FAQs
What is trenchless sewer repair and how does it work?
Trenchless sewer repair is a modern method that fixes or replaces underground sewer lines without extensive digging. Using small access points—usually at the clean-out and the city connection—our Oakdale technicians insert either a cured-in-place liner (CIPP) or a new HDPE pipe pulled through the old line (pipe bursting). High-resolution cameras first map the damage, then specialized equipment feeds the liner or pipe into place, where it’s cured or expanded to create a seamless, corrosion-resistant new pipe within the existing one.
What are the benefits of choosing trenchless sewer repair over traditional digging for Oakdale homeowners?
• Minimal landscape disruption: Because we only need two small entry pits, your lawn, mature trees, driveways, and patios stay intact. • Faster completion: Most Oakdale projects are completed in one day, versus several days of open trench work. • Lower total restoration costs: You avoid re-sodding, concrete replacement, and extensive labor. • Long-term durability: The epoxy-saturated liner or new HDPE pipe resists root intrusion and corrosion for 50+ years. • Environmentally friendly: Less soil excavation means reduced trucking, landfill debris, and fuel emissions.
How long does a typical trenchless sewer repair take in Oakdale?
After an initial camera inspection, the on-site repair generally takes 4–8 hours for most single-family homes. Complex lines with multiple bends or severe root intrusion can stretch to a full day. Because we avoid large trenches, you can usually resume normal water use the same evening.
Will trenchless sewer repair damage my yard, driveway, or landscaping in Oakdale?
Damage is minimal. We dig two access holes roughly 3’×3’. If one access point sits beneath concrete or pavers, we core a small hole that we patch afterward. Lawns typically recover within a couple of weeks, and most customers report no visible signs of the repair after regrowth. We always place protective mats and haul away any displaced soil.
How much does trenchless sewer repair cost in Oakdale and what factors affect the price?
Typical Oakdale prices range from $95 to $180 per linear foot, with most residential jobs totaling $4,500–$12,000. Key cost variables include: • Length and diameter of the pipe being repaired • Accessibility of entry points (e.g., under concrete vs. open lawn) • Severity of damage (breaks, offsets, or collapses) • Need for additional clean-outs or city permits. We provide a fixed written estimate after camera inspection so you know the exact investment before work begins.
Is trenchless sewer repair a permanent solution and what kind of warranty do you offer in Oakdale?
The materials we install—epoxy-saturated CIPP liners and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes—have an expected service life of 50 years or more. They meet ASTM F1216 standards for structural strength and are immune to rust, scale, and root intrusion. We stand behind our work with a transferable 10-year parts-and-labor warranty for Oakdale homeowners, plus any manufacturer warranty that extends beyond that period.
