Company Overview

As an independent business, Affordable Trenchless & Pipe Lining boasts more than 20 years of experience in all facets of residential, commercial, and municipal plumbing. When you choose us, you can trust that the owner is involved in every detail of the project.

My entry into plumbing started with my father more than two decades ago. Our early work involved simple plumbing repairs. In 1998, I decided to start my own venture to take on more significant plumbing tasks. Since then, I have remained active and successful in the plumbing field. My father remains involved in the plumbing business.

As time has passed, I have ensured that I remain current with the newest plumbing innovations. We provide various trenchless solutions, including pipe bursting, CIPP lining, and line boring.

Our company provides subcontracting options for fellow plumbing contractors. We are actively partnering with multiple plumbing contractors. We guarantee that we will not seek to solicit your clients.

I do not engage in much advertising since referrals drive most of my work. By relying on referrals, we can offer more competitive pricing. We avoid sales tactics like ""Lowest price"" or ""We will beat any price"". What we offer is a straightforward and fair price. Our No Change Order Policy applies in most instances. You can expect to know the complete job cost upfront.

Our reputation and commitment to our customers have built our client base. We take pride in performing only the necessary work.

We have a team of two service technicians, a laborer, my wife Karen Petersen, who runs the office and schedules, and myself, Ryan Petersen. I oversee the majority of sewer line pulls and lining tasks. Yes, I am actively working in the field.

When I’m not working, which is rare, I enjoy bass fishing or camping with my wife and our two labs.

Highly recommend! Brent came out and did a second opinion on our sewer lines. He helped to confirm what we already suspected about our prior company (US) in a kind and helpful way. Great communication, not an alarmist, personable and like the name says, affordable! I will definitely recommend Affordable Trenchless to my clients in the future. So great to find an honest & trustworthy sewer company!
Update ~ Brent did an inspection for my client and gave her the diagnosis, recommendations, options, honest timelines and in no way pressured her. Extremely helpful. You've earned al my future business. After a horrible experience with the worst company in the area, I now will only deal with the best!

Ryan Petersen is an honest man. He could have capitalized on the bad advice I received from a local plumbing company about sewer pipe replacement. Instead he showed up and looked at my line and told me my ongoing issue was most likely the County's problem. The video he has posted on his website is a gift to the consumer because it warns you what not to say when getting an estimate. He has saved me from an unnecessary and costly repair that the County came out and resolved. By the way, they were fantastic too! I cannot recommend Ryan highly enough. He stands out as a tradesman that cares more about doing what's right rather than making a fast buck at the consumer's expense.

Very quick and affordable. Had another company want to charge me $500 more than affordable. I will continue to use them if needed in the future!

Affordable trenchless saved our family big! We had a big clog in the shower, low point in the house. They called back quickly and recommend the County come out first and inspect the easement. Turns out this was the correct diagnosis due to tree roots on the street side, saving our family a lot! Thanks Affordable!

Came out and gave me an estimate for my new drain to the sewer. Very professional and fair estimate. I really appreciated the honesty and service that was provided. I would definitely recommend this company to friends and family and will use them going forward as well. Thanks guys for the great help!

I'm a firm believer of praising a company that really has their act together. As a Realtor, I've had the pleasure of meeting up with Ryan at several sewer line inspections. In all my years, I don't think I have found a contractor who has better customer service and communication than this company (and Ryan in particular). At one of my homes where I was representing the buyer, we had issues locating the clean out (so did one of his employees) and Ryan came out personally and found it for us. My client was in a massive time crunch and Ryan was incredibly responsive via text not only letting me know he FOUND the clean out, but also that everything looked great. This was all within an hour at 7am on his last day before Christmas holiday!!! Listen up contractors!! Pay attention to this company and take note of a business run the right way! Thank you Ryan and Affordable Trenchless! You have this Realtors business for life.

Had Ryan out today to perform an inspection as I wanted a second opinion on my sewer line. Had a Bell Brothers out last week for an inspection after we had a clog. Was told I needed new clean outs and sewer line. Given an $8500 repair estimate. Ryan performed his inspection and felt our line was fine and that we did not need any repair. He did not want to charge me, but I'm sending something his way anyway. Nice to find an honest straight forward professional. If I need work in the future, he'll get the job. Check out his video of our line on YouTube. Search ""Sewer Inspection #151"". Look at the video dated 10/20/17.

I believe the reviews that they do good work at a good price. However realize it is a small company that can get spread thin. My appointment to get a bid on a major sewer line replacement was re-scheduled 3 times across 3 weeks, in a situation where my tenants had to move out because the line was so bad. I was also informed it would take them a month or so after bid acceptance to do the replacement. I would have liked to work with them, but I don't have the time, and their office wasn't responsive to my needs. High demand is part of success though; it seems everyone who can wait a month or two is happy with their service.

After two plumbers and five attempts at snaking on our own...we were two weeks with a clogged main. We couldn't get anyone out for days. Our friend referred us to Affordable Trenchless and they moved us to the top of the work list. Ryan guaranteed that a clean out would be installed that day...and it was! His crew came back out, ran a camera, showed us a video of the clog, and did the work in the same day. Ryan delivered exactly what he said he would. And at a very fair price. My husband is very picky and he said the clean out was perfect. We very much appreciate Ryan and the crew at affordable trenchless.

Affordable Trenchless & Pipe Lining is a great company! I had a clogged main line that ended up being caused by roots damaging the pipes. Several other plumbers quoted me way more than Brent did to move my clean out to the street and redo the pipe from the house to the street. Brent was great keeping me informed along the process and did a good job and did it quickly. He also worked with the city to get me a new clean out and I'm so grateful that he took that part on for me. I appreciate the work that Affordable Trenchless did and they really are affordable compared to many other companies. Would use these guys again in a heartbeat!
