Orange County, California plumbing companies like Suburban Plumbing are using trenchless tech guided by GIS and inspections to modernize sewer systems, serving 200K+ residents efficiently.
-- Some water districts in Orange County, including Santa Margarita Water District (SMWD), are redefining what modern sewer system management looks like, with many local OC plumbing companies making note of the trenchless technology being utilized. This technology, according to businesses like Suburban Plumbing of Midway City, is guided by GIS and pipeline inspection data, enabling water districts to service populations of more than 200,000 residents across multiple cities and unincorporated areas.
“For entities such as the Santa Margarita Water District, inheriting a non-GIS, non-Web-based system was the equivalent of being given a library with no catalog,” explains Suburban Plumbing’s Jonnie Maynard. “Everything was on DVD, unindexed and impossible to work through manually, which means water district employees had no way to assess the pipe condition; they just knew they had to start from scratch.”

This lack of usable data made the new infrastructure essentially invisible from a planning and operations standpoint, according to California plumbing repairs experts, leading water districts like SMWD to make a strategic decision of starting over with better tools. Through the purchase of Tpipes inspection software and CCTV trucks dedicated exclusively to regional areas, such as San Juan Capistrano, entities like SMWD were able to not only collect new inspection data but immediately tie to their existing asset management framework.
“To provide a better understanding of this approach’s scope, SMWD, within two years, ended up inspecting more than 95-percent of the newly-acquired sewer system, while digitizing and mapping every pipe segment,” adds Maynard. “What was once a data desert became a fully integrated, geospatially aware system. Without incorporating the city’s asset schema - 20-plus attributes - into their system, SMWD wouldn’t be able to see those assets on a map. As experts in trenchless sewer repair ourselves, we understood how critical it was to modernize this infrastructure.
“Indeed, it needed to be visible within a GIS environment.”
Trenchless sewer repair in Orange County, as a whole, offers a minimally disruptive alternative to traditional excavation for repairing sewer lines, the method involving the use of specialized equipment to repair or replace the pipe from within. This, according to experts like Maynard, minimizes the need to dig up yards and disrupt landscaping. What’s more, trenchless technology offers a faster, less invasive and more environmentally friendly solution, making it ideal for California’s diverse urban and suburban landscapes.
“California boasts a rich and diverse ecosystem, and trenchless methods minimize damage to the environment by reducing soil disturbance and the risk of disturbing buried substances,” explains Maynard. “By minimizing the need for excavation, trenchless repair helps preserve the natural beauty of landscapes, including mature trees and gardens, which are often considered valuable assets when it comes to California properties.”
In addition to the use of GIS and smart trenchless approaches, Orange County cities such as Santa Barbara have begun adhering to the Fiscal Year 2025 Wastewater Rehabilitation Project, designed to rehabilitate approximately 2.86 miles of existing sewer main pipes at 75 locations throughout the city to maintain the structural integrity of the aging sanitary sewer system. Predominantly trenchless methods will be used to line the existing pipes in place, with no expansion proposed and no increase in capacity.
