We fix damaged sewer lines in Fontana using several proven methods depending on the type and extent of damage. First, we conduct a thorough video inspection to precisely locate and assess the problem. For minor cracks or small breaks, we often use trenchless pipe lining where we insert a resin-coated liner that creates a new pipe within the damaged one. For more severe damage, pipe bursting may be necessary, which involves breaking the old pipe while simultaneously pulling a new pipe into place.
In cases of complete collapse or extensive damage, traditional excavation is sometimes required. We carefully dig to expose the damaged section, remove it, and install new piping before properly backfilling the area.
All our sewer line repairs comply with Fontana and San Bernardino County building codes. We handle all necessary permits and inspections to ensure your sewer repair is completed safely and legally, with minimal disruption to your property.
Yes, we can often repair sewer pipes without extensive digging in Fontana through trenchless technology methods. These modern techniques allow us to fix underground pipes with minimal disruption to your property, saving your landscaping, driveways, and hardscaping while often reducing overall project costs.
The most common trenchless methods we use include pipe lining (CIPP), where we insert a resin-saturated liner into the damaged pipe and cure it to form a new pipe inside the old one. Another method is pipe bursting, where we pull a new pipe through the old one while simultaneously breaking apart the damaged pipe.
We typically only need small access points at the beginning and end of the line rather than digging a trench along the entire length. Our team is fully trained and certified in these advanced techniques, and we've successfully completed numerous trenchless repairs throughout Fontana and surrounding communities in San Bernardino County.
Yes, California is gradually phasing out gas water heaters as part of its broader climate initiatives. In September 2023, the California Air Resources Board approved regulations requiring all new water heaters sold in the state to be zero-emission (primarily electric heat pumps) by 2030.
We want to assure our Fontana customers that this doesn't mean your existing gas water heater must be replaced immediately. The regulations apply to new constructions and replacements after the implementation date. Until then, we continue to install, repair, and maintain both gas and electric water heaters according to all applicable codes.
For customers considering their options, we can discuss the benefits of transitioning to energy-efficient heat pump water heaters, including potential rebates and incentives available in San Bernardino County. We stay current with all California regulations and can help you make informed decisions about water heater options that best suit your home's needs and budget.
