TrenchFree stands as the Bay Area's sole dedicated trenchless plumbing contractor.
Our primary focus is trenchless plumbing, not an afterthought.
Focusing on innovative methods like pipelining, directional drilling, pneumatic boring, and pipe bursting,
TrenchFree provides superior pricing and service for all aspects of no-dig underground pipeline and conduit work.
From our Silicon Valley base, our fleet serves the whole San Francisco Bay Area.
Juan Diaz started JD Plumbing in 2007, which evolved into TrenchFree.
TrenchFree presents numerous non-invasive plumbing solutions for the Bay Area's historic landscapes and architecture,
such as earth-piercing, pipe bursting, horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) rehabilitation.
Juan saw the need to go the TrenchFree method as this requires little to no digging on street and home landscaping.

Antonio showed up within 45 minutes of my call to assess the water main break from meter to house. He wrote up a quote and within 2 hours Benjamin showed up to create a temporary bypass line to stop the water meter from spinning and costing me more $$$. They organized all the USA markings and came back a few days later. Benjamin and Arturo worked in concert to quickly, efficiently and very cleanly install a new line and conclude the work within 4 hours. Up and running and have not seen a better operation in a long time! Job well done and would certainly recommend TrenchFree to anyone else that is in need of these types of services.

TrenchFree did a superb job of installing a new water main line without breaking an inch of my concrete. The task was complicated and the opening at the front of the house was quite small. Yet they didn't touch any concrete at all.
They were very confident from the get go about handling this task easily. Their price was the lowest amongst 3 quotes that I got and it was completed in just a day. The main line was of copper and no joint whatsoever underground. From the meter to the main entrance, one single pipe.
Highly recommend them. They have the right people & machines to get the job done. They were very thorough in ensuring the sewer line wasn't impacted due to the underground drilling. They put a camera from the sewer vent on the top of the house, all the way until the cleanout to ensure nothing was impacted.
Their foreman Armanda was excellent to work with. And Antonio made the process very smooth from the quote to completion.
Oh also, they were very helpful & prompt in setting up a temporary water main within an hour of me detecting a massive leak. They came in after hours and got the job done quickly to ensure we had a water in the house.

Very professional speedy and contact explaining the work done highly recommend to any property owner

I hired Carlos and his crew to replace my old sewer lateral. For a week I had problems with sewage backup at my home. Paid a few plumbers to hydrojet the line and report all clear. After the line continued to backup I got a few inspections and quotes. Found out my line was made out of Orangeburg pipe and was deteriorated. Trench free came in at the best price for pipebursting and replacement. It took a couple of weeks for his crew to come and do the job. In between the wait the line clogged again. Carlos as promised sent a tech to hydrojet and clear the line for me for free while waiting for the replacement. His crew did an excellent job and I have had no further issues with my line. He even modified the original quote to reduce the cost after his team decided it was unnecessary to replace my old clean out. Thanks Trenchfree!

TrenchFree replaced my sewer line and drainage Fall 2022. Three months later, heavy rain hit bay area and my crawl space had water. Carlos came and evaluated the problem and promised me that they will fix it. They did in two weeks.
I worked with them a few days, they are friendly and hardworking crew. They come on time, quiet and clean up every day.
Carlos is such a nice person and easy to talk to. I also want to thank Hector, Jacob, Luis and other team members, for their professionalism and hard work.
I would highly recommend this company.

After two flooding incidents over Thanksgiving, I knew it was finally time to replace our old sewer lateral (damaged by roots from the city tree). I promptly gathered estimates from five different plumbers. Not only was this company the most competitive in price, they also had the endorsement of three real estate colleagues.
I was impressed by every person on the team from Carlos who conducted the initial site visit/estimate, to Antonio who coordinated/scheduled permits, to Hector, Chon, and crew who did the excavation/installation. Hardworking, knowledgeable, and tidy, they got the job done in two days! We passed inspection without issue. I highly recommend this professional team.

The least I could do is write a review for them. In my experience, they are the most genuine service company on yelp. Not after your money but the customer satisfaction.
I would like to mention about Carlos, such a gentleman, kind and super knowledgeable.
Great experience right from chatting with them for requesting the service on Yelp until having them on-site for the inspection.
THANK YOU!

I needed to replace the sewer line in front of the house and these guys were terrific to work with! So great they didn't need to tear up all my landscaping! They thoroughly explained the process, were conscientious in their work, cleaned up the area each day and answered all my questions. They made sure that the irrigation and electrical system were in working order and even came back to remove all the PG&E markings on the pavement. The entire team (on sight and in the office) were very responsive and so nice to work with; can't say enough good things! Thank you TrenchFree..!

The City of Morgan Hill started in June 2022 a new requirement for PSL (private sewer line) Inspections prior to selling a house. They also have a Grant Program that reimburses the homeowner up to 50% of costs for repair or replacement.
I requested my first replacement bid from TrenchFree and Carlos came out and viewed the video I received from the inspection I paid for from another company that doesn't do repairs but used his own camera to view the sewer and gave a free esitmate. I needed two more estimates for the Grant Program, it was like pulling teeth to get the estimates and some Contractors wanted to charge from $250-500 just to give a bid. I submitted my three bids and the city chose TrenchFree as the lowest and approved the Grant.
I can't say enough about how great they were to work with all while I had already relocated out of state for retirement!
Probably not space to mention all the contacts I had but Thanks Carlos for getting it all started and to all the others involved! With the reports/video I received and submitted, I was informed by the city that all looks good and my check from the Grant Program will be on the way!
I can't speak for other services but to All Home Sellers, if you need a PSL Inspection/Repair/Installation TrenchFree is the one to go with!

We had a broken sewer drain and broken sewer flapper valve, exiting our house, under our driveway. They had to cut out a square in the driveway to perfect the repairs. They did an extremely professional repair job splicing the broken pipe joint and updating the flapper valve; and then replaced the concrete that had to be removed. I give the extremely high marks in all aspects of the job. As a plus, they expedited the repair so we could use our plumbing that night.
