EXCELLENT Based on 49 reviews Posted on 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 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 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 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 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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!Posted on Daphna YagourTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional, reliable team. I will definitely continue to work with them.Posted on Eduardo InzunzaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had a drain line repaired in the crawl space of my home, and I was impressed with the service. From the moment I called, Axel responded promptly, clearly explained the problem, and outlined exactly how it would be fixed. The repair was scheduled for the very next day, and the team arrived right on time. Axel, Thomas, and Victor demonstrated exceptional professionalism throughout the job—keeping me informed every step of the way. Working in a crawl space is no easy task, but they handled it with skill, efficiency, and attention to detail to ensure the repair was done right. They documented their work thoroughly, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Even after working in tight, dirty conditions, they left the area clean—a true sign of the pride they take in their craft. If you’re looking for a company that delivers prompt, professional, and clean service, I highly recommend Axel and his team at Drain & Water.Posted on Willie KimTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our house was built over 50 years ago, and we pretty much remodeled every part of the house except the sewer lines under the house. And of course, last week we had a sewage disaster in our garage. We first called one company that is known for doing good work for really low prices. They were going to need to dig up the concrete in our newly remodeled garage in several spaces and take nearly a week to complete the project. I vaguely remembered that Drain & Water approached these projects differently because of their trenchless technology. So I called for an estimate and Axel & Thomas came out to look at the problem. They explained how their solution could work, and gave me an estimate that was very competitive, wouldn't need to break up concrete in our garage, and was faster. Because I didn't know anyone else who had used them before, I was a little cautious, but it turned out to be a great decision. Axel and Thomas' team was extremely professional, clean, and careful. They were always punctual, and did a fantastic job. After they were finished with the job, they showed me everything they did and I couldn't be happier. Thank you Drain & Water -- I highly recommend this company!Posted on Veronica PrezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. they were prompt in time and explained everything that needed to be explained very well.
Hassle-Free Sewer Line Repair Service Guaranteed
Is Your Sewer Line Failing? Here's How to Know
A damaged sewer line doesn’t just inconvenience you—it threatens your property value, health, and daily routine. Silicon Valley homeowners and businesses face these warning signs every day:
Common Sewer Line Problems:
- Persistent sewage backups in toilets, showers, or floor drains
- Foul odors around your property or inside your home
- Slow drains throughout multiple fixtures
- Soggy patches or unusually green grass in your yard
- Foundation cracks or settling from soil erosion
- Increased water bills from hidden leaks
- Gurgling sounds when flushing toilets or running water
- Pest infestations (rats, insects) attracted to broken pipes
What’s Really at Stake:
Left untreated, sewer line damage escalates quickly. Raw sewage can contaminate your property, create health hazards, damage your foundation, and cost tens of thousands in emergency repairs. Traditional excavation methods compound the problem—destroying landscaping, driveways, and requiring weeks of restoration work.
You need a solution that fixes the problem permanently without creating new ones.
TrenchFree™ Sewer Line Repair: The Modern Solution to an Old Problem
At Drain and Water, we’ve pioneered a better way. Our patented TrenchFree™ technology repairs and replaces damaged sewer lines without excavation—preserving your property while delivering superior, long-lasting results.
How Our Sewer Line Repair Works:
1. Advanced Video Inspection
We start with high-definition camera inspection to pinpoint the exact location and cause of damage—tree root intrusion, pipe corrosion, ground shifting, or age-related deterioration.
2. Customized Repair Strategy
Based on your pipe’s condition, property type, and budget, we recommend the optimal solution:
- Pipe Lining (CIPP) – Creates a seamless “pipe within a pipe”
- Pipe Bursting – Replaces old pipes while pulling new ones through
- Spot Repair – Targets isolated damage without full replacement
3. Trenchless Installation
Using small access points, we repair or replace your entire sewer line in hours, not weeks—with minimal disruption to your property.
4. Quality Verification
Final camera inspection confirms proper installation and flow, backed by our limited lifetime warranty.

Sewer Line Repair FAQs - Silicon Valley
How do I know if I need drain replacement or just drain repair?
Sewer line repair costs vary based on pipe length, damage extent, and access points. Trenchless repairs typically range from $3,000-$15,000, while traditional excavation can exceed $25,000 when including landscape restoration. We provide free inspections and transparent estimates with no hidden fees.
How long does drain replacement take?
Most trenchless sewer line repairs are completed in 1-2 days, compared to 1-2 weeks for traditional excavation. The exact timeline depends on your pipe length and damage severity, but you'll experience minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Will you have to dig up my yard or driveway?
No. Our TrenchFree™ technology requires only small access points—typically 2-3 feet—to repair or replace your entire sewer line. Your landscaping, driveway, and hardscaping remain intact.
How long do trenchless sewer line repairs last?
Trenchless repairs using CIPP pipe lining or pipe bursting typically last 50+ years. The seamless, corrosion-resistant materials often outlast traditional pipe replacement, which is why we offer limited lifetime warranties.
What causes sewer line damage in Silicon Valley?
Common causes include tree root intrusion (especially from mature oaks and redwoods), ground shifting from seismic activity, pipe corrosion in older cast iron or clay pipes, soil erosion, and age-related deterioration in homes built before 1980.
Can you repair sewer lines under driveways or buildings?
Yes. Trenchless technology is ideal for hard-to-reach sewer lines under driveways, patios, buildings, and landscaping. We access pipes through small entry points without disturbing the structures above.
Do you offer emergency sewer line repair?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency sewer line repair throughout Silicon Valley. Call (408) 564-0580 anytime for immediate assistance with sewage backups, collapsed pipes, or other urgent issues.
Is trenchless sewer repair better than traditional excavation?
Trenchless repair offers significant advantages: faster completion, lower total cost (no restoration), minimal property disruption, superior durability, and environmentally friendly installation. It's the preferred method for most sewer line repairs.
How do I know if I need sewer line repair or replacement?
Our video camera inspection reveals your pipe's exact condition. Minor damage may only require spot repairs or lining, while extensive deterioration may need full replacement. We'll recommend the most cost-effective solution for your situation.
Are trenchless sewer repairs covered by homeowners insurance?
- Coverage varies by policy. Some insurance plans cover sudden pipe failures but not gradual deterioration. We provide detailed documentation to help you file claims and work with all major insurance providers.
What's the difference between pipe lining and pipe bursting?
Pipe lining (CIPP) creates a new pipe inside your existing one using epoxy-saturated materials—ideal for pipes with structural integrity. Pipe bursting breaks apart old pipes while simultaneously pulling new ones through—best for severely damaged or collapsed pipes.
Can tree roots damage my sewer line?
Yes. Tree roots are the leading cause of sewer line damage in Silicon Valley. Roots seek moisture and nutrients, infiltrating pipes through small cracks and eventually causing blockages or breaks. Our trenchless repairs create seamless barriers that prevent future root intrusion.
Do you service commercial properties?
Absolutely. We repair sewer lines for apartment complexes, restaurants, retail spaces, industrial sites, and high-traffic businesses throughout Silicon Valley. Our trenchless methods minimize downtime and keep your operations running.
What warranty do you offer on sewer line repairs?
We offer limited lifetime warranties on qualifying trenchless sewer line repairs, reflecting our confidence in TrenchFree™ technology and materials. Warranty details vary by service—we'll explain coverage during your consultation.
How can I prevent future sewer line problems?
Regular maintenance is key: schedule annual video inspections, avoid flushing non-biodegradable items, manage tree root growth near sewer lines, and address slow drains promptly. We offer preventive maintenance plans to protect your investment.
