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.

Our qualified technicians will find the cause of the sewer drain problem and have the experience to advise you on the best possible solution to resolve the drain problem.

Our qualified technicians Are Equipped To Handle Clogged Or Slow Drain Problems With The Right Equipment.

When it comes to sewer & drain cleaning plumbers need the right equipment, we have every drain cleaning machine from large machines to handle the main sewer drain to smaller electric powered hand snake for a kitchen sink or bathtub clog. Our cable sewer & drain cleaning machines come in different sizes each specifically designed to clean each of the different drains, like large 8″ main sewer drains and small 1-1/2 vanity sink drains. The cable machines have cutting blades that rotate inside the stopped drain boring through the sewer drain blockage and removing the obstruction through brute force allowing the water to wash it down the drain.

How Do We Handle Grease And Debris Blockages?

Magic Plumbing & Drain has been serving San Francisco for over 32 years. Back then we were know as Magic Rooter we specialized in sewer & drain cleaning we were the first local company to use Hydro-Jet technology. The Hydro Jet machine uses high pressured water to scour the inside of the drain, this scouring action removes all the debris that has built up in the drain over time. We use different nozzles on our machine to serve a special purpose, for basic dirt clogs we use a jetter nozzle that sprays backwards pushing the debris away into the main sewer sewer drain.

Each Magic truck has an industrial Hydro-Jet machine installed, when we arrive onsite we have all the equipment we need to solve any sewer drain drain problem within minutes.

For tough grease clogs like in restaurants and apartment buildings we use a jetter nozzle that spins inside the pipe. This spinning action forces high powered water at a near 90 degree angle to the pipe wall, this action breaks up the grease destroying it within minutes allowing it to flow like liquid away into the main sewer drain. If the same was done with a regular jetting nozzle large sections of grease will still hold to the sides of the pipe, the drain problem with this is those pieces fall into the sewer drain and due to their size become logged at bends and clog the main sewer drain again.

We have a drain maintenance program to keep drain pipes flowing fee and clear all the time, this is mostly used by restaurants that have to battle drains clogged with grease.

So if you have grease in your drain and it keeps backing up, in most cases the problem is incorrect equipment being used and the technique the pipe cleaner is using.

This is a long-lasting solution to unblock a drain full of grease, soap or sand, and the most economical way to fix a stopped sewer drain and to make sure the sewer drain is as good as new.
