EXCELLENT Based on 52 reviews Posted on Google Fred RoederTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thomas and Axel, came out clear a clog in bathroom shower. Problem resolved, Great job! I have found my new plumber and would highly recommend this company. Very professional, and friendly service! Fair pricing for plumbing work! Thanks guys! Thanks for being our new plumber.Posted on Google Lisa HolleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with Drain & Water company. They scheduled my appointment quickly and fixed my air gap issue, getting my dishwasher working again. Jose provided excellent customer service with clear, fast communication. Thomas, the technician, was friendly, professional, wore booties before entering my home, and completed the repair quickly. The price was reasonable. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Leo LópezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Repipe Champions Plumbing and Rooter did an excellent job from start to finish. The team was professional, on time, and explained everything clearly before starting the work. The repipe was done faster than expected and the quality was top-notch. They left the place clean and made sure everything was working perfectly before leaving. Highly recommend them for any plumbing work.Posted on Google Barbara WeissTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got 3 estimates for a trenchless replacement of my sewer pipe from the front yard to the street. I was very impressed by Alex who came out to look over the project in order to make an accurate estimate. He made notes of my concerns about certain large plants which would need to be uprooted and assured me that they would be set aside and replanted. It was also necessary to remove 3 stones from a custom walkway near the entry point of their equipment and, again, Alex made a note of the extra attention required and included it in his written estimate. Alex explained the process, step by step from exposure of pipe, to hole digging, to permit and replacement. He gave me a best and worst case timeline (depending on when a city inspector would be available to sign off). The estimate was in my email box by the end of the day. The crew arrived on schedule and all work was done promptly and completed on schedule. There was just one hour when I was unable to flush the toilet due to the work in progress. Thomas was there to oversee the project and make sure things were done correctly and that care was taken to protect my landscaping and stone pathway. I could not be more satisfied with the work done and how much attention was paid by Thomas to leaving my property in good and clean, tidy repair. I recommend this company!Posted on Google gudni gudnasonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had guys come out to snake a toilet when two other contractors had failed to clear the clog. Admittedly, it was not easy… I know this because their snake came with an inspection camera and a video feed. They had their work cut out for them. The clog was not just at the toilet, but continued far down the plumbing line. They worked really hard, we’re really fair and professional. Most of all they got the job done, and got it done right! Thanks! You will be my go to in the future.Posted on Google David SchneiderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic! TrenchFree connected me with Axel at Drain & Water to scope out my sewer line woes. Their thorough attention to detail at the free estimate and competitive pricing won me over, and they did not disappoint! Prompt, efficient, and high-quality work. I was kept updated every step of the way, turning what could have been a major headache into a stress-free repair.Posted on Google Sergio MunozTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Drain & Water have been servicing company facilities since the beginning of 2025 and without a doubt Axel and Thomas always get the work done in a timely manner at an affordable price.Posted on Google Karin McClungTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our sewer line backed up yesterday. This morning we were in desperate need of getting this problem fixed ASAP. Two years ago DRAIN AND WATER, INC had done an incredible installation of a TRENCHLESS DRAIN in our yard, so I called them to see if they also cleared blocked sewer drains. I spoke with Oscar, explained the situation and he arranged to have a truck come out. IN LESS THAN 30 MINUTES, their truck arrived with Thomas and Axel who got right to work and had the blockage removed within 15 minutes! It was amazing! Axel and Thomas are true professionals, they were kind, courteous, and explained what needed to be done. They also gave us information about other services DRAIN AND WATER, INC offer. I highly recommend DRAIN AND WATER, INC and will definitely call them in the future for plumbing and drain problems. Thank you Oscar, Axel and Thomas, for a great job! TWO BIG THUMBS UP 👍👍 AND FIVE STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!
Hassle-Free Drain Replacement Service Guaranteed
Your Drain Problems Are Costing You More Than Money
You’ve noticed the warning signs: slow drains throughout your home, persistent sewage odors, soggy patches in your yard, or worse—sewage backing up into your property. You’ve tried drain cleaning services, maybe even spot repairs, but the problems keep returning.
Here’s what’s really happening beneath your Silicon Valley property:
Your underground drain pipes—whether they’re decades-old cast iron, deteriorating clay, or root-invaded PVC—have reached the end of their lifespan. Cracks, corrosion, and complete pipe collapse are causing:
- Health hazards from sewage exposure and contaminated water
- Property damage from foundation erosion and landscape flooding
- Mounting repair costs from repeated emergency plumber visits
- Stress and disruption to your family or business operations
- Plummeting property value if drainage issues aren’t permanently resolved
The longer you wait, the worse it gets. What starts as a minor inconvenience can escalate into a $50,000+ emergency involving foundation repairs, landscape restoration, and health department violations.
You need a permanent solution—and you need it done right the first time.
Permanent Drain Replacement Using TrenchFree™ Technology—No Digging Required
At Drain and Water Plumbing Services, we’ve pioneered a better way to replace failing drain lines throughout Silicon Valley. Our exclusive TrenchFree™ technology allows us to install brand-new, durable drain pipes without destroying your landscape, driveway, or disrupting your life.
How Our Drain Replacement Process Works:
Step 1: Advanced Video Inspection
We insert a high-definition camera into your drain system to pinpoint exactly where pipes are damaged, collapsed, or compromised. No guesswork—just precise diagnostics.
Step 2: Customized Replacement Plan
Based on your property’s unique needs (whether it’s a historic San Jose home from the 1800s or a modern Palo Alto development), we design a trenchless solution using:
- Pipe Bursting – Breaking apart old pipes while simultaneously pulling new, seamless pipes into place
- Pipe Lining (CIPP) – Creating a “pipe within a pipe” using epoxy-saturated liners that cure into a durable new drain
- Horizontal Directional Drilling – Installing new drain lines with minimal surface disruption
Step 3: Fast, Non-Invasive Installation
Most drain replacements are completed in 1-2 days—not the 1-2 weeks required by traditional excavation. Your yard, landscaping, and hardscaping remain intact.
Step 4: Quality Assurance & Warranty
We conduct a final camera inspection to verify perfect installation, then back our work with industry-leading warranties (including limited lifetime options).
What You Gain With Professional Drain Replacement
Protect Your Property Investment
Eliminate foundation damage, landscape erosion, and structural issues caused by failing drains. Maintain (or increase) your property value with a fully functional drainage system.
Save Thousands in Long-Term Costs
Stop throwing money at temporary fixes. One permanent drain replacement costs less than years of emergency repairs, water damage restoration, and landscape replacement.
Minimal Disruption to Your Life

Preserve Your Landscape & Hardscape

24/7 Emergency Response
Drain emergencies don’t wait for business hours. Neither do we. Call us anytime, day or night, and we’ll respond fast to protect your Silicon Valley property.

Drain Replacement FAQs: Your Questions Answered
How do I know if I need drain replacement or just drain repair?
If you're experiencing recurring clogs, multiple drain failures, sewage backups, or visible pipe damage during camera inspection, replacement is typically more cost-effective than repeated repairs. Our free video inspection will show you exactly what condition your drains are in, and we'll recommend the most economical long-term solution.
How long does drain replacement take?
Most residential drain replacements using our TrenchFree™ technology are completed in 1-2 days. Traditional excavation methods can take 1-2 weeks. The exact timeline depends on your property's specific conditions and the extent of replacement needed.
Will you have to dig up my yard, driveway, or landscaping?
In most cases, no. Our trenchless drain replacement methods (pipe bursting, pipe lining, and horizontal directional drilling) require only small access points—typically 2-3 feet wide. Your landscape, hardscape, and property features remain virtually untouched.
How much does drain replacement cost in Silicon Valley?
Drain replacement costs vary based on pipe length, depth, accessibility, and replacement method. Most residential projects range from $3,000-$15,000, which is often less expensive than traditional excavation when you factor in landscape restoration costs. We provide transparent, detailed quotes after our free inspection.
What types of pipes do you install for drain replacement?
We install high-grade PVC, HDPE (high-density polyethylene), and epoxy-lined pipes designed to last 50-100 years. The specific material depends on your property's needs, local codes, and the replacement method used.
Do you offer warranties on drain replacement?
Yes! We offer industry-leading warranties on our drain replacement work, including limited lifetime warranty options. Specific warranty terms depend on the replacement method and materials used.
Can you replace drains under concrete, driveways, or buildings?
Absolutely. Our TrenchFree™ technology is specifically designed for challenging installations where traditional excavation would be impossible or prohibitively expensive. We regularly replace drains under driveways, patios, buildings, and other structures.
What's the difference between drain replacement and sewer replacement?
Drain lines carry wastewater from your sinks, showers, and appliances to your main sewer line. Sewer lines carry all wastewater from your property to the municipal sewer system or septic tank. Both can be replaced using trenchless methods, but they serve different functions in your plumbing system.
Do you handle emergency drain replacement?
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency service throughout Silicon Valley. If your drain system has failed and is causing property damage or health hazards, call us immediately at (408) 564-0580.
Will drain replacement work for historic homes?
- Definitely. We've successfully replaced drain systems in historic Silicon Valley properties dating back to the 1800s. Our trenchless methods are ideal for preserving the integrity and character of historic homes while upgrading their underground infrastructure.
Do you offer financing for drain replacement?
Yes, we offer flexible financing options through Wisetack to make your drain replacement project affordable. Ask about financing during your free inspection.
How long will my new drains last?
When properly installed using quality materials, modern drain replacements typically last 50-100 years. Our TrenchFree™ installations create seamless, joint-free pipes that resist root intrusion, corrosion, and the issues that plagued your old drains.
