With McDowell Drain & Waterproofing’ trench-less sewer line replacement, we eliminate the mess, disruption, and time-consuming nature of conventional methods.
Trench-less technology is designed to address these issues with minimal impact on your property and maximum efficiency.
At McDowell Drain & Waterproofing, we utilize advanced hydraulic equipment and innovative techniques to replace your sewer line quickly, cleanly, and efficiently.
Pipe Inspection and Diagnosis
A high-resolution camera is inserted into the existing pipe to assess its condition, pinpoint damage, and determine the best solution.
Hydraulic Equipment Setup
Two small access points are created at the start and end of the damaged sewer line. This eliminates the need for large trenches or extensive digging.
Old Pipe Removal
The damaged pipe is broken apart using a hydraulic bursting head, which creates space for the new pipe.
Pipe Replacement
A brand-new, durable pipe is pulled into place simultaneously as the old pipe is removed. The new pipe is seamlessly installed, ensuring proper alignment and flow.
Comprehensive Assessment
Our technicians conduct an in-depth inspection using advanced camera technology to assess the extent of the damage and recommend the best solution.
Custom Solution Design
We tailor our trench-less replacement approach to your specific needs, considering pipe material, size, and soil conditions.

We had some drainage issues and called McDowell Drain & Waterproofing. It was GREAT service, he called me right back and was here within 2 hours. Solved the problem and haven’t had any issues since. On top of great service, Stuart was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable! I would highly recommend and will certainly be calling him for any plumbing issues we may have in the future!:)
Sara Swayze
Professional from first contact to job completion. Job was to install a sewer backwater valve but once the floor was opened, it was evident that a sump pump installation was also required. Quickly pivoted to accommodate the additional work scope and still meet the timeline completion. Stuart, the owner is knowledgeable, professional and puts you at ease. Alex the installer did great work and paid attention to details. He was always receptive to any questions or concerns. Would not hesitate to recommend them for your plumbing needs.
