How Much Does Sewer Line Replacement Cost?

You will see wide ranging estimates online for costs to repair or replace a sewer line. You may also want to contact your homeowners insurance to see if you have coverage for the type of issue you are experiencing. The reason you see that wide range of repair costs is that until a qualified technician checks the situation there is no way to know what level of service is necessary. 

The cost will vary based upon several factors such as:

  • Pipe Material (ABS, cast iron, galvanized steel, PVC)
  • Extent of Damage
  • Accessibility of the problem area
  • Repair vs. Replace
  • Potential Cleanup Expenses

We can quickly and efficiently diagnose onsite and let you know how affordably and efficiently we can solve the problem and restore normalcy to your household.
