, we carefully remove and replace any affected areas. We always discuss the approach with you before starting and choose the method that causes the least disruption to your property.

How much does sewer pipe replacement cost?

Sewer replacement costs in Burlingame typically range from $8,000 to $25,000 depending on the length of pipe, depth, access challenges, and replacement method used. Trenchless options often cost more upfront but save money on landscaping restoration. We provide detailed written estimates after inspecting your specific situation. Our pricing includes all permits, materials, labor, and cleanup – no surprise charges after we start the work.

Do you handle Burlingame city permits and inspections?

Yes, we handle all permit applications and coordinate required inspections with the City of Burlingame. We’re familiar with local sewer lateral compliance requirements and ensure your replacement meets all municipal codes. This includes proper connections to city mains and any documentation needed for compliance deadlines. We’ll schedule inspections at the right stages and provide you with all final approval paperwork for your records.

What happens if you find other problems during replacement?

Our camera inspection usually reveals the full scope of problems before we start digging. If we discover additional issues during the replacement – like damaged connections or unexpected root intrusion – we stop work and discuss options with you first. We never proceed with extra work without your approval and updated pricing. Most surprises are minor and don’t significantly impact the timeline or cost, but transparency is important to us.

How do I know if I need full replacement versus repair?

Our camera inspection shows exactly what’s wrong with your sewer line. If you have multiple breaks, extensive root damage, or pipe that’s deteriorated beyond repair, replacement is usually the better long-term solution. Repairs work well for isolated problems in otherwise healthy pipes. We’ll show you the camera footage and explain why we’re recommending replacement versus repair. The goal is solving your problem permanently, not just temporarily patching it.
