Sewer Pipe Replacement Process Mill Valley

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we inspect your existing sewer line with a camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with. No guessing, no surprises later. You’ll see the same footage we do.

Next, we dig two small access points – typically near your house and at the street connection. These are about the size of a bathtub, not the massive trenches you’re probably imagining.

Then we use trenchless technology to pull the new pipe through the old route underground. The new pipe is stronger, longer-lasting, and installed without touching your driveway, garden, or that expensive patio you put in last year. The whole process typically takes 1-2 days instead of weeks.

Sewer replacement costs in Mill Valley typically range from $8,000 to $15,000, depending on the length of your sewer line and site conditions. Trenchless replacement often costs less than traditional dig-and-replace methods when you factor in landscaping restoration. We provide upfront pricing after inspecting your specific situation, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. Most homeowners find the investment worthwhile considering they won’t need to think about their sewer system for decades.
No. Trenchless sewer replacement preserves your existing landscaping and hardscaping. We only dig two small access points – one near your house and one near the street connection. These areas are typically 4×8 feet, about the size of a bathtub. Your driveway, garden beds, mature trees, and patio stay untouched. This is the biggest advantage of modern trenchless technology over old-school excavation methods that required digging up your entire yard.
Most sewer line replacements in Mill Valley take 1-2 days using trenchless methods. The actual installation happens in hours, but we factor in permit approvals, inspections, and any prep work needed. Traditional excavation methods can take weeks when you include restoration time. Weather and site conditions can affect timing, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront. You won’t be dealing with a construction zone for weeks on end.
Mill Valley requires specific permits for sewer line replacement, and we handle all the paperwork for you. This includes the initial permit application, scheduling required inspections, and ensuring everything meets local codes. The city needs to inspect the work before we backfill, which we coordinate directly. You don’t need to figure out Mill Valley’s requirements or stand in line at city hall – that’s part of our service.
If your sewer line has multiple problem areas, frequent backups, or is over 40 years old, replacement usually makes more sense than repeated repairs. We start with a camera inspection to show you exactly what’s happening underground. You’ll see the same footage we do, including any cracks, root intrusion, or pipe deterioration. Sometimes a targeted repair works fine, but if we’re looking at an aging system with multiple issues, replacement saves you from future headaches and emergency calls.
Yes, we warranty both our installation work and help you understand the manufacturer warranties on materials. The new pipes themselves are designed to last 50+ years under normal conditions. Our installation warranty covers any issues with our workmanship. We also make sure you have all documentation needed if you ever sell your home – buyers appreciate knowing the sewer system is modern and reliable. Most homeowners never need to use the warranty, but it’s there for peace of mind.
