Sewer Line Repair in Hanford, CA

Sewer Line Repair & Section Replacement in Hanford

When a main sewer line breaks, shifts, or collapses, wastewater backs up into household bathtubs, showers, and toilets, creating an unsanitary emergency. In Hanford, sewer laterals frequently suffer damage from aggressive tree roots, ground settling from agricultural soil shifting, or deteriorated clay and Orangeburg pipes reaching the end of their design life. Our sewer repair specialists evaluate the line using CCTV camera technology and perform targeted sectional repairs or full line replacements using SDR-35 PVC pipe and heavy-duty shielded mission couplings compliant with municipal building codes.

How We Complete Your Service

1. Video Diagnostic & DigAlert 811 Verification: We verify the break location using our sewer camera and mark underground utility corridors (gas, electric, water) to ensure safe excavation.
2. Surgical Excavation & Pipe Exposure: Our excavation team safely trenches down to the damaged lateral section, shores the trench walls, and exposes the fractured or root-bound pipe.
3. Damaged Section Cutout & PVC Tie-In: The deteriorated pipe section is cut away, and a new PVC pipe section is installed with stainless-steel banded Fernco mission couplings to resist root entry.
4. Water Bedding, Code Sign-Off & Compaction: The line undergoes a municipal gravity flow inspection, is bedded in clean drainage gravel/sand, and backfilled with mechanical compaction to prevent soil settlement.
