Every job starts with a camera, so you see the problem before you pay for a fix. Older homes near Old Town and Western Avenue often have clay or cast iron pipes that crack and let roots in.

Trenchless Sewer Replacement in Avondale Without Digging Up Your Yard
Has someone told you that you need a full sewer line replacement in Avondale? You may not need to dig. With trenchless sewer replacement, the liner becomes a brand new pipe inside the old one. You get a new sewer line, and your yard stays the way it is.
Lining works for most pipes that are cracked, leaking or full of roots. It does not work for a pipe that has fully collapsed, or one with a deep sag that holds water. If that is what the camera shows, we will tell you before any work starts.

A camera shows us where the pipe is cracked, leaking or full of roots. You see the video too.
Cleaning and Preparation
We hydro jet the pipe to clear out roots, grease and buildup so the liner can stick.

PROUDLY SERVING AVONDALE, AZ
Camera Inspection First, and Who Pays for What in Avondale
Every sewer line repair in Avondale starts with a camera inspection. It shows where the damage is, how big it is, and whether lining can fix it.
The video also helps answer a common question: who pays? In Avondale, the city code splits the sewer line in two:
- Your part: the house sewer that serves your property. You keep it clean and clear. On a single-family home or duplex, you pay to repair or replace it.
- The city’s part: the house connection. The city pays to repair or replace it.
The city checks where the break is with its own video inspection (Avondale City Code sections 24-91 and 24-92). If our camera shows the break is on the city’s side, call the City of Avondale before you pay for a repair.

Common Sewer Line Problems in Avondale Homes
These are the problems we see most often on Avondale camera inspections:
Tree Roots
Roots sneak into small gaps in older pipes and keep growing until the line clogs.
Cracked Clay Pipe
Common in older homes around Old Town and Western Avenue.
Rusty Cast Iron
Cast iron rusts from the inside. Over time the pipe gets narrower and drains slow down.
Shifted Joints
Avondale's hard, clay-like soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That movement can pull pipe joints apart.
Backups that keep coming back? If your main line backs up again after it was snaked, the pipe itself is often damaged.
Signs your sewer line needs help:
- Slow drains in more than one sink or tub
- Toilets that gurgle
- A sewer smell inside or outside the house
- A wet or extra-green patch in the yard
For drain pipes inside the house, see Trenchless drain repair. For heavy grease and roots, see Hydro jetting.
EPIPE WATER LINE REPAIR
ePIPE Water Line Repair for Pinhole Leaks in Avondale
Tired of pinhole leaks in your copper water pipes? You fix one small leak, and a few months later another one pops up. That is because Avondale’s hard water wears down copper pipes from the inside. Patching one spot does not help the rest of the pipe. ePIPE fixes the whole line without tearing out walls or floors.
Older Avondale homes raise a second question: galvanized steel supply lines, which corrode internally and slowly choke off pressure. Whether a system is a candidate for lining or for a whole-house repipe depends on how much pipe wall and flow is left. We assess that before recommending either, and we will tell you when lining is not the right answer.
How ePIPE water line repair works:
- We dry and clean the inside of your water pipes.
- We coat the inside with an epoxy that is NSF/ANSI 61 certified for drinking water.
- The coating seals the pinholes and protects the pipe from hard water.
Avondale gets its water from several sources, including river water, Colorado River water and groundwater. All of it is hard. ePIPE is built to last 75+ years and comes with a 10-year warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions About Trenchless Sewer Repair in Avondale
Who pays to fix a broken sewer line in Avondale?
It depends on where the break is. For a single-family home or duplex, you pay for repairs to the house sewer on your side, and the City of Avondale pays for repairs to the house connection. The city checks the location with a video inspection. Our camera shows you where the damage is first.
Is no-dig sewer repair cheaper than digging?
Often, yes. It can save up to 30% compared with digging up and replacing the pipe, because there is no trench, no broken concrete and no yard to rebuild. Your price depends on how long the pipe is, its size, its condition and how easy it is to reach. We give you a written estimate after the camera inspection.
Can you fix a sewer line under my slab or driveway without breaking it up?
In many cases, yes. The liner goes in through a cleanout or a small opening, so we can fix a sewer line under a slab, driveway or patio without tearing up what is on top. The camera tells us if your pipe is a good fit.
How long does trenchless sewer repair take?
Most jobs take a couple of days. Small jobs can be done in one day. In most cases you can stay home. We will tell you ahead of time if there is a period when you should not run water.
Which Avondale neighborhoods do you work in?
All of Avondale. That includes older homes in Historic Avondale and the 85323 area, and newer neighborhoods like Garden Lakes, Coldwater Springs and Rio Crossing. Old sewer lines and leaky copper water pipes are the problems we fix most.
My main line keeps backing up after it was snaked. Do I need cleaning or a repair?
A snake often just pokes a hole through the clog instead of clearing it. Hydro jetting cleans the whole pipe wall to wall. Then a camera shows what is going on. If the pipe looks good, you are done. If there is a sag, a shifted joint or roots in a crack, that is why it keeps backing up, and a repair is the fix.
My older Avondale home still has galvanized water pipes. Do I need a whole-house repipe?
Not automatically. Galvanized steel supply lines corrode from the inside, and what usually brings people to us is falling pressure, discoloured water, or repeated leaks rather than the pipe material on its own.
The condition of the system decides the answer. Some pressurised water lines are candidates for ePIPE epoxy restoration, which cleans and seals the pipe from the inside with no walls opened. A line that has lost too much wall or too much flow is a repipe conversation instead. We assess before recommending either.
Do I need a permit? Do you handle it?
Most sewer and water line repairs need a plumbing permit from the City of Avondale. We pull the permit and set up the inspections for you, so the job is done to code.
What warranties do you offer?
Sewer and drain lining comes with a 20-year warranty. ePIPE water line repair comes with a 10-year warranty. Contact us to set up a camera inspection.
Is ePIPE safe for drinking water?
Yes. The epoxy is NSF/ANSI 61 certified for drinking water, so it is safe for the pipes that feed your kitchen and bathrooms.
