Sewer Lines Under Reno Homes
Desert heat in Reno drives landscape roots deep in search of water, and a leaking sewer joint is one of the few damp places they find.
What we run into in Reno
- Slab foundations. With a slab-on-grade home, the under-floor section is the hardest part of the line to dig. It is also the easiest part to line.
- Hard ground. Hard ground, whether caliche, granite or rock, makes every foot of trench slow and costly. Trenchless work limits digging to small pits.

Call (833) 529-2616Sewer Line Failures We See Around Reno
These are the failures behind most calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Reno, NV. A camera pass usually shows which one you have.
Root intrusion at the joints
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
Old pipe that is scaling, flaking or losing its round shape is relined if it still holds its form, or replaced by bursting.
Backup in the lowest drain
Sewage rising in a floor drain, shower or basement fixture is the line telling you it cannot carry the flow.
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.
Soggy or extra-green strip
A wet patch or a stripe of greener grass along the line's path is often a leak feeding the lawn.

Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Reno
The camera settles it. Sound but leaking pipe gets lined; broken-down pipe gets burst; a single bad spot gets a patch liner. A sag that holds water is the one case where a short dig may be needed.
Tell us roughly when the house was built and what keeps happening when you call (833) 529-2616. If a spot repair will do, you will be told so.

Reno Homes by the Numbers
Only about 6% of homes in Reno were built before 1950, so most laterals here are later materials, which tend to fail at joints and connections or from roots and ground movement rather than from old clay. Another 32% were built between 1950 and 1979, a stretch when cast iron, clay and fiber (Orangeburg) laterals were all still in use, and the median home overall dates from 1989. With roughly 55% single-family homes and 49% owner-occupied, most Reno sewer laterals belong to the property owner, who decides whether to line, burst or patch.
Reno covers about 109 square miles and holds roughly 268,959 residents, around 2,468 per square mile: spread out, with mostly detached homes on larger lots and longer runs between fixtures and the street. Among the 35 Nevada places we cover, it ranks number 4 by population.

Ring us. A sewer technician picks up, and quoting over the phone costs nothing.
Call (833) 529-2616How much does trenchless sewer line repair in Reno, NV cost?
Most lines cost an estimated $4,000 to $15,000 to line or burst, or about $80 to $250 per foot. A spot repair is estimated at $1,500 to $4,000, and the camera inspection at $150 to $500. Access pits in hard or rocky ground cost more to open, and that cost is listed on the quote you approve.
How long does trenchless sewer repair take?
One day for most homes, occasionally two. Expect the water to be off for a few hours while the liner cures.
Can a sewer line be replaced without digging?
Mostly, yes. Expect one or two small pits rather than a trench, and sometimes only a cleanout.
What are the disadvantages of trenchless pipe lining?
Lining cannot pass a full collapse or lift a sagging section, and it takes a little off the inside diameter. Bursting or a targeted dig handles those.
