Sewer Pipe Replacement Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we inspect your sewer line with a camera to see exactly what’s wrong and where. No guessing, no surprises later. You’ll see the same footage we do, so you understand exactly what needs fixing.

Next, we determine if trenchless replacement makes sense for your situation. In most cases, we can install your new sewer line through small access points without tearing up your driveway or landscaping. The old pipe gets broken up and pushed aside while the new pipe gets pulled through the same path.

The whole process typically takes one to two days depending on the length of your line. We handle the city permits, the inspections, and the cleanup. You get a new sewer line that’s designed to last 50+ years, plus a warranty that covers both materials and labor.

No Dig Sewer Line Replacement

What's Included in Your Replacement

Your sewer replacement includes everything from permits to cleanup. We pull city permits, coordinate inspections, and make sure everything meets current codes. The new pipe material is high-density polyethylene or PVC – both designed to handle Bay Area soil conditions without cracking or root intrusion.

We also include camera inspection before and after the work so you can see the problem and verify it’s completely resolved. Most jobs qualify for trenchless installation, which means minimal disruption to your landscaping and faster completion times.

Every replacement comes with a comprehensive warranty covering both the materials and our installation work. If something goes wrong, we fix it at no charge. That’s how confident we are in the quality of our sewer replacements.

How long does sewer line replacement take in Colma?

Most sewer line replacements in Colma take 1-2 days using trenchless methods. Traditional dig-and-replace can take 3-5 days plus additional time for landscape restoration. The timeline depends on the length of your sewer line, soil conditions, and whether we encounter any unexpected obstacles like other utility lines. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes during the work.

What's the difference between trenchless and traditional sewer replacement?

Traditional replacement means digging a trench from your house to the street, removing the old pipe, and installing new pipe in the trench. Trenchless replacement uses small access points to install new pipe through the existing path without major excavation. Trenchless preserves your landscaping, completes faster, and often costs less when you factor in avoiding landscape restoration. However, not every situation qualifies for trenchless methods – we’ll determine the best approach after inspecting your specific situation.

How much does sewer replacement cost in Colma, CA?

Sewer replacement costs in Colma typically range from $8,000 to $15,000 depending on the length of your line, depth, soil conditions, and replacement method. Trenchless replacement often costs less overall because you avoid landscape restoration expenses. We provide detailed written estimates that include permits, materials, labor, and cleanup – no surprise charges later. The investment makes sense when you consider that a properly installed sewer line lasts 50+ years and prevents costly emergency repairs.

Will you need to dig up my driveway or landscaping?

In most cases, no. We use trenchless technology that requires only small access points – typically one near your house and one near the street connection. Your driveway, landscaping, and walkways stay intact. However, some situations require traditional excavation due to pipe depth, severe damage, or other utility conflicts. We’ll know which method works best after our camera inspection and will explain your options clearly before starting any work.

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

We determine this through camera inspection of your sewer line. If damage is localized to one section and the rest of the pipe is in good condition, spot repairs might work. However, if you have multiple problem areas, root intrusion throughout the line, or pipes that are simply too old and deteriorated, replacement makes more financial sense. We’ll show you the camera footage and explain why we recommend repair versus replacement for your specific situation.

Do you handle permits and inspections for sewer replacement?

Yes, we handle all permits and coordinate required inspections with the City of Colma. This includes the initial permit application, scheduling inspections at the right project phases, and ensuring all work meets current plumbing codes. We’re familiar with Colma’s specific requirements and have established relationships with city inspectors. You don’t need to deal with any of the paperwork or scheduling – we manage that entire process as part of your sewer replacement service.
