Sewer line repair — diagnosed first, fixed for good.
We camera the line first so you can see exactly what’s wrong, then fix it the right way — a spot repair, trenchless lining, or a full replacement. Fixed price approved by you before we start, with no scare tactics.

What’s your sewer line telling you?
From root-choked to like-new — without digging
The most common sewer failure under Sonoma County’s older homes is tree roots invading old clay pipe. Here is what that looks like — and the no-dig fix that solves it.
BEFOREAFTERLeft: a decades-old clay line cracked and completely choked by tree roots. Right: the same pipe relined with a seamless, jointless CIPP liner — smooth, root-proof, and installed through small access points with no trench.

Watch a sewer line replaced — without the trench
These clips are from real Simeone Plumbing pipe-bursting jobs right here in Sonoma County. We fracture the old, failed pipe underground and pull a brand-new one into its place — all through two small access pits. No trench across your yard.
More than one way to fix a line — and the skill to do each
A lot of companies dig and replace because it is all they do. We carry the full trenchless toolkit and recommend the method your line actually needs — not the one that is easiest to sell.
CIPP pipe lining
A resin-saturated liner is cured inside your existing pipe, forming a smooth, seamless, jointless pipe with a design life up to 50 years. Our crews prep and install every liner in-house — never subbed out.
Pipe bursting
When a line is collapsed or too far gone to line, we fracture the old pipe underground and pull a seamless new HDPE pipe into its place — a full replacement, with no trench across your yard.
Sectional point repairs
One offset joint or a single crack should not mean repiping the whole line. We repair just the damaged section — a strong, targeted fix that is usually done in a single day.
We also restore aging cast iron drain lines from the inside with epoxy pipe coating — descaling the pipe and sealing corrosion and pinholes without opening walls or cutting concrete.
Two ways to replace a sewer line — only one keeps your yard.
Most companies dig because it is all they do. Here is the honest comparison, so you can see why trenchless wins whenever your line allows it.
USUALLY THE BETTER CALL
Trenchless — no-dig
- Two small access pits — no trench across your yard
- Driveways, patios & mature trees stay put
- Usually a 1–2 day job
- Far less restoration cost afterward
- Seamless, jointless, root-proof new pipe
Traditional dig-and-replace
- An open trench along the full line
- Lets us correct slope or reroute the line
- The right call for collapsed or badly bellied lines
- Several days of excavation
- Lawn, concrete & hardscape to restore after
We recommend the method your line actually calls for — never the one that pads the invoice. The camera inspection tells us which.

Good to know
Sewer line questions, answered straight
Repair or replace — how do I know?
Rule of thumb: a one-time clog usually clears and stays clear. Repeat backups, multiple slow drains, gurgling, or yard odor point to a line problem — a camera inspection settles it in one visit. Your tech gives you a fixed price and the honest options, then you decide.
How long does a replacement take?
A spot repair or trenchless job is often completed in a day. A full dig-and-replace depends on length and depth — we’ll tell you exactly what to expect with your quote before we start.
Do you have to dig up my yard?
Not always. If the line’s path is intact, trenchless lining or bursting can rehabilitate it through small access points — no trench across your yard. We dig only when a line is collapsed or being rerouted, and we’ll tell you which after the camera inspection.
Will trenchless work on my pipe?
Not always. If the line’s path is intact, trenchless lining or bursting rehabilitates it through small access points — no trench. We’ll tell you honestly whether trenchless is an option for your line after the camera inspection.
