U.T. Trenchless provides commercial hydro jetting, sewer camera inspections, drain cleaning and trenchless sewer repair in Downtown El Paso, ZIP code 79901. We work around San Jacinto Plaza, Mills Avenue, Oregon, Mesa, Stanton and El Paso streets, and in El Segundo Barrio, Chihuahuita and the Magoffin Historic District.
Downtown’s building stock is old. Landmarks like Hotel Paso del Norte (1912) and the Plaza Hotel (1930) date to the Trost era, and the median home in 79901 was built in 1929. Drains and sewer laterals from that period are commonly cast iron and clay, and they run under sidewalks, basements and streets where excavation is slow, disruptive and expensive. We inspect on camera, jet the line clean and line it from the inside whenever we can.
Old pipe, heavy use and tight access make Downtown sewer problems more expensive the longer they wait.
Cast iron in buildings from the 1910s to the 1930s scales up and cracks along the bottom. Jetting and a camera show whether it can be cleaned or needs a liner.
Sewer laterals that run under sidewalks and streets are hard to reach. Trenchless repair avoids breaking concrete wherever the pipe allows.
Downtown restaurants, bars and hotel kitchens send grease into their lines every shift. Scheduled hydro jetting clears the whole pipe wall.
About 92% of occupied homes in 79901 are rented. One blocked main line can back up several units at once.
Odors in lobbies, restrooms or basements often come from cracked pipe or dry traps. Smoke testing pinpoints the source.
Game days at Southwest University Park and events around the plaza put extra load on restaurant and venue drains. Jetting before a busy stretch prevents a mid-event backup.
Downtown El Paso work starts with a camera and a plan that keeps your doors open. These are the services we use most here.

Four documented steps, planned around your business hours.
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.

In many cases, yes. After a camera inspection we can often line cracked cast iron or clay from the inside, working from existing cleanouts or a small access point instead of cutting open floors and sidewalks.
Yes. We jet kitchen lines, floor drains and main lines for restaurants, bars and hotel kitchens, and we plan visits around your service hours.
Many Downtown buildings date from the 1910s to the 1930s, and the median home in ZIP 79901 was built in 1929. Pipe from that era is commonly cast iron and clay, which is why a camera inspection is the first step.
El Paso Water says property owners are responsible for the sewer service line from the tap at the main into the property. That private line is what we inspect, clean and repair.
We serve all of ZIP 79901, including San Jacinto Plaza, Mills Avenue, El Segundo Barrio, Chihuahuita and the Magoffin Historic District.
Every building is different, so we inspect first. We camera the line, show you the footage, and hand you a written quote before any work starts. Trenchless lining often avoids cutting sidewalks, alleys and storefront floors, which keeps permits, restoration and downtime to a minimum.
Busy kitchens usually need hydro jetting every 3 to 6 months, depending on menu, volume and how well the grease trap is kept up. Scheduled cleaning is far cheaper than an emergency backup during service, and we can work early or after close so you don’t lose covers.
Yes. Many Downtown buildings have drain lines that are decades old, and a camera inspection shows cracks, root intrusion, bellies and grease buildup before you sign. You get the recorded footage to use in lease or repair negotiations with the owner.
In most cases, yes. We plan around your hours, set up in the alley or at the cleanout, and use trenchless methods that avoid cutting through floors and sidewalks. Most jetting and camera work is done in a few hours, and lining jobs are usually finished in a day, so you can reopen fast with a fully working line.
