We’ve all been there: standing in the shower with water up to our ankles, or worse, catching a whiff of a foul odor that just won’t stop despite regular plumbing maintenance. Sewer issues are never pleasant, and in Houston, they can hit especially hard.
At Frontline Underground Plumbing, we’re a Houston-based team with years of experience tackling the city’s toughest sewer challenges. We know the frustration of a backed-up line or a stubborn clog, even with proper maintenance, and we’re here to deliver trenchless sewer repair in Houston that gets your plumbing system flowing smoothly again—without destroying your yard.
Houston’s sewer lines have a daily grind. The city’s unpredictable weather and the items we flush down, such as grease, hair, and food scraps, constantly stress those pipes.
Our clay-rich soil shifts with each heavy rain or dry spell, causing pipes to sag or “belly” over time. The dip makes it difficult for waste to flow, resulting in backups. Add decades of wear, and even the most durable lines begin to crack after 40 or 50 years.
We can often tell when something is wrong before it becomes a mess. Gurgling sounds in your sink or tub indicate that air is trapped in the line, even with regular maintenance.
Clogged toilets, raw sewage in your shower, or a foul odor emanating from your pipes are more than just annoyances. These are red flags signaling a need for immediate maintenance. We’ve seen property managers in Katy handle tenant complaints about backups, and homeowners in Sugar Land contact us about strange odors. If you notice any of these issues, don’t wait.
Trenchless sewer repair in Houston lets us fix or replace your sewer line without turning your yard into a construction zone. Instead of digging long trenches, we create small access points at each end of the damaged section.
This method cuts down on mess, cost, and downtime. We’ve helped building owners in Pearland get back to business fast, and homeowners in Friendswood avoid losing their prized landscaping. It’s a game-changer for underground repairs.
We use two main trenchless techniques to tackle sewer issues: pipe relining and pipe bursting. Both get the job done with minimal disruption.
We start by inspecting your sewer line with a high-tech camera to spot the damage. Then, we insert a flexible, resin-soaked liner into the pipe through a small access point.
The liner gets inflated, pressed against the old pipe’s walls, and cured with steam or UV light. Once hardened, it’s a seamless new pipe inside the old one—stopping leaks, cracks, and root intrusion. We recently relined a line for a Missouri City homeowner, fixing a root-damaged pipe without touching their driveway.
For lines too far gone to reline, we turn to pipe bursting. We dig small entry points and pull a bursting head through the old pipe, breaking it apart as we go.
A new, durable HDPE pipe follows right behind, taking its place. This method works well under roads or buildings, like when we replaced a sewer line for a Jersey Village complex without closing their parking lot. The new pipe resists corrosion and roots, giving you years of worry-free service.
Trenchless sewer repair in Houston works for many situations, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all fix. If your pipe has minor cracks, leaks, or root issues, relining can do the trick.
But if the line is severely collapsed, misaligned, or riddled with damage, we might need to replace it entirely. We’ve had to dig up lines for some Rosenberg properties when the damage was too extensive. A full replacement can be more invasive, but it lets us install tougher pipes for the long haul.
We look at a few factors to pick the best approach for your sewer line. Here’s what we consider:
Root intrusion is another factor. Relining can help, but severe cases might need a full swap. We also weigh your budget—trenchless is usually easier on the wallet—and the timeline. A Bellaire property manager once needed a quick fix before tenants moved in, and trenchless got it done in a day.
Trenchless sewer repair in Houston typically runs between $60 and $250 per foot. For a 100-foot line, that’s about $3,000 to $15,000, depending on the damage and access.
Traditional excavation, on the other hand, can cost $6,000 to $25,000 or more. Digging up a line means higher labor costs, plus expenses for restoring your yard or driveway. We’ve seen Cinco Ranch homeowners save thousands by going trenchless, avoiding landscaping repairs.
We’ve been fixing Houston’s sewers for decades, and we’ve seen how trenchless tech changes the game. It’s faster—often done in a day—compared to a week of digging.
It’s also gentler on your property. No need to rip up your lawn or repave your driveway. A River Oaks client was thrilled we fixed their sewer line without touching their garden. Plus, it’s better for the environment, disturbing less soil and greenery.
We work with homeowners across Houston, from Webster to Royal Oaks, tackling everything from small clogs to major breaks. Property managers in Memorial City rely on us to keep tenants happy with minimal disruption.
Building owners, whether small offices in Rosenberg or larger complexes in Jersey Village, trust us to handle their systems with care. No job’s too big or small—we bring the same precision to every project.
We’re not here to push unnecessary fixes. As Houston plumbers and excavators, we’ve built our reputation on honesty and results since we started.
Our team uses top-notch tools, from cameras to trenchless gear, to get it right the first time. We’re licensed, insured, and committed to leaving you satisfied. A Katy homeowner recently thanked us for saving their new patio during a sewer repair—that’s the kind of win we live for.
Reach out, and we’ll start with a no-pressure chat about what’s going on. We can often schedule a same-day visit to check things out.
Our techs break down the issue in plain terms—no jargon. You’ll get a clear plan and upfront pricing, whether it’s a quick reline or a full replacement. We clean up after ourselves, leaving your property as we found it.
A small sewer problem can turn into a big headache fast. We’ve seen untreated backups flood basements in Pearland and cause health hazards in Friendswood—it’s not worth the risk.
Trenchless sewer repair in Houston lets us resolve the issue quickly and cleanly. Whether you’re a homeowner watching for clogs or a property manager keeping a building running, we’ve got you covered.
