U.T. Trenchless provides sewer camera inspections, root removal, hydro jetting and trenchless sewer repair in El Paso’s Upper Valley, ZIP codes 79932 and 79922. That includes Upper Valley Place, Country Place, Montoya Heights and the homes along Doniphan Drive, Upper Valley Road, Westside Drive, Artcraft Road and Gomez Road.
The city’s own Northwest Upper Valley Plan describes the area as flat Rio Grande flood plain that was mostly farmland until annexations from 1954 on, with irrigation canals and drains behind many homes. Soft valley soil, long service lines and mature trees are why Upper Valley sewer lines sag, root up and hide where they run. We locate the line, inspect it on camera and fix it without trenching across your property whenever the pipe allows.
Valley-floor soil, irrigation ditches and big shade trees shape what goes wrong in Upper Valley sewer lines.
Large trees and ditch-bank vegetation send roots toward sewer joints. Roots that come back every year need cutting and, often, a liner to seal the joint.
Flood-plain soil can settle under a pipe and leave a low spot, or belly, where water and waste sit. A camera shows the sag and how long it is.
On larger lots the lateral can run a long way before it reaches the main. We locate and mark it before anyone recommends digging.
When every drain slows at once, the problem is in the main line, not the fixtures. That calls for jetting and a camera, not more drain cleaner.
Smells in the yard or near the house can come from a cracked line or a failed vent. Smoke testing shows exactly where gas is escaping.
Trenching through established yards and trees is costly to restore. Lining and pipe bursting work from small access points instead.
We start every Upper Valley job by locating and inspecting the line. These are the services we use most here.
Water at high pressure cuts roots and scours buildup from long Upper Valley service lines, wall to wall.
Main line backups and slow drains cleared, then checked on camera so you know whether roots or a sag caused them.
Locate and inspect long service lines on large lots, with a photo report and the line’s path marked on the ground.
Scheduled root cutting and camera checks for Upper Valley properties where roots keep returning.
Find where sewer gas escapes around the house or yard, from cracked pipes to failed vents.
Seal root-damaged joints from inside the pipe without trenching past trees, ditches and landscaping.
Locate, inspect, fix and verify, with footage at every step.
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.

According to the City of El Paso’s Northwest Upper Valley Plan, much of the Upper Valley sits on flat Rio Grande flood plain with soft agricultural soil. Soil can settle under a pipe over time and leave a low spot where waste collects. A camera inspection shows where the sag is and how long it runs.
Yes. Roots look for water and enter at pipe joints and cracks. We cut them out with hydro jetting or a root cutter, then check on camera whether the joint needs a liner so they don’t come back.
We send a camera with a locating transmitter through the line and trace it from the surface, marking its path and depth. That way nobody digs in the wrong spot.
Often, yes. Pipe lining and pipe bursting work from small access points, so trees, lawns and hardscape stay in place. The camera inspection tells us which method fits your pipe.
On larger Upper Valley lots the answer depends on the length of the line and what the camera finds. Root cutting costs far less than lining a long run. We locate and inspect first, then give you a written quote before any work starts.
Yes. Long service lines, big trees and valley soil make Upper Valley laterals worth checking before you close. You get the footage, the line’s path and a written summary.
Slow drains that come back every few months, gurgling toilets and backups after heavy watering or rain are common signs. A camera confirms roots and shows which joints they’re coming through.
Yes. We jet kitchen and main lines, clear floor drains and inspect sewer lines for restaurants, offices and other businesses along Doniphan Drive and throughout the Upper Valley, and we plan visits around your business hours.
It depends on how deep and how long the sag is. A shallow belly may only need regular jetting to stay clear. A deep or long one that keeps collecting waste usually calls for replacing that section, often by pipe bursting. We show you the footage and explain the options before you decide.
