We leverage state-of-the-art methods to perform Water, Gas, and Sewer Line Repairs and replacements without turning your property into a construction zone. Our commitment to modern plumbing means we prioritize non-invasive techniques, saving you time and money on landscape restoration.
Trenchless Pipe Replacement: For damaged water or sewer lines, this innovative method allows us to replace pipe sections without digging extensive trenches. This preserves your hardscape, driveway, and landscaping.
Advanced Camera Inspection: We always start with a precise CCTV sewer camera inspection to accurately diagnose the problem—whether it’s root intrusion or pipe corrosion—to ensure a cost-effective, targeted repair plan.
Horizontal Boring: For installing new gas or water pipes under existing structures, we use horizontal boring technology to place them directionally underground without damaging your valuable landscaping. This technique is often used in Water, Gas, and Sewer Line Repairs where digging is impractical.

Anacapa plumbing has again come to my rescue. An electrician noticed old cracked plumbing pipes under our 1909 home. Anacapa sent Jaime out to assess the job. Jaime cut and replaced the old rusted, cracked iron pipes. He then evaluated the other pipes which were in dire need of replacing as well. We would never have noticed the damage as the crawlspace is difficult to navigate. Jamie was knowledgeable, proficient and worked diligently to get a difficult job done. I really appreciated that Jaime took the time to show me the damage and explain why the other pipes needed to be replaced, rather than just doing the bare minimum. I highly recommend Anacapa Plumbing as they have always accommodated my needs in a timely manner and sent competent workers.Posted on Google![]()
