Anyone can call themselves licensed and insured. The badge means we looked. Every check is done by a person at TrenchlessRepair.com and redone every 12 months.
We talk with the owner about the trenchless work the company actually does — methods, crews, typical jobs — not just what the website says.
We look the license up with the state licensing board and confirm it's active, in the company's name, and covers sewer or plumbing work.
A current certificate of insurance showing at least $1,000,000 in general liability. We note the expiration date and ask for the renewal.
Lining, bursting and camera equipment the company owns and runs itself — not rented or borrowed for the day of your job.
The company you hire is the crew that shows up. We confirm trenchless jobs aren't handed off to subcontractors.
We read the public record: Google and other reviews (4.0 stars or better across at least 10 reviews) and any open licensing-board or BBB complaints.
Five minutes: license, insurance, methods, equipment and your reviews link.
Upload your certificate of insurance here, or have your agent email it to us.
We call the owner at the time you pick to talk through how you work.
Approved companies get the seal the same day. If something's missing, we tell you exactly what.
Fields marked * are required. If your company isn't listed yet, add it first. It's free.
We've emailed you a copy. Most decisions are made within 3 business days.
A person at TrenchlessRepair.com checked six things about the company: an owner interview, an active contractor license, at least $1 million in liability insurance, that it owns its trenchless equipment, that it does its own trenchless work, and its public reviews and complaint record.
No. Verified means the company passed our checks when we reviewed it. It isn't a warranty on any job. Always get a written estimate, and ask what warranty the company gives on the liner or new pipe.
Nothing extra. Verification is included with the Enhanced and Pro listings. Companies on the free or Regular listing can apply; the badge appears as soon as they move to Enhanced or Pro.
Most companies hear back within 3 business days. The longest part is usually getting a current certificate of insurance from the agent.
Twelve months. We ask for the insurance renewal when the policy renews, and we remove the badge if coverage lapses or the license becomes inactive.
Yes: a lapsed license or insurance, a pattern of serious complaints, or subcontracting trenchless jobs after telling us it doesn't.
