Why Replace Your Sacramento Water Main?

Aging Infrastructure: Many Sacramento area properties have water mains installed 20-40 years ago that are reaching end of service life.

Repeated Repairs: If you’re experiencing frequent water main breaks, replacement may be more cost-effective than continued repairs.

Low Water Pressure: Old, corroded water mains can restrict flow and reduce water pressure throughout your property.

Material Failure: Older galvanized steel or outdated plastic mains are prone to failure in Sacramento’s soil conditions.

Sacramento Trenchless Water Main Replacement

Our trenchless water main replacement is the preferred method for Sacramento homeowners who want to preserve their landscaping, driveways, and walkways.

Pipe Bursting Method: We use advanced pipe bursting technology to break apart your old water main while simultaneously installing new, high-quality piping in the same location.

Horizontal Directional Drilling: For new installations or bypassing obstacles, we use precision boring equipment to install your new water main with minimal surface disruption.

Benefits of Trenchless Replacement in Sacramento:

• Preserve Landscaping - No destruction of mature trees, gardens, or lawn areas
• Protect Hardscaping - Driveways, walkways, and patios remain intact
• Faster Completion - Most trenchless replacements completed in 1-2 days

Traditional Water Main Replacement Sacramento

Open Excavation When Needed

Some Sacramento water main replacements require traditional open excavation methods:

Deep Main Lines: Water mains installed deeper than 8 feet may require traditional excavation for safe access.

Multiple Service Connections: Properties with complex service line configurations benefit from open excavation for precise connections.

Comprehensive Upgrades: When upgrading meter locations or adding service capacity, traditional methods provide better access.

Rock or Clay Conditions: Sacramento’s varying soil conditions sometimes require excavation for proper installation.
