Sewer Line Repair & Replacement
A failing sewer line is the worst kind of plumbing problem — invisible until it backs up into the home, expensive to fix, and often on a property easement that complicates the work. We start with a video scope to identify the failure mode, quote trenchless and traditional options, and coordinate with the city for side-sewer permits and inspections.
What's included
- Video sewer-line scope to confirm failure mode and location
- Quote comparing trenchless (pipe burst / CIPP) and traditional dig options
- City side-sewer permit submittal
- Coordination with the local water/sewer utility
- Post-repair scope and final-inspection sign-off
- Restoration of the dig site (sod / paving / concrete to grade)
Who needs this
- - Homeowners with recurring sewer backups
- - Owners whose scope revealed root intrusion or pipe collapse
- - Property managers managing tenant sewer issues
- - Owners closing on older homes who need a sewer-line condition report
FAQ
Sewer Line Repair & Replacement questions
- Q.01Trenchless vs traditional dig?
- Trenchless options (pipe burst, CIPP liner) avoid digging up the yard and are usually faster. They work when the existing line is straight enough and the failure mode allows. Traditional dig is required when the line is collapsed, the slope needs correcting, or city permits require it. The scope tells us which path applies.
- Q.02Who's responsible for the sewer line — the city or me?
- Almost always the homeowner is responsible from the home to the connection at the city main. The exact responsibility line varies by jurisdiction. We confirm with the city as part of the permit process.
- Q.03How long does a sewer-line replacement take?
- Trenchless options can finish in a day. Traditional dig replacements take 2-4 days depending on length, soil conditions, and required restoration work. Permits and city inspections add days but we sequence the work to minimize disruption.
