Trenchless Sewer Repair
Fix the pipe, save the yard.
Tired of the idea of a backhoe tearing across your lawn? Most sewer and water lines in Clarksburg and Montgomery County can be repaired or replaced with trenchless methods, through one or two small access points instead of a full trench. Less mess, less time, less stress, and a stronger pipe than you started with.

Small access, big results
The smart choice
Less mess, less time, less stress
Traditional sewer repair means digging a long trench across your yard, then paying to put everything back. Trenchless methods fix or replace the pipe from inside or through small access points, so your lawn, driveway, and landscaping stay intact. We camera the line first to confirm trenchless is the right call, then pick the method that fits your pipe and your property. If a section is too far gone for trenchless, we will tell you honestly and walk you through traditional sewer line repair instead.
Our trenchless methods
Four ways to fix a line without the dig
We choose the right method for your pipe, your soil, and your property, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Pipe Lining (CIPP)
A resin-coated liner is inserted into the damaged pipe and cured in place, forming a strong new pipe inside the old one. No digging, and it seals cracks and leaks for decades.
Pipe Bursting
We pull a new pipe through the old one while bursting the old pipe outward, fully replacing the line without trenching up your yard or driveway.
Directional Boring (HDD)
We bore a precise underground path to install a new line, so driveways, walkways, and landscaping stay completely intact.
Sliplining
A new pipe is slipped inside the existing one to restore flow and stop leaks, a fast, low-disruption fix that avoids a full dig.

Why choose trenchless
The benefits add up fast
For the right pipe, trenchless wins on mess, time, cost, and how your property looks when we leave.
Less digging, less damage
Small access points instead of a trench means your yard, beds, and hardscaping survive.
Faster repairs
Most trenchless jobs are done in a day or two, not the week a full dig can take.
Lower total cost
Far less excavation, restoration, and landscaping to pay for after the repair.
Protects your property
Driveways, patios, mature trees, and lawn stay intact through the whole job.
Stronger, longer-lasting pipe
Modern liners and pipe materials that outlast the old line, often 50 years or more.

Where it works
What we use trenchless for
If the line runs underground and the pipe will take it, trenchless is usually on the table.
Sewer Lines
Cracked, rooted, or collapsed sewer mains repaired or replaced without a yard-long trench.
Water Lines
Aging or leaking main water lines replaced trenchlessly to restore pressure and stop leaks.
Under Driveways & Yards
Lines beneath driveways, patios, and landscaping fixed without tearing up what is on top.
Built for Maryland yards
Why this matters here
Established Clarksburg, Damascus, and Potomac neighborhoods have mature trees, finished driveways, and landscaping that a traditional dig would destroy. Trenchless lets us fix the failing line underneath while leaving the yard you love right where it is.
- Always start with a camera inspection to confirm the method
- Ask whether lining, bursting, boring, or sliplining fits your pipe
- Factor in restoration savings, not just the repair price
- Get an honest take on when a traditional dig is the better call
Not sure which you need?
We camera it first
A quick camera inspection tells us the pipe’s real condition and the right trenchless method, no guessing, no overselling.
The crew with the right tools
A crew you are glad to let in
Trenchless takes specialized equipment and real training, and our own background checked crew runs it every day. We protect your property, explain the method we are using, and leave the yard looking like we were barely there.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Clarksburg Plumbing LLC, and especially with Seth. From the moment he arrived, he was professional, respectful, knowledgeable, and quite frankly, a breath of fresh air. I was extremely nervous about the situation because my leak was below the main water shutoff valves, and the water had to be turned off at the street. Seth immediately put me at ease and assured me that everything was going to be okay. Rather than just putting together a temporary solution, he wanted to make sure he ordered the exact parts needed to do the job properly. Seth told me he expected to have the correct part and be able to return on Wednesday to complete the repair. On Tuesday afternoon, the office called to let me know the part had arrived and confirmed that Seth would be back Wednesday morning between 8:00 and noon. Seth was at my door at 8:10 AM! I was genuinely impressed. He completed the repair carefully, explained everything he was doing, and was extremely conscientious about properly turning the water back on, opening the faucets in the house, and making sure everything was working exactly as it should. What impressed me most, though, was Seth himself. He has a wonderfully calm, professional demeanor that made a very stressful situation so much easier for me. I sincerely appreciate the care he took with my home and the respect he showed me throughout the entire process. Clarksburg Plumbing is very fortunate to have someone like Seth representing their company. I would absolutely recommend them and Seth!!

I had a great experience with Tyler when he came out to replace our toilet flushing system. From start to finish, Tyler was incredibly courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. He walked me through what needed to be fixed, answered all my questions patiently, and completed the job efficiently. It’s rare to find such high-quality service and attention to detail. Everything is working perfectly now, and he left the work area completely clean. I highly recommend Tyler for any plumbing needs!

Absolute best plumbers I have ever used. Needed them a few times recently and each time they were so professional, kind and resolved each problem the first time around. This last issue took them several hours to fix. They explained everything along the way and gave a very fair price for a lot of work. They also work very cleanly! I will never use another plumber! I wanted to add a new review but I could not so I am editing my previous one. I had to use Clarksburg Plumbing again today and like last time, they were exceptional. I was fortunate enough to have John and Madeleine as my service technicians. I will always request them going forward. They are kind, professional and knowledgeable! I am sure the company knows how fortunate they are to have them as part of their team!

We thank Clarksburg Plumbing again for superior, high quality and friendly service! ----- Clarksburg Plumbing visited us last week to repair an external spigot that had been leaking. The work involved creating a little inside access panel. Within and without, a nice, neat job by Charlie and his understudy apprentice, Chris. Problem solved and happy campers here! ----- UPDATE: Plumber John Brown presented himself on time and got right to work replacing my Mom's ancient leaky kitchen faucet with a new store-bought one that I provided. During the process, Mr. Brown detected and showed me two other problem areas contributing to the water leaks: a cracked drain pipe and then rusted threads on the sink trap. He efficiently and expertly repaired all three elements to our full satisfaction. Plus, John is a super nice guy, completely honest and classy enough to laugh at all my corny jokes! The next time you need any plumbing work in your home or business, I strongly endorse John Brown and anyone on the Clarksburg Plumbing team! UPDATE 2: John and his understudy Maddie visited, and quickly solved the problem of a pinhole leak in copper tubing leading from our hot water heater. He advised us on other plumbing needs, for which we have scheduled and will otherwise follow-up. Thank you Clarksburg Plumbing for your top quality people - John Brown in particular - and performance.

Tevon, Noah, Markell, and Morrow were sent by Clarksburg Plumbing LLC to repair an outside broken waterline They arrived at the appointed hour and completed the work in about 3 hours. I was very impressed with them and I would like to recommend all four of these very professional and friendly technicians.

Thank you to Seth, who came on Wednesday and fixed one of our two toilets and fixed our primary bedroom shower. And thank you to Charlie, who came today and replaced our other toilet and replaced our garbage disposal. You are both lifesavers! Our weekend (and going forward) will be MUCH nicer now that we can use our bathrooms (and garbage disposal) again. Highly recommend Clarksburg Plumbing.

GREAT service and expertise! John and Maddie just installed a water filtration system to our home. The process took one day to install and then they came back from the 48 hour install period to ensure everything was working well. John was familiar and knowledgeable about the water system we bought. Maddie and John kept our space clean, clearly explained how to ensure longevity for our system to last, and the difference it will make in our home. We appreciate their hard work and professionalism. This is our second time using Clarksburg plumbing. We would highly recommend their company to our family and friends.

John Brown was knowledgeable, responsive and pragmatic. He saved us time by diagnosing then recommending best course of action. We are now waiting for the estimate for the project and will be going with Clarksburg Plumbing on our 1948 cap cod renovation. Highly recommend this company’s knowledge, professionalism and responsiveness.

Franklin and his crew showed up promptly and communicated great with us to help limit disruption with the tenants at 4 of our building. Unfortunately for us a second water main leak occurred the day before. But luckily for us they were able to stay on site another 2 days and knock the second one out, even staying till 8pm to find the line and get it repaired. These will be the guys I request for our next time needs

Seth and Brady did a fantastic job replacing our water heater. They were professional, courteous, and detail oriented. They arrived on time and did careful, clean work all the way through. We have worked with Clarksburg Plumbing on smaller items before this and would be very happy to utilize their services in the future, as well.
Good questions
Trenchless FAQ
What homeowners ask us most about trenchless repair.
What is trenchless sewer repair?
Trenchless repair fixes or replaces an underground pipe with little or no digging, working through one or two small access points instead of a long trench. It saves your yard, driveway, and landscaping while still giving you a solid, lasting repair.
Is trenchless cheaper than traditional digging?
The repair itself can cost more per foot, but you usually save overall because there is far less excavation, and far less to restore afterward, no torn-up lawn, driveway, or hardscaping to rebuild. We give you an honest comparison for your job.
How long does a trenchless repair take?
Many trenchless jobs are completed in a day or two, compared to the week a full-dig replacement can take. Timing depends on the length and condition of the line.
Will trenchless work for my pipe?
Often, yes, but not always. A pipe that is completely collapsed or severely misaligned may need a traditional dig. That is why we camera the line first to confirm the right approach before recommending anything.
How long does a trenchless repair last?
A properly installed liner or new pipe can last 50 years or more. Modern trenchless materials are very durable and resist roots and corrosion.
Pipe lining or pipe bursting, which do I need?
Pipe lining (CIPP) restores a pipe that is cracked or leaking but still structurally intact, while pipe bursting fully replaces a pipe that is collapsed or undersized. We inspect the line and recommend the right one.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Clarksburg, Germantown, Gaithersburg, Rockville, Damascus, Potomac, North Bethesda, and the surrounding Montgomery and Frederick County area.
