Trenchless repair provides options for restoring or replacing damaged sewer and water lines with less excavation than traditional open-trench methods when site and pipe conditions allow.
Heises Plumbing provides trenchless repair and replacement options for qualifying sewer and underground water lines throughout San Francisco and the Peninsula. Depending on pipe condition and site access, solutions may include pipe lining, pipe bursting, localized trenchless repair, or full line replacement.
Collapsed pipe, extensive cracking, root damage, deteriorated sewer lines, and repeated structural problems may require replacement rather than cleaning or localized repair. A Sewer Camera Inspection can help evaluate the condition of the line before replacement options are recommended. For isolated issues, Sewer Line Repair may be an option.
Some sewer lines can be replaced using trenchless methods such as pipe bursting, while other conditions may require conventional excavation. The appropriate method depends on the existing pipe, access, alignment, surrounding utilities, and site conditions. Learn more about traditional Sewer Replacement.
As a Class A General Engineering Contractor (#1089561), Heises Plumbing can coordinate applicable city permitting, traffic control requirements, and municipal inspections associated with qualifying trenchless sewer and water line projects throughout San Francisco and the Peninsula.
Pipe bursting can replace a damaged sewer lateral by pulling new high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe through the existing line. HDPE piping is durable, jointless, and resistant to common problems such as corrosion and tree root intrusion.
Trenchless repair methods can reduce the amount of excavation required compared with traditional open-trench work, helping limit disruption to landscaping, driveways, sidewalks, patios, and other finished surfaces when site and pipe conditions allow.

Recent trenchless sewer and water line work, including pipe bursting, line replacement, and other trenchless projects.
Trenchless pipe repair uses methods that can restore or replace damaged underground piping with less excavation than traditional open-trench work when pipe and site conditions allow. Depending on the problem, options may include pipe lining, pipe bursting, trenchless sewer repair, or trenchless water line repair.
Pipe lining creates a new lining inside qualifying existing pipe, while pipe bursting replaces a damaged line by pulling new pipe through the existing path. The appropriate method depends on pipe condition, material, alignment, access, and surrounding utilities.
Some trenchless methods can be used for qualifying sewer or underground water-line projects. A site evaluation and inspection help determine whether trenchless repair or replacement is appropriate for the specific line.
Trenchless methods can reduce the amount of excavation compared with traditional open-trench work. Access areas may still be required, and the amount of surface disruption depends on the pipe, property, utilities, and repair method.
The choice depends on the pipe material, condition, location, access, alignment, nearby utilities, and type of damage. Camera inspection, leak detection, and other diagnostic work may be used as appropriate before a repair or replacement method is recommended.
