Is Your Walnut Creek Sewer Lateral in Trouble?
Signs Your Main Sewer Line is Failing
The plumbing in many of Walnut Creek’s beautiful homes is reaching an age where the sewer lateral is a point of failure. Recognizing these signs can help you avoid a messy and expensive emergency.
Common Causes of Failure:
- Chronic Clogs & Backups: The most obvious sign of a serious problem.
- Large Trees on the Property: Roots are naturally drawn to the moisture in sewer lines.
- Old Age: Pipes made of clay or cast iron have a finite lifespan and will eventually corrode and crack.
- Noticeable Dips in Your Lawn: A leaking or broken lateral can erode the soil around it, causing the ground to sink.
- Planning a Major Remodel or Home Sale: An inspection is a wise step to identify potential liabilities.
Our Sewer Lateral Solutions for Walnut Creek
High-Definition Video Camera Inspection
We don’t guess, we look. Our process starts with a video camera inspection to see the true condition of your sewer pipe from the inside. This allows us to accurately diagnose the problem—whether it’s roots, cracks, or a collapse—and recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective solution.
Trenchless Sewer Lateral Replacement (Pipe Bursting)
Why dig if you don’t have to? Our trenchless pipe bursting technology is the preferred method for replacing sewer lines. We can install a new, incredibly durable, single-piece pipe right through the old one. This powerful method saves your yard, patio, and driveway from being trenched, saving you time, mess, and restoration costs.
Traditional Open-Trench Replacement
In some situations, such as a severely bellied or collapsed pipe, the traditional open-trench method is the best solution. Our experienced crews perform this work efficiently and safely, adhering to all Walnut Creek city codes and ensuring the job site is restored properly upon completion.
Sewer Lateral Spot Repair
If the majority of your sewer pipe is in good condition but has a single point of failure, we may recommend a spot repair. This involves a small excavation to fix only the broken section, providing a strong, durable repair where it’s needed most.
