$18000 for a sewer lateral!!? Talk about trying to screw me. I found one company for $8k....same work...same machine...same material. Settled for Challenge Router $6500. Family owned. Let me pay out of escrow since I was selling my Oakland property and had to pay for staging etc. Found out another company would have done it for $5800. However, I don't mind paying for quality so I was fine with Challenge. My point being...these guys at Trenchless have lost their minds. Sorry no sucker here. Talk about gouging. I'm sure you'll see some cut and pasted response to this like "we use the highest quality blah blah blah". Steer clear unless you like paying 60% mark up. read more

Fair pricing and very efficient work. Great customer service. They came in and fixed broken sewer line in 1 day. They handled all the permits and it was a very smooth process. Very pleased with the experience. read more

Excellent crew! Polite fast clean and reliable! Highly recommend!!! Best plumbers ever!!!!

We were very happy with our sewer line replacement by Advanced Trenchless. We had a challenging system, with a backyard full of roots. The AT crew led by Juan was outstanding - all very hard working as a team. They were well equipped and dealt with unexpected challenges to finish on estimated time. We highly recommend AT. read more

Wonderful people and company to work with! I called these folks due to a blocked line that wouldn't allow my toilet to flush and they were quick, reliable, efficient, and fair priced. Michael came to my home with a trainee and while they worked they kept my Mother, who was on sight, aware of the problem and how they intended to fix it. They were in and out within an hour and a half and we couldn't be happier! Advanced Trenchless provided us with a two hour time frame which was appreciative as well as sending an email and text reminder of the appointment the day of and the day before. The day of I also received a text with the name and photo of the specialist who would be coming out, extremely appreciative! Overall, we are happy with the service we received and would recommend them. read more

Advanced Trenchless were super helpful, courteous, and professional. We needed to have a tree root ball removed from the sewer line and they were able to take care of it within 24 hours of me calling, and they were very reasonable. I highly recommend them! read more

We called them because the city of Vallejo was offering to offset the costs of having our upper lateral drain pipe replaced. They set up a time to come and their technician arrived on time. The young man proceeded to inspect our pipes using a camera and reported that our pipes were cast iron, in excellent condition and not in need of replacement. He thanked us and left. While we did not engage in repairs with them, the fact that they came out and did an inspection for free and then provided a clear report-back speaks volumes. Should I need this kind of work in the future, I will definitely call them. read more

Oh, my goodness do I recommend Advanced Trenchless! We had smells in two different rooms and thank goodness I went with them, considering the different auto Yelp responses I could have went with. Artie was the most friendly, respectful, and knowledgeable sewer specialist I've met! He explained everything in detail. It was like a long time friend coming over with all this knowledge and camera gear, and he made us feel like he was genuinely happy to be here. And he was! I could tell he loves helping people. It's not just another job to him. How's that for service these days! Advanced Trenchless will be my first call, from now on. read more

As a real estate professional, I deal with so many service companies and Advanced Trenches was amazing on every point. They actually cared, had a quick response time. They provided quality work with a professional attitude. Gene was great at communicating a perfect solution.Thank you so much! I highly recommend them as a company. read more

Todd was the Technician that came to my house to video my main sewer line. He was very knowledgeable, professional and clearly explained the current condition of my sewer line. Unfortunately for me, my 62 year old sewer line needs to be replaced. read more

A couple years ago, Advanced Trenchless replaced the large pipe under our sloped front yard to the street for which I wrote a five-star review for their outstanding work. Today, they did another project for us, replacing part of the pipe under our house where roots had gotten in, and again, the work was outstanding. Juan, Jerry, and Brian arrived exactly on schedule, were most efficient, professional, thorough, conscientious, and friendly, and they kept us informed the whole time, and cleaned up beautifully after. Also, I appreciated the care they took with a plant that had to be removed since we planned to replant it elsewhere. And finally, I should mention that the initial free consultation and camera work was also a very good experience (and I'm sorry I didn't catch the name of the person who helped us with that). I continue to highly recommend Advanced Trenchless. read more

This is an update to my previous rave review. Quick synopsis: Advanced Trenchless did an UNBELIEVABLY good job restoring my yard/porch/planter boxes/etc, after doing the work. They even fixed an old, broken planter box that had fallen apart when they tried to pick it up, which was definitely going above and beyond the call of duty. You should read the whole review below, because I stand by everything I said; they did a PHENOMENAL job. On to the update: It turned out that a mistake had been made while doing the work, although it took me a couple of days to realize. Water to the house was restored, but water to the garden was accidentally not connected properly. (The water was connected to an old, abandoned pipe, which for some reason lies *on top* of the new, in-use pipe.) Advanced Trenchless had outstanding customer service, was very responsive by phone, and got the problem fixed fairly quickly. (Someone came out to look at it within 1-2 days, and the problem was fixed within a week.) I was impressed by the customer service, and by how quickly they were able to squeeze me in (considering they'd moved onto other jobs by the time I contacted them), and I was pleasantly surprised that they didn't charge me anything for the fix. I continue to be very, very happy with my experience, and plan to use them again. Just amazing top-of-the-line service from beginning to end. read more

These guys are awesome! They did a great job at replacing a section of sewer line.

I suspected a backup at the end of the property. Scheduled a sewer inspection. The process was painless and had a text confirmation with in minutes for the next available spot. Artie P. showed up a few days later right on time to my 2hr window and was very thorough. Answered all my annoying questions professionally. It appears the back up may have occurred in a manhole off my property too far to for the camera line to confirm. In the end he couldn't find anything wrong with my sewer line but if ever have any issues I know who to call. Great service. read more

Advanced Trenchless replaced two sewer lines on my 50+ year house and they did a wonderful job. All of the staff I worked with from the office, estimators, and field team were an absolute pleasure to work with. The job was done on time and perfect in every way. I would highly recommend them to anyone for all of your plumbing needs. Sincerely Andrew K. read more

We bought our first house in 2018 and we have been having plumbing issues because of roots, which is not covered under our home warranty. This has been driving us crazy. We tried calling a friend who is a "plumber" which would help but only temporarily. We finally broke down and called a real plumber and we are totally satisfied. We did some research and called a few companies & we chose Advanced Trenchless. Artie the technician was incredibly polite, informative, knowledgeable and professional! I hope his company realizes the value and potential this gentleman has. We will certainly use and recommend Advanced Trenchless for future plumbing needs! -Ramon read more

W I N N E R - 5 Stars from here on Earth to the Moon..... History / Why / Process (breakdown): - For all you homeowners selling your home (built in 1980's) in West Contra Costa County.... you will need to conduct a sewer inspection. If your sewer line is not perpendicular to the City sewer line HONEY you will need to fix prior to selling your home - OMG really... $$$ - My dad was calling all sewer repair companies from the Bay Area to Sacramento and he saw reviews on Yelp for Advanced Trenchless (5 stars across the board) - This company made the process seamless....... Provided the quote, Fix the Sewer Line to be up to code ($3,800 WORTH IT), worked with the City for approval and sign off (customer has no interaction with the City), staff communicated with the customer status (approved, repatch the grass lawn, and what to expect) & lastly city provided us (customer) via mail the hard copy of the sign off...ALL in 1 DAY Ladies and Gay Men - the workers are easy on the eyes too (cute, hott, and muscular)..... Ohhh I wished he fixed my LINE - ok I need to stop before Yelp suspends my account again lol...... read more

Advanced Trenchless - Advanced Trecnhless talking with the City of Hercules for APPROVAL (we passed) - Plumbing Near Me - Martinez, California

See all

Just finished my sewer inspection with them and I can definitely can understand the five star review that they have. Vince was the technician that came by and he is highly professional, answered all of my questions and they have the BEST prices in the market ( I called at least 5 different companies ) read more

Very responsive and worked with us on obtaining an accurate estimate for the job that had been quoted in previous years. Showed up on time and cleaned up nicely. If you need to replace your SL I highly recommend AT. read more

We used them last year for installation of new sewer line. This year they fixed backed up kitchen sink. Timely, professional, friendly, reliable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! read more

Just want to give a quick update. It's been a little over 6 years since they installed the new lateral line. This morning my line was backing up. Thankfully, they have a 20 year warranty and they came out and put their camera in and found that there was a root in the CITY main line. So they cleaned it out the best they could and the city will come out to finish it. Great work ethic and they are a A class company! read more

Artie Pacheco arrived on time, was friendly and kind and solved the problem.

When you need a job done, just hire these guys. I have been dealing with plumbing issues since late March. I haven't had access to my yard since May (it's now almost Aug). My landlord hired a hack general contractor to try and fix the broken pipe leading to the sewer underneath the road. He supposedly tried to get permitting to finish the job, only after he dug up my yard trying to get to the pipe. Finally, he hired Advanced Trenchless. Within a few days they had the proper permits and began working. The crew was friendly and kept me in the loop every step of the way. They were awesome with my 3 dogs and never put any undue stress on myself, finance and pups. In just a couple days of work, they are now done and I am just disappointed I wasn't able to get them hired sooner. Well done you guys. Wish I could give 7 stars. read more

I didn't know that almost all the plumbing technicians work on a commission. It's why they find so many problems when they come out. Advanced Trenchless does not operate like that. They've been so helpful in teaching us how to manage our older homes problems while going beyond what they charge. This company is quite the opposite of "well respected" plumbing companies that rely on their established name to get our business. We totally recommend Advanced Trenchless! read more

Artie is amazing!!! He has helped us reliably for years now. He is courteous, knowledgeable and kind. Thanks so much for your help keeping everything working. :) read more

Can't begin to thank these guys. On time, solved the problem, got it right, friendly, informative, didn't give up on the problem etc.

Great price, wonderful service. Coordinated with sewer company. Ran camera through the line before and after installation. Friendly people, kept us informed throughout the project. read more

Incredible Professional and honest. They came out to check my house to street line and gave me the free advice. The line was going to be fine with yearly maintenance ( extremely reasonable quote) . Artie P. gave me a great revue of the line... This was after a BIG NATIONAL company gave me a crazy quote to fix, but when I balked it was cut in half in 15 minutes!! Obviously Advanced Trenchless has won my respect. TY --- We need more maintenance companies of this caliber read more

We needed a trenchless replacement from our house to the street. Advanced Trechless came with very hi-tech equipment and looked very professional. They said that the city wouldn't let me only replace and test one section, and gave me a quote for replacing the entire lateral (4 times the price I paid in the end for the part I wanted). I checked with the City of Berkeley and they said they would approve just a section (if I wasn't selling the house). I asked Advanced Trenchless for a quote for just the part from the house to the street. I got another quote, still including items I didn't need and twice what I paid in the end for a very competent job that was signed off right away. Look carefully at the items on their quote and make sure you actually need them. read more

I highly recommend Advanced Trenchless. Todd and his crew quickly identified the pipe leak, helped me arrange for a company to come in to do the waste cleanup and then repaired the pipe very efficiently. I was kept informed every step of the way and they left the work area spotlessly clean. This was a tough project and they did a great job! read more

Wonderful small company to work with. So professional so personable! Price was fantastic at several thousands under comparative bids for pipe burst sewer pipe repair. No hidden fees. The yard looks like they were never digging there. Everything seems to be working fine now one week later. read more

As homeowner for 35 yrs, one of my fears was having to replace my sewer line as I've heard how difficult it is to find the right company and a reasonable price. Advanced Trenchless was recommended by our plumber (an immediate "green flag") who said they're a great company that will tell you straight up what problems their finding. Everyone I talked to at this company (estimator, field techs, office staff) were experienced at what they did, listened to my concerns, offered options and recommendations. What sold me on this company were my first interactions with their technician doing initial inspection and follow up discussions with estimator/scheduler - they were competent, explained in laymen's terms what specific damages I had (and literally showed me), answered my questions about options and explained whats allowed by code along with any risk. Their recommended solution totally made sense, their cost estimate was fair & reasonable, and ultimately the manner in which they manage their business gives me the confidence to recommend this company for others to chose. read more

Technician was on the job ahead of time, and very efficient. Extremely professional, and polite. Highly recommended!

The crew that came did a great job. They kept me informed while replacing my sewer line. They also did a great job cleaning up. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Company did an excellent job. After getting several quotes no company even came close price wise. They also included all parts of the project and did not have extra charges or add-ons (like driveway repair where they needed to add the overflow). read more

I've used Advanced Trenchless in the past for small clean out jobs. But I recently had to replace my sewer main from the cleanout to the street. A job that I have been putting off for quite some time. The crew that did my job did a fantastic job and was done in a day. Hopefully I never have to call them again but if I have ever have sewer problems I would definitely use them again. read more

Oh my gosh, Thank you for coming to our rescue. Service was so quick. We had such a mess on our hands and one call is all it took. The visit was quick also. The men were very polite. No mess left behind either. Definitely deserves more than 5 stars. Thank you so much! read more

Yelpers nailed it! Recently replaced my sewer lateral with Advanced Trenchless. Fast, efficient & very competitive pricing. Their inbox for "FreeEstimate@trenchless.com" is not monitored so be sure to call them direct. read more

Finally got my sewer done, my old pipe had a off set in it from when we bought our Martinez house in 99. Sewer main replacement and road work on our street last year took out the pipe the rest of the way. Could not clean out past the off set "my plumber said" We saved our money, collected quotes, and chose Advanced Trenchless. Everything went as planned, one day service, neat and clean, on budget. All the city permits and inspections done Great company to work with, thank you. read more

Contracted for sewer line trenchless replacement in contra costa county. They left work undone for months, we had to call them several times before they responded, wanted payment even though contract says payment at completion, wanted to add thousands $ more before they will complete their work. Original contract cost was very high compare to another company. We hired them due to yelp reviews and regretted it. This is why we want to let other know on yelp about our disappointments with this outfit. Hopefully others will be wiser from our experience. 11/15/19. To respond to Advanced Trenchless, the work location was in Contra Costa County by Advanced Trenchless,. Work started and stretched out for 9 months for trenchless sewer replacement by Advanced Trenchless,. The same job would take other companies 1 to 4 days. read more
