Socorro, TX

High groundwater, new sewer connections and a fast-growing city

U.T. Trenchless provides sewer camera inspections, drain cleaning, hydro jetting and sewer line repair in the City of Socorro, including ZIP code 79927. We work in neighborhoods such as Rosa Azul, Cotton Valley and Bejar Estates, near the Socorro Mission and the Rio Vista Farm historic district, and along Horizon Boulevard and North Loop Drive.

Socorro’s water and sewer mains are run by the Lower Valley Water District, and its wastewater is treated at El Paso Water’s Roberto Bustamante plant. Many local neighborhoods only recently moved from septic to sewer: in September 2026, a $33.3 million project finished connecting 862 homes in five area colonias to new sewer lines. Groundwater southeast of Loop 375 sits only about 5 to 8 feet below the surface. A new connection and high groundwater are both good reasons to put a camera in your line.

Local warning signs

Sewer problems we see in Socorro

Socorro’s mix of historic homes, fast growth and a high water table shapes what goes wrong below ground.

New sewer connections

Homes that switched from septic to sewer have a new line from the house to the main. A camera confirms it’s clean, sloped correctly and fully connected.

High groundwater

Groundwater only 5 to 8 feet down keeps the soil around pipes wet. Wet ground can shift lines and let water into cracked or open joints.

Sags and bellies

Soft, wet soil lets pipes settle into low spots where waste sits and clogs start. We measure sags on camera before recommending a fix.

Newer PVC, early problems

Most Socorro homes were built from the 1980s on. PVC lines can still collect debris or separate at joints, especially in newer construction.

Older homes near the Mission

Homes in the historic core around the Socorro Mission can have older pipe that is more prone to cracks and roots.

Businesses on Horizon Boulevard

Restaurants and shops along Horizon Boulevard need kitchen and main lines kept clear, especially as the area grows.

How it works

How a Socorro sewer job works

Four documented steps, with footage you can keep.

Inspect

A camera goes into the line first to find the exact problem and where it is.

2

Report

You get photos, video and a plain-English explanation of what we found and your repair options.

3

Fix

Jetting, lining or a trenchless repair, whichever solves the cause, not just the symptom.

4

Verify

We run the camera again after the work and document the result for your records.

A photo report on every job

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.

Honest recommendations

If a line only needs cleaning, we won’t sell you a replacement. The camera decides, not the invoice.

Current equipment

We work with Spartan Tool and attend the WWETT Show every year to stay current on inspection and cleaning technology.

Master Plumber led

Operations are led by Licensed Master Plumber Ubaldo Torres, who oversees diagnostics and quality on every project.

Hydro jetting and sewer camera equipment used in our drain maintenance programs in El Paso

The Lower Valley Water District runs water and sewer service for Socorro, San Elizario, Clint and many nearby colonias, and El Paso Water treats the district’s wastewater. The sewer line on your property, from the house to the connection, is the part we inspect and repair.

A camera inspection of the new line confirms it’s free of debris, sloped correctly and fully connected at both ends. Catching a problem early is much easier than dealing with a backup later.

Southeast of Loop 375, groundwater sits only about 5 to 8 feet below the surface. Wet soil can shift pipes, and water can enter through cracks or open joints. That’s why we check slope and joints closely on camera.

We serve homes and businesses throughout the City of Socorro in ZIP code 79927, including Rosa Azul, Cotton Valley, Bejar Estates, the Mission Trail area and the Horizon Boulevard corridor. Call (915) 858 0166 to confirm your address.

Yes. We jet kitchen and main lines, clear floor drains and inspect lines for restaurants, shops and other businesses in Socorro.

We inspect before we price. A camera shows the pipe’s condition, you see the footage, and you get a written quote before any work starts. Whether the line can be lined, needs a spot repair or a new section drives the cost more than anything else.

Slow drains, gurgling after flushing, sewer smell outside, and wet or sunken spots between the house and the street are the usual signs. On newer connections we often find sags from settling soil or a joint that shifted, which are simple to fix when caught early.

Yes. Many buildings near the Mission Trail have older drain and sewer lines, and some sit on sites where digging is a real headache. Trenchless lining lets us renew those pipes through a cleanout with little disturbance to the building or the grounds.

Yes, we cover homes and businesses throughout Socorro, along with the Lower Valley and East El Paso next door. Call for a camera inspection, hydro jetting or trenchless repair, and we will confirm timing when you book.

Most camera inspections and hydro jetting visits take a few hours. A typical cured-in-place lining job is finished in a day, and you can use your plumbing again once the liner cures. Larger commercial runs may take longer, and we give you the schedule in writing with your quote.
