Trenchless Sewer Replacement
Our trenchless sewer replacement utilizes CIPP lining technology to rehabilitate damaged pipes without excavation. This method preserves landscapes and structures while addressing collapsed Orangeburg, cracked clay, or corroded cast iron pipes. The process involves inserting an epoxy-impregnated liner that cures into a durable, joint-sealing replacement pipe. Ideal for residential and municipal applications, this solution typically completes within 1-2 days with minimal property disruption.
Pipe Lining
Cure-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining creates a seamless replacement pipe within existing infrastructure. Our 100% inversion method ensures complete joint and crack sealing using reinforced felt liners and epoxy resin. Available for 2-12 inch diameter pipes, this solution addresses root intrusion, corrosion, and structural failures. The PVC-coated liners provide a 50+ year lifespan while maintaining flow capacity through existing structures.
Video Camera Inspections
Our high-resolution CCTV inspections identify pipe defects with precision. The system maps blockages, cracks, root intrusions, and misaligned joints through 2-inch to 12-inch diameter lines. Real-time imaging allows immediate diagnosis of offset joints, collapsed sections, and infiltration points. This non-destructive assessment guides targeted repairs, reducing unnecessary excavation while documenting system condition for maintenance planning.
Directional Drilling
Horizontal directional drilling enables underground utility installation without surface disruption. Our 100-ton capacity equipment installs pipes up to 16 inches diameter along curved paths beneath roads, rivers, and buildings. This method suits water lines, sewer laterals, and conduit installations where traditional trenching would damage infrastructure or landscapes.
Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting removes blockages and buildup using 4,000 PSI water streams. This method clears tree roots, grease, mineral deposits, and debris from 2-inch to 12-inch pipes. The process restores flow capacity while preparing pipes for lining. Regular maintenance jetting prevents recurring clogs and extends system lifespan without chemical cleaners or manual excavation.

Report
Ryan came out to my home today to address a problem with my sewer. Very professional, and paid close attention to my concerns. After discussing my problems ( clogging sewer line) he broke out a fiber optic device and inspected the line. To my surprise Ryan gave me great news, my sewer was fine and all it needed was to put on some root killer. This was a great relief as I had already had USA out and was ready to start digging. Ryan gave me a secret potion to kill the roots and did not want to change me for the time and effort that he put out. I insisted that he take a hundred dollars as he just saved me 7 to 10 thousand dollars! Folks, get several bids but make sure to call Ryan first, you won't be sorry.

They did a good job of hydro cleaning of our clogged sewer line. Provided a video showing the cleaned out line. He also fixed a slow drain caused by the poor work done by the first service I called. I highly recommend.

Report
Highly recommended! I had another company come out to clear a pipe and was told a portion of the pipe would need to be replaced and the cost would be over $5000. I contacted Affordable Trenchless and made an appointment the following day. Ryan inspected my line and told me I did not need to replace anything and was able to clear it within 30 minutes. I really appreciate the honesty and service that was provided which saved me thousands. I would definitely recommend this company to all my family and friends. Thank you, Affordable Trenchless.

Can't say enough about Ryan at Affordable Trenchless. I had another company snake my mothers clogged sewer line. Company recommended an $800 hydro jet and possibly a multi thousand dollar bursting would be needed. I called Affordable Trenchless and Ryan came out first thing the next morning. Ryan informed me that he thought the sewer line was likely a line that the City of Sacramento was responsible for, and that I should call 311 and the city would check, before hiring someone to repair.
I called and the city came out two hours later and confirmed they were in fact responsible for the line. The city hydrojetted and chain cleaned the line all the way from the street to my clean out - FOR NO CHARGE. For what it's worth, the city crew that came out knew who Ryan was and had nothing but good to say. I don't post reviews, but my experience with Affordable Trenchless and Ryan's knowledge and honesty cannot go unmentioned. Seriously, don't waste your time with others!
