If you’re considering a trenchless sewer line replacement in Sacramento, CA, contact our team today.

Comparing Traditional Vs. Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement

When a sewer line is severely damaged—cracked, corroded, or collapsed in places—a full replacement is often the only real solution. You have two options: traditional trenching or a trenchless sewer line replacement.

  • Trenching means digging a long, open trench through your yard to access and replace the pipe. It gets the job done, but it can also tear up your lawn, landscaping, driveway, or even sidewalks. Cleanup and restoration afterward also add extra time and money.
  • Trenchless sewer line replacement, on the other hand, uses specialized equipment to replace the pipe underground with minimal digging. It’s faster, less invasive, and ideal for properties where preserving the yard, trees, or hardscaping is important. 


For many Sacramento homeowners, a trenchless replacement offers the best of both worlds: a permanent fix without the big mess. We’ll help you understand your options and recommend what’s best for your home.

Replace Your Sewer Line Without Digging‒Yes, It’s Possible!

Not every sewer line qualifies for trenchless replacement, but when it does, it can save you time, stress, and money. But to work, certain conditions need to be met. Here’s when a trenchless sewer line replacement is typically a good option:

  • The Line Is Mostly Intact: If the existing sewer line hasn’t completely collapsed and still has a clear path, we can often use pipe bursting or pipe lining without digging.
  • There’s Minimal Root or Soil Damage: Trenchless usually works well when damage is from a crack or offset—not major root intrusion or shifting ground.
  • Your Landscaping or Hardscaping is in the Way: If your sewer line runs under a driveway, patio, or mature trees, trenchless helps you avoid tearing it all up.
  • We Can Access Both Ends: We need a place to start and finish the job, so trenchless is best when we can reach both ends of the sewer line.


If your sewer line is fully collapsed, has extreme offset joints, or runs under structures with no access points, trenchless may not be possible. Rest assured that if excavation is required, we can still complete this project.

What to Know About Your Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement

If you’ve never had trenchless sewer work done before, you may be wondering if this is a real solution or just a temporary fix. When done properly, a trenchless sewer line replacement can last 50 years or more—often just as long as, or longer than, a traditional sewer line replacement. 

At America’s Plumbing Company, we walk you through the process step by step so you know exactly what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what to expect. Here's what to know before you move forward:

Methods We Use

We use two trusted trenchless methods—pipe bursting and pipe lining (CIPP: cured-in-place pipe)—both designed to solve serious sewer issues without tearing up your yard.

  • Pipe Bursting involves pulling a brand-new, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe through your old line. As it’s pulled through, a bursting head breaks apart the damaged pipe while the new pipe follows directly behind, creating a durable replacement.
  • Pipe Lining (CIPP) places a flexible, resin-coated liner inside your existing pipe. Once in place, we inflate and cure it with hot water or steam, forming a new, seamless pipe inside the old one.


Time It Takes

Most trenchless sewer line replacements are finished in one to two days, start to finish.

  • We begin with a sewer camera inspection to assess the damage, identify access points, and plan the best course of action.
  • Access pits are then created at either end of the pipe, typically in yard or utility areas.
  • The actual trenchless work—bursting or lining—usually takes just a few hours.
  • Because there’s no need to dig long trenches, there’s little to no property restoration required afterward.


Costs Involved

You can generally expect to pay less than a full excavation project, but the final cost of a trenchless sewer line replacement depends on a few key factors. Things like the size of your sewer line, how accessible it is, and what shape it’s in will all play a role. We’ll assess your line and talk to you about your options and all the costs involved.

Sewer Line Inspection

We use advanced camera technology to inspect your sewer line from the inside. This helps us pinpoint damage, clogs, or wear, and determine if you need a repair, full replacement, or if trenchless is even an option.

Sewer Line Excavation

Some properties or pipe conditions don’t allow for trenchless work. When traditional excavation is needed, we handle both the digging and sewer line replacement and carefully put everything back in place.

Sewer Cleaning

Many sewer backups are caused by clogs, grease, or roots, not broken lines. Our high-powered sewer cleaning equipment clears your pipes fast, helping prevent further damage and restoring proper flow.

Trenchless Sewer Line Repair

Even if you don’t need a full replacement now, we offer trenchless repair options when smaller sections of your line are damaged. It’s a great solution to fix problems early and avoid future emergencies.
