Orange's water is a blend of local groundwater and imported water, and it is hard. The city publishes the current figure in its annual water quality report. Regular water heater flushing helps, and a softener is worth considering on older copper or galvanized lines.

Trenchless Sewer Repair questions in Orange

What Orange homeowners most often ask us about trenchless sewer repair.

How long does trenchless sewer repair take in Orange?

Most jobs finish in a day. Pipe lining takes about four to eight hours. Pipe bursting can take longer, depending on the length of the line and the soil.

Does a trenchless repair last as long as a new pipe?

Yes. A properly installed cured-in-place liner is designed for 50 years or more, and pipe bursting installs new pipe with a similar lifespan.

Will my yard be damaged?

Very little. Access is needed at each end of the line, usually at a clean-out or a small excavation. The lawn, driveway, and hardscape between those points stay intact.

What customers say

★★★★★

I had a plumbing issue that needed to be repaired sooner than later. Miguel came out and knew how to fix it immediately. Miguel was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I won't hesitate to call them in the future.

I had an excellent experience with SoCal 1 Plumbing! Eliass came out to clear a blockage in my kitchen line by snaking it through the outside wall clean-out, and everything was done efficiently and with great care. He also installed new tubular drains under my kitchen sink to stop the leaks I’d been dealing with. The work was high-quality, and they even provided a 1-year warranty on parts and labor, which gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend their professional and reliable service!
