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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!
Hassle-Free Sewer Line Repair Guaranteed
Is a Damaged Sewer Line Threatening Your Silicon Valley Property?
Sewer line problems never come at a convenient time. You might be experiencing:
- Sewage backups in toilets, showers, or drains
- Foul odors around your property or inside your home
- Slow draining throughout multiple fixtures
- Soggy patches or sinkholes in your yard
- Unusually green grass over your sewer line
- Foundation cracks or settling from underground leaks
- High water bills from hidden pipe damage
Traditional sewer repair means tearing up your landscape, driveway, or patio—costing thousands in restoration alone. For Silicon Valley homeowners with mature landscaping, historic properties, or modern hardscaping, this “solution” can feel worse than the problem.
There’s a better way.
Trenchless Sewer Line Repair: Advanced No-Dig Technology
Drain and Water is the Bay Area’s pioneer in trenchless plumbing solutions. We use patented TrenchFree™ technology to repair or replace your sewer lines without destructive digging.
How Trenchless Sewer Repair Works
Step 1: Video Camera Inspection
We insert a high-definition camera into your sewer line to pinpoint the exact location and extent of damage—no guesswork, just precision diagnostics.
Step 2: Choose Your Trenchless Solution
Based on your pipe’s condition, we recommend the best method:
- Pipe Lining (CIPP) – Cured-in-Place Pipe creates a new pipe inside your old one
- Pipe Bursting – Breaks apart old pipe while simultaneously pulling new pipe into place
- Brush-On Liner – Epoxy coating for minor cracks and leaks
Step 3: Minimal-Access Repair
We access your sewer line through small entry points—typically just 2-3 feet wide—instead of digging a trench across your entire property.
Step 4: Quality Assurance
Final camera inspection confirms your new sewer line is structurally sound and flowing perfectly.

Our Trenchless Sewer Line Repair Services in Silicon Valley
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 Relining & Brush-On Liner
Epoxy coating applied to interior pipe walls seals minor cracks and prevents future corrosion. Quick, cost-effective solution for early-stage damage.
Best for: Preventative maintenance, minor leaks, extending pipe lifespan
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

Trenchless Sewer Line Repair FAQs
How much does trenchless sewer line repair cost in Silicon Valley?
Trenchless sewer repair typically costs $80-$250 per linear foot depending on pipe condition, diameter, and access points. While the initial cost may be comparable to traditional excavation, you save thousands on landscape restoration, hardscape replacement, and reduced labor time. We provide free camera inspections and detailed estimates.
How long does trenchless sewer line repair take?
Most trenchless repairs complete in 1-3 days compared to 1-2 weeks for traditional excavation and restoration. The exact timeline depends on pipe length, damage extent, and chosen method.
Will trenchless repair work on my old sewer pipes?
Yes! Trenchless methods work on clay pipes, cast iron, Orangeburg, PVC, and other materials—even in historic Silicon Valley homes built in the 1800s. Our camera inspection determines the best approach for your specific pipes.
Is trenchless sewer repair as durable as traditional replacement?
Actually, it's more durable. Trenchless pipe lining creates seamless, jointless pipes that resist root intrusion, corrosion, and cracking better than traditional segmented pipes. We offer limited lifetime warranties on our work.
Can you repair sewer lines under my driveway or patio?
Absolutely. That's exactly what trenchless technology excels at. We can repair or replace sewer lines under driveways, patios, pools, landscaping, and even buildings without disturbing the surface.
How do I know if I need sewer line repair or replacement?
Our free video camera inspection shows exactly what's happening inside your pipes. Minor cracks and leaks can be lined; severely collapsed or deteriorated pipes may need pipe bursting replacement. We'll show you the footage and explain your options.
Does trenchless repair work for tree root damage?
Yes. Pipe lining is highly effective for root-damaged pipes. We first clear roots with hydro jetting, then install a seamless liner that prevents future root intrusion.
What's the difference between pipe lining and pipe bursting?
Pipe lining (CIPP) creates a new pipe inside your existing one—ideal for pipes with cracks, corrosion, or root damage. Pipe bursting replaces the entire pipe by breaking apart the old one and pulling new pipe into place—best for collapsed or severely deteriorated lines.
Will my yard look the same after trenchless repair?
Yes. We only create small access points (typically 2-3 feet wide) at entry and exit locations. Your landscaping, hardscaping, and property features remain intact.
Do you offer emergency trenchless sewer repair?
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency service throughout Silicon Valley. Call (408) 564-0580 anytime for urgent sewer line problems.
How long do trenchless sewer repairs last?
Properly installed trenchless pipe liners last 50+ years. Our solutions come with limited lifetime warranties, and the seamless construction resists common failure points like joint separation and root intrusion.
Can trenchless repair fix a bellied or sagging sewer line?
Pipe lining can address minor bellies by creating a smooth interior surface. Severe sags may require pipe bursting to install properly graded new pipe. Our camera inspection identifies the best solution.
