Sewer Main Line Repair & Replacement

Warning signs

• Backups that return after cleaning
• Sinkholes or soft spots over the line path
• Multiple defects or a collapsed, bellied line on camera
• Repeated failures after prior repairs

What the inspection involves

• Camera inspection and line locate
• Confirm depth, material, slope and defect type
• Confirm the responsibility boundary and connection point
• Plan access, permits, utility locates and restoration

Possible approaches

• Spot excavation and repair of an isolated defect
• Root removal and joint repair
• Full open-cut replacement with proper slope
• Trenchless replacement where conditions allow
• New cleanouts for future access

Scope limitations

Repair suits isolated defects; a line failing along its length is a replacement. Municipal responsibility for part of the run varies, and the camera inspection establishes what falls on the property owner.

What affects the price

• Run length and depth of excavation
• Surface restoration of drive, walk or landscaping
• Permits, inspections and utility locates
• Pipe material and trenchless feasibility
