Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between trenchless pipe lining and pipe bursting?
Pipe lining involves inserting a resin-coated sleeve into the existing pipe and curing it in place, effectively creating a new pipe inside the old one. Pipe bursting pulls a new pipe through the old one while simultaneously breaking the original apart, which is better suited for pipes that are too deteriorated to line.
How do I know if my Richmond home has original clay sewer pipes?
A camera inspection is the most reliable way to confirm pipe material and condition. Homes built before the 1970s in West Contra Costa County frequently have clay or Orangeburg pipes that are at or past the end of their expected lifespan.
Can trenchless repair work under a concrete driveway or slab?
Yes, that's one of the main advantages. Trenchless methods only require small access pits at each end of the repair section, so a concrete driveway or slab stays largely intact. It's significantly less disruptive and often less expensive than breaking up and repaving concrete.
What should I do if my drains are backing up throughout the house?
A whole-house backup is usually a sign that the main sewer line or septic system is blocked or failing rather than an individual fixture. Stop using water as much as possible and call a professional promptly, as raw sewage backups inside the home create health and property damage risks quickly.
Does Richmond have properties that still use private septic systems?
Some properties, particularly larger lots and those in less developed sections of the city's outskirts, do use private septic rather than connecting to the municipal sewer. County records or a simple inspection can confirm which system your property uses.
How often should older sewer lines in West Contra Costa County be inspected?
For homes with pipes older than 30 to 40 years, a video inspection every three to five years is a reasonable precaution. Catching a crack or root intrusion early gives you options, while waiting until a complete failure leaves you scrambling and paying emergency rates.
