My home is an older home in the downtown San Francisco area and I knew that I would have to fix the home’s sewer line at some point because the line was having problems long before I ever moved in.  It was not until several years after I moved in that the problems started to get worse. 

I put off fixing the sewer line for two reasons.  One was that I did not want to destroy the yard and have to replace all the landscaping.  The other was that I knew that aside from replacing all the landscaping, the standard method of replacing a sewer line was costly.  I put it off as long as I could, until I heard about trenchless sewer replacement.

I call one of the few professional plumbers in San Francisco that had the equipment to do a trenchless sewer replacement and they gave me an estimate that was far less than I had expected.  They also said that they would be able to save most if not all of my yard’s landscaping and the best part is that they did not have to dig up my sprinkler system in the process.

The whole job only took a few days and like magic they were in and out in no time.  Now that I have know what goes into a trenchless sewer replacement, I have to say that if any consumer is needing to fix their sewer line they should find someone with the experience to fix it like magic.

A clogged sink does not have to remain a problem for long.  There is no reason to continuously plunge it day after day.  It is possible that the clogged sink is just a symptom of some other problem in the drainage line that might take a professional to attend to.     

There is no reason to expect the clogged sink to just start draining normally like magic.  Plumbing problems can sometimes require a professional with the right tools for the job.  In San Francisco there are hundreds of different plumbers to call, but how do you know you are getting the right one for the job?  A few simple tips can help.

First, spend a few minutes doing some research to find the professional plumber that the professionals themselves call.  The Internet can be a great resource for this and these are some great questions to ask:  Who does the city of San Francisco use for some of their plumbing work?  Who has years of experience in the area?  And, which plumbing contractors in San Francisco are well versed in all aspects of plumbing construction and repair?

With one simple call to a professional plumber, most clogged sink problems can be fixed in no time, without the worry that you are going to come home one day and find standing water on the floor of your home because a pipe backed up.  In most cases, a good professional plumber in San Francisco will also check to make sure that all of the drain lines are also clear to give you total piece of mind.    

Well, trenchless sewer line replacement is now a way of the future. The old way of replacing a sewer drain is to dig up the old pipe, by hand or with a machine, and install in a new one. This way is very labor intensive and can be very expensive when a line is in a difficult position, such as under a house, a road or under concrete.

The trenchless replacement technology saves money, grief and time and is particularly efficient when the sewer drain is under a house.

So how does trenchless sewer replacement work?

Using this new sewer pipe replacement method we excavate a hole at the building where the good pipe begins and we then excavete a small hole at the end of the sewer pipe near the curb at the street. We expose the sewer drain in each hole and cut out small sections of pipe. Next, we feed a large 3/4 inch steel cable between the two excavations. connected to this cable is a large metal cone shaped head that breaks the old pipe in place to exactly the size of the new trenchless sewer pipe. The new sewer drain is actually a black plastic pipe between 5 or 7 inches in diameter. This sewer drain is fused together by melting the ends of the pipe and joining them to create one continuous length of sewer drain without any joints, eliminating tree roots from entering the pipe.

As we pull the cable through the sewer drain with 10 tons of pressure, the splitting head bursts the old sewer drain and pushes it out of the way making room for the new sewer drain.

The actual replacement of the sewer drain usually only takes a few hours and the work can be done within one day. There is no problem pulling through under driveways or even residential and commercial buildings. This trenchless replacement technology works well and because the new sewer drain has no joints, is flexible so it will never crack or break and no roots can get into it.

The new sewer drain also called HDPE pipe is very smooth internally so the drain is very efficient for water, debris and toilet solids to flow freely.
