Frequently Asked Questions
Sewer line repair costs vary widely depending on pipe length, depth, repair method, and damage severity. Minor repairs may cost $1,500–$3,000, while full sewer line replacement can range from $4,000 to $15,000 or more. A professional inspection is required for an accurate estimate.
Common signs of sewer line problems include frequent drain clogs, slow drainage throughout the home, sewage odors, gurgling sounds from toilets or drains, wet patches in the yard, unusually green grass, or sewage backups. These symptoms often indicate cracked pipes, blockages, corrosion, or tree root intrusion that require professional sewer line repair.
Sewer line damage is commonly caused by tree roots growing into pipes, aging or corroded materials, shifting soil, ground settlement, improper installation, or blockages from grease and debris. Over time, these issues can lead to pipe collapse, leaks, and complete sewer failure if not addressed.
Sewer line repair methods include traditional excavation, pipe lining (cured-in-place pipe), pipe bursting, and spot repairs. Trenchless sewer line repair options are often preferred because they minimize property disruption while providing long-lasting results.
