Trenchless sewer repair in Victorville,Apple Valley,Hesperia, and all surrounding High Desert areas- 24/7 Plumbing and Rooter (760)780-9365
Calling for a sewer repair used to be a dreaded activity. Just thinking about the heavy machinery tearing up your driveway, lawn or parking lot was enough for people to put it off far longer than they should have. The newest sewer line replacements eliminate all of these worries. With a trenchless sewer line replacement we only dig two holes – one at the connection to your house and one at the connection to the city sewer system. No big mess, no uprooting of the landscape, just a one day repair job.
Why Do You Need a Trenchless Sewer Repair?
There are many different problems that can result in the need for a new Apple Valley sewer and drain system. 24/7 Plumbing and Rooter Ca has the experience and expertise to handle all of these problems including:
• Broken, cracked, offset or collapsed pipe
• Bellied Pipe
• Root Infiltration
• Off-grade pipe
All of these instances require the replacement of the sewer line. In cases where you are dealing with a blockage or corrosion issue or have leaky pipes, a relining might be in order.
Benefits to Trenchless Sewer Line Repair
There are many reasons why trenchless sewer line replacement and relining proves to be a better option for High Desert homeowners than traditional pipe replacements. There is no need to dig into the ground to retrieve old pipes, no destruction of your landscape and the entire process is far less labor intensive (so it doesn’t cost as much).
How Does Trenchless Sewer Repair Work?
We begin each trenchless installation by digging the two holes mentioned above. Then a steel cable is threaded through the existing pipe from one end to the other. When the cable emerges it is fitted with a bursting head followed by the new pipe. A hydraulic cable puller pulls the bursting head through the existing pipe, breaking it along the way. The old pipe chips are pushed into the existing soil and the new pipe replaces them in the hole cleared by the head. Once the cable has been fully pulled, our licensed plumbers make the connections to the home and main city sewer. That’s all there is to it.
Every new trenchless sewer system we install comes with 20 year guarantee.

Mo’ Money, Mo’ Bathrooms
Nicholas Cage isn’t the only celebrity who’s dropped a lot of money on a few questionable keepsakes. Let’s take a look at a look at which other trendsetters are breaking the bank on their bathrooms.
Kim Kardashian & Kanye West
And their collection of golden thrones
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, this celebrity power couple sure has a taste for ostentatious toilets. After moving into their multi-million dollar LA mansion, this couple shelled out an estimated $767,000 on a total of four gold plated toilets.
Would you let guests anywhere near your gold toilets? Kim Kardashian outfitted the guest lavatory with an as of yet unidentified $100,000 toilet, designed to flush itself, so her guests don’t have to. While we’re not exactly sure why a self flush toilet is worth the price of a Porsche, she does have the money to burn.
When you top these lavish toilets off with a few months supply of Renova luxury toilet paper at $4 per roll, and these love birds should be set for the entire marriage.
Tamara Eccleston
One tub to rule them all
While Some prefer to merely cover their lavishly expensive bathtubs in gemstones, the richer rich prefer theirs to actually be a gemstone. Tamara Eccleston, heir to the fourth largest private fortune in Britain, and daughter to F1 legend Bernie Eccleston, has a bathroom budget on par with the royal family. Unlike the queen however, Eccleston has no public accountability, no obligation to appear noble, and probably looks a whole lot better sitting in that tub.
This tub is an exceedingly rare creation of nature, painstakingly perfected by human hands over thousands of man hours. The words “bath” and “tub” fail to bring justice to the incredibly rare bathroom fixture. This tub was chiseled to perfection from a solid mass of rock crystal straight from the Amazon. No, not Amazon.com. We’re talking about The Amazon.
The price for this bathtub? About $1.5 Million. The price for shipping? We’re not sure, but it probably wasn’t free 2-day.
John Lennon
And a Day in the Life (of his bathroom)
Sometime between 1969 and 1972 while residing in the south of England, John Lennon needed to replace his toilet seat. While most of us tend to throw these away, the worker in charge of replacing this particular seat had other plans. Upon removing the seat, worker John Hancock decided to hold on to it as a souvenir. He then stored it inside his shed where it sat forgotten for nearly four decades.
When this piece went to auction in 2010, the winning bid came from an anonymous overseas buyer at a price of $14,740.
Warning: Not all old celebrity bathroom fixtures fetch such a high price. When Oprah sold off a set of old bathroom items in 2013, the highest bid on any of her items was $500 for her marble bathroom sink, though most of the lot didn’t sell at all. Even her antique clawfoot tub was liquidated well below market price.

Donald Trump
Plane expensive
Donald Trump recently bought a new private jet second-hand. This was no Craigslist deal though. Upon buying this 757 from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, he wasted no time in giving the new bird a complete custom paintjob and overhauling the interior, including the bathroom.
Trump’s private master bathroom features exotic hardwood, gold plated fixtures for the sink and shower, along with stone countertops.
Not amazing enough for you? Try thinking about gold plated fixtures, a full shower, and a theater system the next time nature calls in economy class.
The International Space Station
In space, no one can hear you poop
What Uncle Sam lacks in salary expenditures, he makes up for in reckless R&D expenses. In an apparent effort to beat the current world record, NASA spent an estimated $19 million on the development of a toilet for the International Space Station. Equipped with state of art technology, this toilet allows the astronauts to handle their business in zero G. Unfortunately for NASA, this toilet is no longer technically earth based, and is disqualified to hold the record.
Nonetheless, this complex piece of machinery is the product of U.S. tax dollars and Russian design. So far, two have been sent to the ISS.
Beware: The manual says that the toilet can convert urine into drinkable water, so far there’s been no word on whether this feature is actually just Russia’s idea of a practical joke. Stay hydrated at your own risk.
Lam Sai-Wing
Why stop at a golden throne?
If Goldfinger robbed Fort Knox and decided to turn it all into a bathroom, it would probably look something like this. Until recently, Hong Kong entrepreneur Lam Sai-Wing owned one of the ritziest bathrooms of all time, including a solid gold bathtub and the most expensive toilet on earth (sorry, space station toilet!) Guinness World Records reports that this is how he spends his Tuesday afternoons when he’s not swimming in his solid gold money vault.
While most of us who don’t have a solid gold bathtub probably think this is a waste of money, it turned out to be a massively successful investment. Lam had all of this gold smelted when worldwide gold prices were much lower, and he sold off most of it when gold peaked, reaping a healthy profit. In the end, he still got to keep both the golden toilet and his world record.
William Taft
More president than the White House could handle
President Taft is famously known as being the record setter as a presidential heavyweight. The U.S. Presidency is not a laid back position, and Taft was apparently quite the stress eater.
Upon ballooning to a high of 334 pounds, (a gargantuan size in his times) he began experiencing numerous health problems while in office, the most embarrassing of which was his famous run in with the existing White House bathtub. History is fuzzy on the details, but we do know that the former president got stuck in the normal sized tub and it took between 4-11 men to pry him out.
To solve this problem, Taft had a custom made tub installed in the White House lavatory. It measured in at 28 square feet, and was able to easily seat four grown men.
The cost of a modern equivalent? About $4,500.
Bill Gates
And his $500,000 toilet that could change the world
When Kim Kardashian sits on one of her four gold plated toilets, she’s probably not thinking about the 2.5 billion people who don’t have access to any toilet.
Fortunately, Bill Gates is a different kind of celebrity. In 2012, Mr. Gates mobilized the Gates Foundation to find a way to bring working toilets to over a third of the world’s population. To accomplish this, he offered a $500,000 cash prize to anyone who could develop an inexpensive and easy way to bring septic sanitation to the developing world.
The winning entry, developed by CalTech, was a cheap and effective solar powered toilet that can safely contain waste and turn it into usable electricity. It might not be gold plated, but we won’t hold that against it.
“El Chapo” Guzman
Putting a new twist on the old revolving bookshelf
Many people like to think of their bathroom as personal escape from the stress of daily life. This Mexican drug lord took the term far too literally. While on the run, the police tracked down a safehouse the fugitive was believed to be hiding out in. Upon their arrival, the police discovered an empty house and a secret network of escape tunnels, all of which led to El Chapo’s bathtub. At the first sign of trouble he just picked up his tub and left.
Blue Ivy
In case a golden toilet was too classy
Blue Ivy, the daughter of Beyonce and Jay-Z has received a disproportionate amount of gifts compared to the average baby. Though this next gift wouldn’t break the bathroom budget of many of these featured bathroom barons, it does break the record for price considering that the recipient in question has not yet been potty trained.
Former TLC bandmate Kelly Rowland bought Blue Ivy a toddler sized, $5,200 Swarovski Crystal studded bathtub for this diva baby. The sink-sized tub is covered with thousands of pink crystals and sports silver fixtures and feet. Hesperiaplumber.net plumber247.net (760)780-9365

Follow these steps to winterize your home plumbing before the cold sets in.
Contrary to popular belief, pipes don’t burst at the point where water freezes, but somewhere between the freeze and a closed faucet, such as the kitchen faucet or washing machine. When the pressure builds due to ice blockage, it has nowhere to go but through the pipe walls, leading to extensive water damage. Winterize your home plumbing, stop frozen pipes before they happen and prevent expensive water damageproperly insulating the pipes in your home.
1. Pipe insulation
Your pipes are more susceptible to freezing damage when temperatures drop to 20 degrees Fahrenheit or below. Pipe insulation provides your first line of defense against cold temperatures and frozen pipes. If you live in an area where these winter temperatures are the norm, take extra caution when adding pipe insulation. For example, in Denver, the average low temperature is 23 degrees Fahrenheit beginning in November, and temperatures can drop into the teens in the months that follow. For pipe winterization, add a thicker layer of insulation around your pipes.
Insulate the pipes in all unheated areas, as they are most likely to freeze. A hardware or plumbing supply store should have the insulation and tools you need. Wrap the pipes in insulation tubes made of polyethylene or fiberglass. Measure the outside diameter of your pipes to make sure you purchase the correct size of tube. Take extra care with pipes that have frozen during previous winters or have been repaired in the last 12 months, as these pipes are more susceptible to damage. Wrapping pipes in heat-tape prior to insulating adds an extra layer of protection, but make sure you follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using heat-tape to avoid damage
2. Keep a dripping faucet
On nights when the temperature is expected to drop below freezing, turn on faucets along the exterior walls to create a small, steady drip. This eliminates pressure that can build between the faucet and an ice blockage, so even if a pipe freezes, it may not burst.
3. Open cabinets
You can stop frozen pipes by introducing more heat. Open all sink-based cabinet doors along exterior walls to allow more heat to reach the pipes.
4. Fix exterior cracks
Note any cracks or holes along the outside walls and foundation of your home. Filling holes and cracks with spray foam insulation and caulking can help stop the cold air from coming into contact with your water pipes during extremely cold weather.

Winterize your outdoor faucets and pipes and irrigation systems by mid-November.
5. Seal off crawl space
Pier and beam homes with ventilated crawl spaces should be sealed against the cold weather. Cover your vents with heavy-duty pieces of cardboard cut to fit the vents, duct taping the cardboard in place. Don’t forget to seal off access to the crawl space. If you have a basement, look for cracked basement windows that could allow cold air to make contact with pipes. Check for worn or missing insulation around garage and utility doors. Reducing the amount of cold air in the area minimizes your pipes’ vulnerability to freezing.

We are Insurance friendly!
Our experts inspect your property, review the repairs with you and present a complete itemization of the repairs to your insurance adjuster. We deal directly with your insurance adjuster to ensure that repairs are handled properly.
Leak Detection
Leaking toilets, faucets or water line? Our highly trained technicians use state-of-the-art electronic sound equipment to find the exact location of the leak and trace any water damage. Once we have determined the source of the leak, we can fix it so you’ll never know it was there!
Slab Leak Repairs
A leaking slab can be bad news for your property! We provide slab leak repairs by locating the source of any leaks in your pressurized water system. Once we find a leak, we’ll relocate it in order to keep your home protected from flooding. After getting in the slab, we’ll repair the leak and wrap the line to protect the concrete. In case you have a sweep slab leak, we access the drywall to repair it. Once we are done with your slab leak repairs, we’ll test for any other leaks using our electronic sound equipment
Repipe or Reroute
The two essential treatments in faulty pipeline systems. Repipe involves complete re-plumbing of the hot and cold water lines, common in homes and properties with galvanized pipe leaks beyond conventional repair. Reroute is done to eliminate one single line of hot or cold water pipe that is experiencing leaks (usually in pipes that pass through walls, ceilings or attics). After masking off other areas in your property, we strap and insulate the new lines. Once the repair is done, we retest the system using our electronic sound equipment.
Camera Inspections
As a company that relies on advanced technology and state-of-the-art solutions in comprehensive plumbing, we have an impressive range of cameras for inspections. Camera inspection is one of the fundamental processes in our workflow, helping us to determine the source of damage, the extent of the damage and the possible long-term effects. We locate the breaks, leaks and other types of deformities in sewer lines, then use a line trace—that helps us to make sure that we get the job done right the first time and protect your property from further damage.
Sewer Line Repairs
Sewer line repairs can be potentially dangerous for your property and its foundation, so we take precautions when inspecting. Our camera inspection uses electronic sound equipment when digging to precisely determine the damage and how it affects the other areas of your property. This helps us to make treatment plans that can address the sewer line repairs comprehensively. We can also provide landscaping and concrete repair once the sewer line repairs are done.
Pressure Testing & Replacement Regulators
Pressure testing & replacement regulators are important in both the water and gas pipelines in a property. A pressure regulator is usually installed on the outside of a home, insuring that water pressure is regulated. Did you know that at night, most cities increase the water pressure (in order to clear the debris from the underground water pipelines)? Without a properly functioning regulator, your system may be at risk. To make sure the water pressure is between 55 to 65 psi, you need to have us test it, and replace it if the unit has failed.
Gas Leaks
Gas leaks can be caused as a result of normal wear and tear with the fittings leaking. Other indications of gas leaks are: a damaged connection to a gas appliance, dirt or water being blown into the air, dead or dying vegetation (in an otherwise moist area) over or near pipeline areas, a fire or explosion near a pipeline, exposed pipeline after an earthquake, fire, flood or other disaster. You might be able to hear a gas leak: an unusual sound, such as a hissing, whistling or roaring sound near a gas line or appliance. Or you may be able to smell gas: that distinctive odor. However, some people may not be able to smell the odor because they have a diminished sense of smell or a temporary inability to distinguish an odor after prolonged exposure to it, or because the odor is being masked or hidden by other odors that are present, such as cooking, damp, musty or chemical odors. Outdoors, certain conditions in pipe and soil can cause the odor to fade.
If you suspect any kind of gas leak, call for immediate service. We’ll detect leaks and repair the affected areas.
Snaking & Jetting Lines
Are your drains clogged up? A sign of a clogged drain is bits of water are spurted out when the tap is turned on. Our trained technicians will get your drains running like new in no time. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergency services—don’t wait for it to get worse!
Water Heater Installation
Water heaters are one of the most commonly used appliances in the US. Have you ever wondered what the life expectancy of your water heater is? Or how often it should be replaced?
Depending on the manufacturer and the water in your area, your water heater should last about 7-10 years. Nowadays, water heaters are being replaced every 6-8 years, due to sediment in the tank and the water heater then failing. If you have a water heater that does not heat or is leaking, call us for an inspection or replacement. We install high-quality units that aren’t available at your local big-box store and will be a better value. Call now to schedule a free
