We had a line blockage on Thanksgiving Day that forced us to relocate our entire 16 person dinner to my sister-in-law's place in the next town over. We subsequently had our line hydro-jetted by another company who provided a quote to repair a partially collapsed section of the line. The quote was high enough to warrant two other quotes, one of which was Advanced Trenchless (AT). I decided to choose AT for several reasons: first, they provided the Goldilocks quote that was not too high but not questionably low like the third quote; second, they narrowed the scope to just the collapsed part, not the whole section of crawl space behind it as the first one quoted; and lastly, I got a call from Ryan, one of the owners, who explained the unknowns and also confirmed that a permit was required, which the last quote omitted. Also, he was willing to accommodate my schedule after the holidays. As others here have noted, AT's team are true professionals. They showed up first thing in the morning, were prepared, polite and zeroed in on the exact location that needed to be addressed. I hovered some to try to understand the mysteries of outdoor plumbing, learning that work done on a past remodel was not done properly. The fix was quicker than I was expecting. Everything went smoothly, including the Central San inspection, before they closed up the space around the new pipe and cleanout, leaving everything tidy, even putting back a section of shrub that needed to be moved. Can't ask for more than that. Anyone in Lamorinda looking for quality plumbing and septic services should consider Advanced Trenchless. You can trust them to take good care of you in a timely manner at a fair price. read more

Advanced Trenchless responded quickly to our request for help on a complicated sewer lateral project. Jordan was great at diagnosing our current situation and explaining the work that needed to be done. We'd happily recommend them for big or small sewer lateral jobs. read more

We've worked alongside their team, and they've consistently demonstrated professionalism, skill, and clear communication -- qualities that are getting harder to find in this industry. What stands out most is their integrity to do right by their customers. They do things the right way, not the easy way -- which is exactly the kind of partner you want when quality and client satisfaction matter. If you're looking for a trenchless company that truly knows their craft and treats both clients and colleagues with respect, Advanced Trenchless is it. Highly recommend. read more

How about a company that outbids the competition, shows up early, gets the work done smoothly, puts everything back exactly the way they found it (including replacing concrete), and finishes up with daylight to burn? That's Advanced Trenchless. We had them come out for a sewer lateral replacement, and everyone involved was professional, proficient, and pleasant. read more

They did an amazing job installing a new sewer lateral. They finished the Job in one day. Very professional

They were a five-star team from the time we scheduled the appointment for the estimate, to the follow-through making sure everything was buttoned down perfectly! Polite, punctual, well prepared, tidy, and left our place looking great after a big job. All this and they were less expensive than their competitor. So happy we choose them to do our job! read more

We called Advance Trenchless plumbing for a sewer overflow. They squeezed us in the same day, gave us a 2 hour window. A.T.P. was very friendly and had empathy for our situation. Nadeem came right at the beginning of our 2 hour window. He was very friendly, respectful, knowledgeable, professional and very helpful with giving us options on going forward with our system. And the cost was unbelievably lower than any other service. Advanced Trenchless will be the only plumbing company we will call if needed. Highly recommend this company. read more

Nadeem Shah from Advanced Trenchless visited me today to provide a quote for some work. I was very impressed with his professionalism, knowledge, and friendliness, so much so that I will be contacting Advanced Trenchless first for my future plumbing needs. read more

Last week I stopped to talk with a crew from Advanced Trenchless who were restoring a neighbors 60 year old sewer line using the Pipe Bursting method. I found the crew very professional, knowledgeable, and courteous so I asked for a visit to check out our aging sewer line. Christian Rico, stopped by today to inspect our 125 ft. sewer line to the street. . He allowed me to watch the entire video inspection and found the line is still is acceptable condition with some minor root intrusion. Rico is very suggested we contract Advanced Trenchess to clean and video inspect our line annually due to its age. A great option for peace of mind at a very reasonable $275 a year. read more

Wonderful experience, fair pricing, nice people and solid work quality. Would definitely recommend them and will use them again in the future. read more

Our line collapsed in part, another company opened it and gave us a quote to repair only that part. At our request, Advanced Trenchless quoted the cost of a full replacement and we could not be happier with their prompt, courteous, well-done work product! They did more than we expected, faster, better, and guaranteed their work! I wish we had more work for them!. read more

Advanced Trenchless helped us with an ongoing (long over due fix) issue with our plumbing. They were clear on what needed to be done, cost, and how long it would take to repair. I got a few quotes from other plumbers as well - and Advanced Trenchless price matched the other offer. Their quality of work and clear communication were the reasons we chose to go with them. I was shocked at how quickly they completed the project (less than one day!) and with hardly any "damage" to our yard (they had to dig one part of the lawn. But hardly noticeable and to be expected). The care and ease was well worth what we paid. And they handled everything from permits, crew, and service. I even had someone call me (it was either a manager or owner) to ask me about my experience and give any feedback on what could be improved. 10/10! Would highly recommend them!!! read more

I've been very happy with their service. I've used them twice to do what I've done for myself with rented "snakes" over 40 years. I'm getting too old to bother with it myself nowadays. I was impressed with the pleasant personalities and friendly demeanors of both young men that came out for my two appointments. Artie came this morning and was a delight. He answered the questions I had regarding a work-around and was enjoyable to converse with in general. read more

they provided a trenched sewer replacement for me. Everyone I worked with Was very nice professional and seemingly happy to be part of the organization. They provided a high quote at first, but then came down to my most competitive bid. Then they even exceeded the scope to a very high level of quality. You are in good hands! read more

Advanced Trenchless is a small family owned company that can take care of all your sewer lateral needs! My wife and I recently bought our first home, and within weeks we had a plumbing issue. We called a large name company to come help clean the line and they provided a camera inspection all for $500 Much to our disbelief, the quote for the sewer lateral was close to $35,000! After shopping around and doing a Yelp search we were lucky to find Advanced Trenchless! They came out, performed a free inspection and quoted us less than 25% of what the large named company quoted. Their quote also included the local permit fees from our city. Leah, the office manager, was so responsive to calls when we needed answers and scheduled us in a very timely manner. The work crew that consisted of the foreman Luis and others on the crew like Brandon, Darrell, Edgar and Daniel are just good hard workers that are polite and finished the job in less than eight hours. I couldn't say enough good things about this company, and will recommend them to friends in the future. Thank you Yelp for the info and thank you so much Advanced Trenchless for being a great company that gives fair prices and works hard for you...That's very hard to find these days! read more

Advanced Trenchless - Plumbing Near Me - Martinez, California

Any construction is hard and challenging work, our sewer line replacement was particularly difficult due to a huge storm drain buried above the sewer line. The team from Advanced Trenchless worked together in a well-coordinated effort that made it look routine, and everything went perfectly. Everyone did their part constantly pitching in, never wasting a minute. These are really nice and courteous people who know their craft. They care sincerely about doing it right and efficiently, a rare case of quality and value. read more

Advanced Trenchless - Plumbing Near Me - Martinez, California

Most plumbing companies charge for a scope to be done to see your sewer pipe. Advance Trenchless did not. For me that was a good start. A T gave me a price and a date and stuck to their quote and work date. They got the permit from the city, did the work and left my front yard they way it was before the work. I couldn't be happier. The work was quality andthe price fair. I would recommend Advance Trenchless to anyone thinking of having their sewer line replaced. read more

Based on very good Yelp reviews I requested contact from Advanced through the chat on its website. The next day, I called and left a message to please give me a call back. When I called a second time I spoke with a live person who agreed to have them call me back between 8 and 8:30 the next morning. Despite these three contacts I never received a call back. Disappointing, as their specialty, trenchless sewer lateral replacement, was exactly what we required, and I was looking forward to getting a visit and subsequent quote and work. read more

Update Aug 4, 2023 I found out that they actively manage customer reviews by reaching out to what is perceived as unfavorable reviews. Maybe that is why their review rating more favorable than they should be? - 1 star to counter this effect. They pointed out that they would not force the work upon the customers when they are on site and the on site quote is free. OK fine. I am sure also understand that the tenancy is that they would get the job when they are there already even though the price is higher. That may be a sound business practice, but something customers should keep in mind. So just be aware. They also pointed out that not having the opportunity to be on site yielded a higher quote. Sounds reasonable. However, the job was very straightforward, simple, and clearly defined with photos of the work to be done. How complicate can replacing a kitchen faucet be in a track home? It is not a historical building with non standard plumbing nor a fancy home like the billionaires have. Maybe it is not the same as being onsite, but for small jobs, I can't really see what else they can glean out of being physically there. To their point though, they quoted a range of up to 4 hours for the job. So theoretically, they could get it done in one hour and is therefore on par with other quotes. OK. Maybe they are honest and they are just sandbagging? +1 star to give them benefit of doubt. You know what? The world is going the sh*ts. Let's be nice to each other. +1 star. 3 -1 +1 +1 = 4 stars Original review Aug 4, 2023 They are not set up for small jobs. Cost prohibitive! No wonder why they are so reluctant to provide quote but try to just go on site and do the work. read more

Received a poorly written job estimate, very confusing, asked for clarification of actual work to be done and no one would explain the job estimate. Called several times to clarify estimate and they kept sending the confusing quote. Makes us very leary about this company!! read more

The call nobody wants to make, right?...Not in this case. I've got to say, Advanced Trenchless is locally the best in the business. Artie is such a friendly, knowledgeable guy with the customers best interest at heart. He's the best! Advanced Trenchless does a great job communicating transparently, candidly and honestly. Their rates are surprisingly reasonable, especially when compared to local competition- But the main focus is this: They get the job done, and they do it well. What else can you really ask for? They're awesome, don't worry next time you need to make "that call." read more

This company is so reliable! We had a challenging property where we needed a camera to take a look at a 300 ft. sewer line. They brought a thick cable line with a camera on the end and were able to film the whole line (even though they thought the line was only 200 ft. long it was longer). Christian Rico was the technician and he was very capable and professional. And the office staff managed to squeeze me in for an urgent situation. I spoke to REAL people in the office, not an answering service -- what a difference! They were a Godsend! read more

Advanced Trenchless completely exceeded our expectations in the complex and difficult work they did for us involving sewer line replacement, 230+ feet of trenchless and trenched sewer line, water line replacement, and problem-solving of 70 year old line entanglements with neighbor properties. That work was done to perfection, quickly, on time, on budget, with improvements in every aspect of the original project, and excellent communication, professionalism and expertise. I needed their services again today and Ryan Charles just left after providing exceptional service and advice. This time I had to finally write a review and share just how good Advanced Trenchless is. They are by far one of the best service providers out there. read more

Rico did a great job with a sewer inspection that other companies could not handle. I would highly recommend using Advanced and Rico!

Very happy with the service and interaction with staff. I was having sewer clogging on a yearly basis. I had Advanced Trenchless come out and try to snake the clog and no luck. They recommended a hydro-jetting (a very pricey procedure) but had to get it done - to do camera inspection to see the problem. They recommended at some point to repair or replace the rooted pipes. At that time I couldn't justify a big expense. Hydro-jet lasted over six months and clog came back. A T did an inspection for free again and sewer main line was getting worse. So we went ahead with the trenchless procedure to replace the whole sewer line. They were kind enough to partially credit me what I spent on Hydro-jetting. They handled all the work permits. Work is done - Juan the foreman and his crew did a great job - very professional and kept me in the loop! I'm also delighted with the interactions I had with the office staff; Leah and Alexis. Very, very competitive pricing helped a lot. Will highly recommend them and will use them again in the distant future! read more

We had to replace our sewer line this spring, and after doing research and getting estimates from several local companies, we went with Advanced Trenchless. I couldn't be more delighted with their service. The sales rep was professional and informed, and there were no high pressure tactics. There was full disclosure of all costs and the owner was more than reasonable in negotiating a price. The crew was courteous and pleasant, and they did a great job on the sewer line itself, leaving the property clean and in perfect shape. Great company! read more

Best of the best. When all other plumbers and sewer companies say that they can't get through the roots to clear the line, they CAN! I will never use another company for my main line and sewer needs. read more

I have only superlatives to say about Advanced Trenchless. We had a 70-year old terracotta sewer lateral that was cracked in several places and leaking into our garden. The line ran directly under our rose bed and we had no intention of digging up the entire garden. To make matters even more complicated, our sewer lateral terminated at the main sewer line under our neighbor's backyard! The entire Advanced Trenchless team worked to the highest standard. Starting with the estimator, Rico, and then the project manager, Art, communication was excellent. They did a great job accommodating the needs of both our schedule and our neighbor's. An additional bonus was the great relationship the team had with the county sewer district inspector. When it came time for the job itself, the team was led by Juan, who's attention to detail was unparalleled. After the team hand dug a 6 foot deep hole in our yard and almost a 9 foot deep hole in our neighbor's yard, the work went very smoothly. Kudos also to Isidro, Marcos, Gustavo, Michael, and James for the excellent job. The best part about the entire process is that they repaired and replaced everything in the garden so that there was no trace that they were there at all, even going so far as to take a rake and smoothing out the decorative gravel on our neighbor's patio so there were no footprints! 100% recommended! read more

I was in need of plumbing service to relocate my utility sink; it was in a bad spot, obstructing everything in the garage. I sought several quotes, however, they all seemed quite high and many of them were unable to provide a clear answer as to how long it would take to complete the job. They were basically playing with my time and stringing me along. I dislike the bs. I got a call from Advanced Trenchless on Yelp. They were one of several who reached out directly, and they were not even on my list of plumbers to call. The admin booked a appt. The plumber they sent, Jared, showed up on time, and he was a straight shooter. Again, no bs. He told me what's up, and how long the job will actually take. The reason for my 5 star: 1) no bs; 2) he was very friendly; 3) knowledgeable; 4) he showed me everything about my own house as in where the shut off valves are, the hot water tank, how to identify problems and leaks, and the crawl space; 5) he got it done in a couple hrs. The job was not easy, but he sure made it look easy to relocate my utility sink, and replaced damaged garden water valves. I recommend them. Jared - thanks for your help. Appreciate it. You went well beyond what was expected. If I have problems, I'm calling them. read more

Like a few other reviewers, I called Advanced Trenchless after a big-name company told me I needed some repairs for my sewer lateral and quoted me $16,000 for the work. Advanced Trenchless not only came out to inspect the line and offer a quote for free (several other companies wanted to charge me $250 for an inspection before they'd give me a quote), but they gave me the best news: The big-name company had done a poor inspection and most of the things they called out weren't really problems. The minor root intrusion could be kept under control with regular cleanouts (which makes sense, it had worked fine for years, and the supposed defects would not have been new). When asked what they'd charge for the work the big-name company had quoted, they estimated about half. I think I've got about 5-10 years left on the line, but when it's time to be replaced, Advanced has got my business. read more

There's probably a reason that this company is rated 5 stars. I spoke with two other companies that do this same thing, and it became painfully obvious that this company. I can tell you that I finally gave up trying to salvage my clay pipe and go forward with replacing the clean out and sewer. I was so busy working at my job and traveling the past few weeks that I never met them when they did the estimate nor was I there when they did the actual work (I showed up when they were wrapping up). They were so efficient, professional, clean and effective. I am so glad that I went with this group, and they guaranteed their work far longer than the competition. Juan and crew were great and if you are going to get this work done my recommendation is to go with Advanced Trenchless. I actually found a bid that was cheaper and showed Advanced Trenchless and they walked me through both bids and explained the difference. Made sense to me. Great experience from my end. read more

Rico, stopped by this week to inspect my sewer line, do to calling with backup issues. He explained thoroughly what he found and the best way to repair it. I was referred to Advanced Trenchless by my two neighbors who 7 or 8 years ago had their sewer lines repaired by this company and are still happy with the results. Rico is very knowledgeable, professional and courteous. Can't wait to they do the job and to end years and years of dealing with this problem. read more

Advanced Trenchless is my new go to plumbing company. From the initial contact with their office (Leah & Jeremy) to the service personnel (Todd & Gene), the sense of no-nonsense honest to goodness customer satisfaction and communication via text, e-mail throughout the job is second to none. I always feel reassured when I contact them with plumbing issues, especially with not having to worry about price gouging or upselling. Case in point. The company has a one year guarantee that I utilized when a broken pipe they initially located with a snake camera and repaired under my dining room floor they jackhammer through 9" of concrete, somehow started leaking through the concrete 4 months later. I e-mailed Leah, and she had Todd come out first thing to inspect and setup appointment to redo work. Kudos to Advanced Trenchless for their commitment to standing behind there work. read more

Since we purchased our home in 2019 we've had yearly issues with our old clay sewer pipes backing up. We recently had a bad backup that another pluming company wasn't able to clear. I reached out to Advanced trenchless to get an estimate for trenchless lateral. Nick confirmed that the pipes were severely backed up and possibly collapsed. My city offers reimbursement for qualifying new sewer lateral installs, which initially, I didn't qualify for. The office team offered to help us by getting Nick to come back to clear the clog and camera record the sewer line to verify it was collapsed, and sent the video to the sewer district on my behalf. After doing so the city ended up approving the reimbursement. This provided a substantial cost savings for us. Juan and his crew did an amazing job with our install. They completed the demolition, pipe install, and concrete install in less than 8 hours. They did clean work and made sure to leave the property the way it was before they showed up. The office communicates clearly, gave fair competitive pricing, and offer warranty behind the parts and labor. I'd definitely recommend Advanced Trenchless to anyone needing their services. read more

Advanced Trenchless gave us a reasonable price and schedule. They got here on time, set up and got right to work. Their workers did an excellent job of replacing our old pipes from the house out to the the street and when all was said and done they cleaned up and got pretty much everything back to "normal" I can't recommend them more!

Advanced Trenchless replaced my main sewer line with "pipeburst" technology and I could not be more pleased! The communication prior to the work was excellent, they arrived on time, were respectful of our property and a pleasure to work with. Juan, Guzman, James and the entire team were efficient, hard working and provided fantastic updates, explanations and discussion throughout the project. Cost was fair and reasonable as well. Highly recommend this company. Best value I found for this kind of work. read more
