Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my sewer line needs repair or replacement?

Signs include frequent backups, sewage odors, gurgling drains, lush patches in yard, or foundation cracks. We use camera inspection to assess the damage and recommend repair vs replacement based on what we find.

How much does sewer line replacement cost?

Traditional replacement costs $3,000-$10,000+ depending on length and depth. Trenchless methods cost 20-30% more but save landscaping costs. We provide detailed quotes after camera inspection.

What is trenchless sewer repair?

Trenchless repair uses pipe lining or pipe bursting to repair/replace sewer lines without digging up your entire yard. It's faster, less disruptive, and often more cost-effective when you factor in landscaping restoration.

How long does sewer line replacement take?

Trenchless repairs typically take 1-2 days. Traditional excavation and replacement takes 3-5 days depending on length, depth, and site conditions.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover sewer line repair?

Standard policies typically don't cover sewer line repair unless damage resulted from a covered event. However, you can purchase sewer line coverage as an add-on. We provide documentation for insurance claims.

Can tree roots damage my sewer line?

Yes! Tree roots seek water and can infiltrate even small cracks in sewer lines. Once inside, they grow and cause major blockages. We can remove roots and repair the damage to prevent recurrence.

Trenchless sewer repair vs traditional excavation: which do I need?

Trenchless methods (pipe lining or pipe bursting) repair or replace a sewer line through small access points, preserving landscaping, driveways, and mature trees, and usually finish faster. Traditional excavation is required when a line has fully collapsed, has severe sags (bellies), or lacks the structural integrity trenchless methods need. A sewer camera inspection determines which approach your line qualifies for.
