sewer spot repairs
Our detailed repair estimates take into account both your schedule and your budget.
Friendly office staff will coordinate with you to ensure a smooth repair with minimal disruptions. We are licensed and bonded and can pull all necessary permits. All work is completed to code, and our technicians handle any required code changes and organize the inspection with the appropriate building department. The day of the repair, our professional plumbers secure the area with barricades and caution tape, preparing a safe, clean environment.
Before excavation begins, a Bullseye technician–in conjunction with USA–clears the area for unknown utilities. Once excavation has begun, we maintain safety and cleanliness by shoring trenches with safety equipment and by storing excavated soil to better preserve your landscaping and property. Our technicians have the unique ability to identify secondary leaks, so repairs are not complete until the plumbing line passes a second inspection. When an excavation must remain open for inspection, we ensure that the area is safe and secure by laying down trench plating and barricades. To finish, our crew can patch back most hardscape surfaces.

sewer pipe replacements
Using the same principles as those listed above, our plumbing crew can also replace the entire sewer line.
After excavating the length of the pipe, we remove the old piping and install a new line. Material options include ABS, DWV/PVC, cast iron, and CIOD (fused, jointed PVC pipe).
Sand or gravel bedding protects the new sewer pipe from wear and tear.
Trenchless Sewers
Before moving forward with a trenchless sewer line replacement, we always perform a sewer video inspection.
We look for a few key factors that indicate the line is a good candidate for the trenchless method: good grade and no bellies. We then excavate at both ends of the line and expose the existing sewer line connections. This minimizes damage to the property by limiting the amount of excavation to both hardscape and landscape.
Our trenchless sewer Process
Trenchless sewer line replacements utilize the bursting method.
We feed a large steel cable through the old sewer line. The end of the steel cable is fitted with a bursting head. Using a fusion welding machine, we create one continuously welded SR11 sewer line, which we then connect to the bursting head. We mount a hydraulic press at the end of the old sewer line and pull the new line from there. Once we have the new line in place, we plumb it into the existing system. Depending on your county and its specific permitting requirements, we then perform either a sewer video inspection or a pressure test of the sewer system to ensure a successful installation.
