U.T. Trenchless provides sewer camera inspections, hydro jetting, drain cleaning and trenchless sewer repair in Central El Paso, including ZIP codes 79902 and 79903. We work in Kern Place, Sunset Heights, Manhattan Heights, Mission Hills, Franklin Heights and Government Hill, and around UTEP, Cincinnati Street and University Medical Center.
This is some of El Paso’s oldest housing. Sunset Heights had about 90 houses by 1885, Kern Place construction began in 1914 and most of Manhattan Heights was built by the 1930s. Sewer laterals from that era were commonly clay or cast iron, and after a hundred years many have cracked joints, roots or heavy scale. Lining and pipe bursting let us replace that pipe without trenching through historic yards, porches and driveways.

Old pipe, old trees and busy rental properties make Central El Paso sewer lines some of the most worn in the city.
Clay pipe from the early 1900s cracks and shifts at every joint. Roots and soil get in, and backups follow.
Decades of hard water and waste scale the inside of cast iron and eat through the bottom of the pipe. A camera shows how much wall is left.
Sunset Heights and Manhattan Heights are National Register districts. Trenchless repair avoids tearing up historic yards, walks and porches.
About 58% of occupied housing in ZIP 79902 is rented. Shared lines in duplexes and small complexes clog more often and affect several tenants at once.
Bars and restaurants in the Cincinnati Street district push grease into their lines every night. Scheduled hydro jetting keeps kitchens open.
Before you close on an older Central El Paso home, a sewer scope tells you whether the lateral needs cleaning, lining or replacement.
Older pipe needs a closer look. These are the services Central El Paso homeowners, landlords and restaurants use most.

Clears decades of scale and roots from old cast iron and clay lines in Central El Paso homes and restaurants.

Main line clogs and backups cleared in older homes and rentals, then checked on camera for cracks and roots.

Scheduled jetting and camera checks for landlords, restaurants and multi-unit buildings near UTEP.

Find sewer gas leaks in older homes, where cracked pipes and old vents are common.

Seal cracked clay and cast iron from the inside, without breaking historic floors or digging up the yard.
Four documented steps, built for older pipe.
A camera goes into the line first to find the exact problem and where it is.
You get photos, video and a plain-English explanation of what we found and your repair options.
Jetting, lining or a trenchless repair, whichever solves the cause, not just the symptom.
We run the camera again after the work and document the result for your records.
Plenty of plumbers guess. We document. That’s why property managers and restaurant operators keep calling us back.

After each inspection you receive the footage, still photos of each problem, and our recommendation in writing. Share it with your owner, your insurer or your contractor.
If a line only needs cleaning, we won’t sell you a replacement. The camera decides, not the invoice.
We work with Spartan Tool and attend the WWETT Show every year to stay current on inspection and cleaning technology.
Operations are led by Licensed Master Plumber Ubaldo Torres, who oversees diagnostics and quality on every project.

Yes, especially before buying, renovating or after a backup. Laterals from the early 1900s were commonly clay or cast iron, and a camera shows cracks, roots, scale and sags before they turn into an emergency.
Often, yes. Pipe lining and pipe bursting work from small access points, so historic yards, walkways and porches in areas like Sunset Heights and Manhattan Heights stay intact. The camera inspection tells us which method your pipe allows.
Yes. We clean and inspect shared lines in rentals, duplexes and small complexes, and we give you footage and a written summary you can keep with the property records.

El Paso Water says property owners are responsible for the sewer service line from the tap at the main into the property. That is the line we inspect and repair.
It depends on the pipe, its depth and the fix it needs, so we don’t quote blind. We run a camera through the line first, show you the footage, and give you a written quote before any work starts. Many older Central El Paso lines can be lined without digging, which usually keeps restoration costs down.
Slow drains in more than one fixture, gurgling toilets, sewage smell in the yard, soggy spots over the line and backups after laundry day are the common ones. In homes built before the 1970s, clay and cast iron pipe cracks and lets roots in, so a camera inspection is the fastest way to know what you are dealing with.
Often, yes. Cured-in-place lining goes in through a cleanout or a small access point and forms a new pipe inside the old one, so floors, landscaping and driveways usually stay in place. We confirm the pipe is a good candidate on camera before recommending it.
