Find out for yourself why they love Drain and Water!
EXCELLENT Based on 53 reviews Posted on Google Anurag AgrawalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Drain and Water highly enough! We have now used their services twice, and both experiences were absolutely flawless. A huge shoutout to Axel and Thomas, who are truly masters of their craft. It is rare to find a team that delivers such unbelievably great work while consistently staying on time and professional. They are incredibly dedicated to getting the job done right the first time, leaving no stone unturned. Above all, what sets them apart is their extreme honesty. In an industry where it is easy to feel overwhelmed by technical jargon, Axel and Thomas provide clear explanations and fair pricing, making it easy to trust them with our home. If you want high-quality service delivered with integrity, look no further.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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!

Tens of thousands of dollars plus weeks of disruption.

Brush-On Liner Pipe Application: The Trenchless Solution Silicon Valley Trusts
Drain and Water specializes in brush-on epoxy liner technology—a proven trenchless method that repairs damaged sewer pipes from the inside out. As the exclusive provider of patented TrenchFree™ technology in the San Francisco Bay Area, we’ve helped thousands of property owners restore their sewer systems without a single shovel touching their yard.
What is Brush-On Liner Pipe Application?
Brush-on liner application is a trenchless pipe rehabilitation method where a specially formulated epoxy resin is applied directly to the interior walls of your existing sewer pipe. This creates a seamless, jointless “pipe within a pipe” that:
- Seals cracks, holes, and root intrusions
- Restores structural integrity
- Prevents future corrosion
- Lasts 50+ years
- Requires only small access points
Our Proven 4-Step Brush-On Liner Process
Timeline: Most residential brush-on liner applications are completed in 4-8 hours.
Step 1: Video Camera Inspection
We insert a high-definition camera into your sewer line to identify exact damage locations, pipe material, and diameter. This precision diagnostic eliminates guesswork.
Step 2: Pipe Cleaning & Preparation
Using hydro jetting technology, we thoroughly clean the pipe interior, removing debris, scale, and root intrusions to ensure optimal liner adhesion.
Step 3: Epoxy Liner Application
Our certified technicians apply a specialized epoxy resin coating to the pipe’s interior walls using advanced brush-on equipment. The liner conforms perfectly to your pipe’s shape, sealing all defects.
Step 4: Curing & Final Inspection
The epoxy cures in place, creating a smooth, durable barrier. We perform a final camera inspection to verify complete coverage and structural restoration.

Other Trenchless Plumbing Options
Cured-in-Place Pipe Lining (CIPP)
The most popular trenchless method. We insert a resin-saturated liner into your damaged pipe, inflate it, and cure it in place—creating a brand-new pipe inside the old one. Ideal for pipes with cracks, corrosion, or root intrusion.
Best for: Clay pipes, cast iron pipes, Orangeburg pipes, pipes with multiple issues
Pipe Bursting
When your sewer line is completely collapsed or severely damaged, pipe bursting breaks apart the old pipe while simultaneously pulling new HDPE pipe into place. Minimal digging required.
Best for: Collapsed pipes, severely deteriorated lines, pipe diameter upgrades
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)
Install new sewer lines under obstacles like driveways, buildings, or landscaping without surface disruption.
Best for: New construction, line rerouting, avoiding surface obstacles
Frequently Asked Questions About Brush-On Liner Pipe Application
How long does brush-on liner application take?
Most residential sewer line repairs are completed in 4-8 hours, depending on pipe length and damage severity. You can typically resume normal water use the same day.
How much does brush-on liner cost compared to traditional excavation?
Brush-on liner is typically 30-50% less expensive than excavation because you avoid costs for digging, landscape restoration, and lengthy labor. We offer free estimates and financing through Wisetack.
Will the liner reduce my pipe diameter?
The epoxy coating is only 2-4mm thick, resulting in minimal diameter reduction that doesn't affect flow capacity. In fact, the smooth interior often improves flow compared to corroded or root-damaged pipes.
How long does a brush-on liner last?
When properly installed, brush-on epoxy liners have a 50+ year lifespan and come with limited lifetime warranties. The seamless construction resists root intrusion, corrosion, and chemical damage.
Can brush-on liner fix pipes with root intrusion?
Yes. We first remove roots using hydro jetting, then apply the liner to seal entry points and prevent future root penetration.
Is brush-on liner safe for drinking water pipes?
While brush-on liner is primarily used for sewer and drain lines, NSF-certified epoxy formulations are available for potable water applications. We'll recommend the appropriate solution for your needs.
Do I need permits for brush-on liner installation?
Permit requirements vary by municipality. Because brush-on liner is a trenchless method with minimal property impact, permitting is often simpler than excavation. We handle all permit coordination.
What's the difference between brush-on liner and CIPP (cured-in-place pipe)?
Both are trenchless pipe lining methods. CIPP uses a resin-saturated felt tube inverted or pulled through the pipe, while brush-on liner involves directly applying epoxy to pipe walls. Brush-on is ideal for smaller diameter pipes and spot repairs, while CIPP works better for longer sections.
Can you line pipes under my driveway or foundation?
Absolutely. That's exactly what trenchless technology excels at. We access your sewer line through existing cleanouts or small access points, eliminating the need to dig up hardscaping or foundations.
How do I know if my sewer pipe needs lining?
Common signs include slow drains, gurgling sounds, sewage odors, frequent backups, or lush patches in your yard. Our free video camera inspection provides definitive diagnosis.
Is brush-on liner environmentally friendly?
Yes. Trenchless methods reduce construction waste, preserve vegetation, and minimize carbon emissions compared to excavation. Modern epoxy formulations are also low-VOC and safe for the environment.
What happens if the liner fails?
Properly installed brush-on liners rarely fail, which is why we offer limited lifetime warranties. In the unlikely event of an issue, we'll make it right at no additional cost.
