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. Selecting our services means the owner is engaged in every aspect of your plumbing needs.

Over 20 years ago, I started in plumbing with my father. Initially, we focused on minor 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 is still active in the plumbing industry as well.

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.

Most of my clientele comes from referrals, so I do minimal advertising. This approach helps us keep our prices competitive. Our approach does not include sales pitches like ""Lowest price"" or ""We will beat any price"". We focus on delivering a complete and fair price. Our No Change Order Policy applies in most instances. You will know the total cost of the job before we begin.

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

Our company includes two service techs, a laborer, my wife Karen Petersen, who oversees the office and job scheduling, and me, Ryan Petersen. I oversee the majority of sewer line pulls and lining tasks. Indeed, the owner is hands-on in the field.

In my rare free time, I like to go bass fishing or camp with my wife and our two labs.

If I could give Affordable Trenchless & Pipe Lining (ATPL)10 stars, I would. They were the most efficient, effective, reasonable, and honest of three plumbing companies I called to analyze and remedy my clogged drainage. (First fact: a visiting guest, unbeknownst to me, flushed baby wipes down two differet toilets over one month's time, causing a horrific clog.) Two companies claimed that my 70-year old cast iron pipes were past their useful lives and likely had holes and cracks under the scale they observed on their cameras, which would mean that I would need to install $20,000 worth of Permaliner. The third company, ATPL, also viewed my lines with their cameras but did not see any indication of structural damage to the pipes under the scale. After physically removing a 6-inch ball of baby wipes that the first company left behind (more on this company later), they descaled and hydrojetted the pipes and showed me that the pipes were in excellent condition and I did not need a liner.
The first plumber, Mr. Rooter, routed and hydrojetted my lines for $1,600+ but left a huge ball of baby wipes behind. When I asked them to come back and remove the remaining wipes, they refused saying what the other company's camera showed was toilet paper and that my problem was scale and I needed Permaliner. Why then did they hydrojet my pipes for additioal $1,115 when they thought scale was the problem? I called the second plumber, The Trenchless Company (TTL), after the lines backed up just one day after Mr. Rooter left, with water all over the floor. TTL just flat out said my pipes were past their useful lives and would need a liner after descaling to cover cracks and holes, at a cost of $20,000, in addition to the costs I would also have to bear for pulling permits and repairing the patio concrete that they would have to destroy.
Whatever your clogged pipe problem is, make sure you call Affordable Trenchless & Pipe Lining for an honest appraisal and excellent work.

You must call these guys! We called rooter hero for a pipe clogged with grease and they were quoting us thousands of dollars. We called affordable Trenchless and they came out, told us what to do and fixed the issue for hundreds, not thousands. They didn't even charge for their initial visit to scope anything out. Hands down will use them again and refer the. To everyone I know. They are thorough and honest. I wish every company ran like this one.

Ryan, Brent and the whole crew went above and beyond my expectations of service they provided for replacing our old main sewer. They are fast, affordable and reliable. He even took care of my sink clog which is not something that was part of the original work. Great company and very quick. I called three other companies and their quote was just insane compared to them. Added bonus is they have a good relationship with the city so the permit process and inspection was done quickly. Also on their website they have a tutorial for getting quotes from other companies. Can't beat that kind of professionalism!

Brent was the nicest, coolest, oozing trustworthy person I have ever met in the field. Came out and gave me the great news that my plumbing was in nice clean shape and told me what parts I would need to worry about in the future. I know I've got big, expensive issues ahead of me and he could have sold me on an urgent fix now. The weather has certainly made it believable. Instead he assured me I had time to get my ducks in a row, that he would be there to fix it for me when I was ready and put my mind at ease.

In a trade where it is easy to take advantage of others, this company is the real deal. Thank you!

My experience with Affordable Trenchless was excellent from the start. They were the business that did the sewage inspection for a home I recently purchased. When I got in contact with them to ask for further information about their findings, they made the time to meet with me in person to talk about their assessment and rerun the snake at their own cost because they value their quality of service. I was dealing with main line blockage that had made my single bathroom unusable, and Affordable Trenchless wiggled me into their busy schedule. The staff that came on site was on time, courteous, thorough, and informative. Small businesses like this are not a dime a dozen, especially when it comes to sewage and plumbing services. If I need further help down the road, I will go right back to them.

Affordable's plumbers responded within hours to our request to help with a clogged sewer system. A different plumber who arrived hours earlier was unable to unclog the blockage and thought it was a 'collapsed pipe' issue, but Affordable's team and their stash of specialty tools fixed the problem in minutes! Affordable's team even showed me on their camera system my piping system, and provided recommendations how to maintain sewage open lines. Both of Affordable's plumbers were very nice and explained every step they took, which is consistent with the polite & immediate response we received when call Affordable's office. If you want the pros at a very reasonable price then don't waste your time with others - call in the pros (Affordable Trenchless)!

Brent came to my house to check the possible issue in the sewer line on time. he worked with me to show me what was in the sewer line and explained every step of the work, so, I can understand it clearly. after inspection, he also explained to me how to proceed for next and further steps.

he did everything what I was expected less than an hour.
This was second time (2 different location) I got help from them and so nice to work with them. I will ask them again if I have any sewer issues.

These guys are AMAZING! We needed repairs done ASAP due to the sale/closing of our house. I talked with Brent, explained our situation and he made it work on our schedule. He totally came through for us! Pipes cracked under our slab, he had about 5 guys out here to get the repair done. All of his guys were so nice, worked so hard! I can't say enough about them! Thank you to all of of you for the hard work and getting our job done so fast!

We had a main line stoppage at our home that we originally tried to get covered through home warranty with no luck. After 3 different plumbers came we finally reached out our real estate agent who recommended Affordable Trenchless & Pipe Lining.

Mike from Affordable came to our home the next day, video inspected our main line and fixed the problem in no more than 30 min. These guys know what they are doing, are reliable and at least in our case were incredibly efficient.

I will definitely be reaching out to them in the future if we ever have any other issues.

Brent Forman came to my home and quickly proved himself to be one of the best contractors I've worked with. He did a thorough inspection, offered sage advice that came from his years of experience, and an estimate that was way less than I was expecting.

Anything less than a 5-star review would be criminal on my part.

Thanks Brent!
