Trench-Less Storm Drain Lateral Replacements

SoCal Sewer and Water offers trenchless storm drain replacement options when underground drainage piping can be renewed while reducing excavation across finished areas.

This may be valuable beneath driveways, landscaping, sidewalks, and commercial parking lots.

Potential Advantages:

• Less excavation
• Reduced restoration
• Less hardscape removal
• Lower disruption

When Trenchless Is Not Appropriate

Trenchless replacement cannot automatically correct severe grade problems, drainage bellies, undersized piping, or poor system design. Trenchless technology can replace damaged pipe, but it cannot automatically redesign an ineffective drainage system. SoCal Sewer and Water evaluates camera findings, line location, grade, and access before recommending a trenchless solution.
