What is trenchless sewer repair?

Trenchless sewer repair replaces your underground pipe without digging a long trench across your yard. We dig two small access pits, then either pipe-burst the old line (breaking it while pulling a new pipe through) or reline it with an epoxy-saturated sleeve. It preserves your landscaping, driveway, and hardscaping and is often faster and cleaner than traditional excavation.

Do you offer camera inspections in Placer?

Yes. We perform high-resolution sewer camera inspections throughout Placer and Placer County. We'll show you the footage in real time, explain what we see, and provide an honest assessment of whether you need repair or just cleaning. Camera inspection is the only way to know what's actually happening underground before spending money on repairs.

What causes sewer line problems in Placer?

A sewer line problem in Placer, California is not something to put off.

Why Placer Trusts The Water Works

Since 1985, The Water Works has repaired and replaced hundreds of sewer lines across Greater Sacramento. We know the local pipe materials — clay sewer lines from the 1950s and 60s in older Sacramento neighborhoods, cast iron in 1970s Roseville and Citrus Heights, and modern PVC in newer Folsom and Elk Grove developments. We carry camera inspection equipment on every truck and can show you exactly what's happening underground before you spend a dime on repairs.

Sewer camera inspection first, always

We don't quote sewer work blind. A sewer camera inspection shows you the exact condition of the line, where it fails, and how deep it is. You see the footage, and the estimate is based on what's actually underground.

Trenchless sewer repair in Placer

When the camera shows a cracked or root-invaded lateral, trenchless sewer replacement — pipe bursting or cured-in-place lining — lets us restore the line from two small access pits instead of trenching across a Placer yard, driveway, or mature landscaping.

Sewer line replacement and permits

Sewer lateral replacement is permitted work, and several local sewer districts require inspection before backfill. We pull the permit, coordinate the inspection, and connect properly at the property-line cleanout so the job passes the first time.
