Sewer Main Replacement Process Campbell

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we perform a thorough sewer lateral inspection using camera equipment to see exactly what’s wrong. No guessing, no assumptions. You’ll see the same footage we see, so you know exactly what needs fixing.

If replacement is necessary, we discuss your options. Trenchless pipe bursting can often replace your sewer main without destroying your landscaping. Traditional excavation might be needed for complex situations, but we have the equipment to do it efficiently.

We handle permits, coordinate with the city of Campbell, and complete the work with our three-person crew. You get a properly functioning sewer system that’s built to last, not a quick fix that fails in two years.

How do I know if my sewer main actually needs replacement?

The only way to know for sure is with a camera inspection of your sewer line. Signs like frequent backups, sewage odors, soggy spots in your yard, or multiple drain problems often point to main line issues, but you need to see inside the pipe to know if it’s a partial blockage, root intrusion, or actual pipe failure. We use professional camera equipment to show you exactly what’s happening in your sewer line, so you’re making decisions based on facts, not guesswork. Many homeowners are surprised to learn their problem is actually simpler (or more complex) than they thought.

What's the difference between trenchless repair and traditional excavation?

Trenchless pipe bursting replaces your sewer main by pulling a new pipe through the old one, which means minimal digging and less damage to your landscaping, driveways, or walkways. Traditional excavation requires digging a trench along the entire sewer line path, which gives us complete access but means more restoration work afterward. The right method depends on your specific situation – pipe depth, soil conditions, obstacles, and the condition of your existing line. We’ll explain which approach makes sense for your property and why, so you understand what you’re getting into before we start.

How much does sewer main replacement cost in Campbell?

Sewer main replacement in Campbell typically ranges from $8,000 to $20,000 depending on the length of the run, depth, soil conditions, and repair method. Trenchless repairs are often more expensive upfront but save money on landscaping restoration. Traditional excavation costs less for the actual pipe work but requires more cleanup. We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for, including permits, materials, labor, and restoration. If you’ve gotten quotes that seem unreasonably high, we’re happy to take a look and give you our honest assessment of what the job actually requires.

How long does a sewer main replacement take to complete?

Most sewer main replacements in Campbell take 1-3 days depending on the complexity of the job. Simple trenchless repairs can sometimes be completed in a single day, while traditional excavation projects that require extensive digging or dealing with obstacles like tree roots or utility lines may take longer. We coordinate with the city for permits and inspections, which can add time to the overall process but ensures everything is done properly. During the work, your water service may be temporarily interrupted, but we schedule these disruptions to minimize inconvenience and always restore basic function by the end of each work day.

What are the signs of a broken sewer main line?

Common signs include sewage backing up into your lowest drains during heavy rains, persistent sewer odors around your property, unusually green or soggy patches in your yard, gurgling sounds from multiple drains, or slow drainage throughout your house. You might also notice an unexplained increase in your water bill if there’s a leak underground. However, these symptoms can also indicate other plumbing problems, which is why camera inspection is so important. We’ve seen homeowners spend thousands on unnecessary repairs because they assumed their main line was broken when the actual problem was much simpler to fix.

Do you handle permits and city inspections for Campbell sewer work?

Yes, we handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections with the City of Campbell. Sewer main replacement requires permits and inspections to ensure the work meets local codes and connects properly to the city sewer system. We know Campbell’s requirements and have working relationships with the inspection department, which helps keep your project moving smoothly. The permit costs are included in our estimates, and we schedule inspections at the appropriate stages of the work. You don’t need to worry about navigating city bureaucracy or making sure everything meets code – that’s part of what you’re paying us to handle.
