We discovered that our clay sewer pipe was sinking and needed to be replaced. The first contractor who evaluated the situation wanted to tear up nearly half the landscaped front yard to solve the problem. I saw a fleet of TrenchFree trucks on the freeway and called. I am so glad I did! The evaluation with cameras down the line was easy, Antonio was super knowledgeable and provided a truly reasonable option of replacing the line with flexible pipe. It required minimal digging. The crew that did the work was professional, communicative and left the yard looking like nothing had ever happened! Super impressed. Highly recommend TrenchFree.

I had just planted a new lawn when I needed to get an electrical line from one side of the yard to a pump on the other. TrenchFree showed up at 8am and was out by lunchtime. TrenchFree’s three-man team made a small hole at either end and one for a 90 degree turn. When they finished, they filled the holes, replaced the paving stones exactly as they were, swept up, and fed a tape through the pipe so the electrician could pull wires easily. The speed and professionalism blew my mind, and I am enjoying the new water feature in my yard.

We have an old home (by local standards), and our main waste line was buried under our slab foundation. The line was cracked, with dips and accumulated rust and gunk to the point of failure. Digging it up was unthinkable. TrenchFree came highly recommended, with a solution for our situation. They provide a cure-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining that essentially builds a new pipe inside the old janky one. Working with them was one of the best experiences I've had with a contractor/service provider. They came out to inspect, and showed us the issues with the line in real time with their inspection camera. This was not inexpensive work, so we got a few additional opinions. Comparing the bid experience, the referrals we got, and the confidence we felt in the proposal, we accepted the bid. The crew that came out to do the work were professional, neat, quiet, respectful, and skilled. They put in a full two days to complete the project, and kept us updated as they worked. When they were done, they buttoned up and left our home as clean as they found it. First, the CIPP solution was sort of magical. Amazing how it works, and absolutely perfect for our situation (hopefully it lasts!) Second, and equally importantly, I really could not have asked for anything more from the company. They are a quality team who care about customer satisfaction. It's a no-brainer to give them a full 5 stars.
