Sewer Lines Under Clovis Homes
Clovis homes are mostly single-story ranches on slabs, and the sewer line runs under the front yard to the street.
What we run into in Clovis
- Slab foundations. Slab foundations are the norm, so part of the sewer line runs under the house. Lining reaches it from the cleanout instead of through the floor.
- Tree roots. Yard and street trees around Clovis have had decades to find the sewer line. Recurring backups after every snaking usually mean roots.

Call (833) 529-2616Trenchless Methods We Use in Clovis
Pipe lining (CIPP)
Cracked, rooted or corroded lines get a new pipe formed inside the old one, with no trench along the route.
Pipe bursting
Collapsed, flattened or undersized lines are replaced along the same path, often at the same size or one up.
Spot repairs
One cracked joint or root entry point sealed with a short sectional liner, when the rest of the line is sound.

Sewer Line Failures We See Around Clovis
Below are the faults behind most jobs for trenchless sewer line repair in Clovis, CA, from root mats to flattened fiber pipe.
Roots in the line
Roots enter through cracked or loose joints and grow into a mat. They are cut out, then lining seals the joints.
Cracked or offset pipe
Cracks, holes and joints that have slipped out of line leak and snag waste. Lining covers them with new pipe.
Corroded or collapsing pipe
Cast iron scales and rots from inside, and Orangeburg flattens. Cast iron is often lined; Orangeburg is usually burst.
Clogs that keep coming back
If the line needs snaking every few months, something in the pipe, usually roots or a break, is catching waste.
Sewer smell outside
A smell near the cleanout or over the yard can mean a cracked pipe venting gas into the soil.
A dip in the yard or drive
Soil washing into a broken pipe can leave a depression or a small sinkhole above it.

Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Clovis
Lining suits a pipe that still holds its shape: cracks, root entry, corrosion and small offsets. Bursting suits a pipe that is collapsed, flattened or too small, because it replaces the line rather than coating it.
