Is your sewer line past the point where a liner or a spot repair will hold? Full replacement using trenchless pipe bursting is the no-dig answer. The whole run gets replaced with new HDPE pipe, pulled through the original path, without a full-length trench.

Centerville's oldest laterals, the ones original to the first wave of mid-century development, are the most common candidates. If you're preparing to sell and an inspection flagged the line, this is often the service that gets the deal moving again.

FAQs

Sewer Line Replacement FAQs

How much does trenchless sewer replacement cost?

Full trenchless replacement typically runs $6,000 to $18,000 depending on length, diameter, and pit access. A free estimate after a camera survey gets you a firm range.

Can I sell my house if the sewer line needs repair first?

And many sellers do exactly this after a pre-sale inspection flags lateral condition. A documented trenchless replacement resolves the issue before closing.

How long does a full replacement take compared to repair?

A full replacement usually takes one to two days versus same-day for a spot repair, since the entire line gets surveyed and swapped.

Do I need a permit for sewer line replacement?

Typically. Work that ties into the city sewer main generally requires a permit and inspection from Montgomery County.

Is DIY sewer line replacement an option?

No. Equipment, city tap reconnection, and inspection requirements make this strictly a professional job.

What affects sewer line replacement pricing?

Line length, pipe depth, diameter, number of access pits needed, and whether the city tap connection needs extra work all move the price.

What's typically included in a sewer line replacement?

A full camera survey, the pipe pull itself, reconnection at both ends, and flow testing are standard parts of the job.

How do I prepare my home for a sewer line replacement?

Share any prior inspection reports and keep the driveway clear on install day. That's generally all we need.
