Trenchless is a modern technology that is used to main sewer drains. Plumbers can now replace the pipes with minimal disruption and least disturbance to the surrounding environment using this technology. A relatively new technology, only really being adopted in San Francisco recently. Pipe bursting also known as trenchless sewer pipe installation, is a method of replacing the sewer pipes without digging long trenches. To perform a pipe bursting job in San Francisco plumbers would have to get prior approval from the City of San Francisco. Now times have changed and the City now recognizes pipe bursting as an alternative to digging a long trench.

Trenchless Sewer Line No Dig Replacement doesn't mean destroyed yards, ruined driveways or devastated parking lots. The Trenchless non invasive repair method results in less damage than traditional open cut techniques. Trenchless pipe replacement is the high performance alternative to costly ongoing maintenance or temporary lining methods.

San Francisco plumbers can now perform Trenchless Sewer Installations in San Francisco with the approval of the Department Of Building Inspection (DBI). Until recently, trenchless sewer installations, also known as pipe bursting, were performed on an as-needed basis requiring special approval from the City. All or most other cities surrounding San Francisco already approve the trenchless method without prior approval, San Francisco has been a late comer in allowing the procedure to be performed without special approval. ''We are very pleased about this,'' said the owner of Magic Plumbing, "getting special approval didn't stop us from performing the installations, whenever it was a better alternative we always had it approved but the extra step of getting approval was time consuming and required an additional fee. Now that we can perform the trenchless pipe bursting method we can provide a better service for our customers because before most inspectors were reluctant to approve this superior way of installing a sewer line in San Francisco."

How does trenchless sewer replacement work?
Most plumbers use the Tric system which works by digging two holes, one where the sewer exits the building and the other at either the property line or in the street where it connects to the mainline. A steel cable is then threaded through the old sewer pipe and a hardened steel bursting head is attached to one end of the cable. The new polyethylene pipe is then attached to the back of the bursting head. At the other end the TRIC hydraulic system is set up which pulls the cable. Once the system has been set up and turned on the operator uses a remote control to "pull" the cable with the head and pipe attached down into the hole at the side of the house. It then pulls the new HDPE pipe through the old pipe breaking it and pushing the pieces out into the surrounding soil. The new pipe gets pulled all the way to the exit hole where the connections are made, it is inspected and then the holes filled in.
