Sewer line replacement and installation on the Shore

Signs your sewer line needs replacing

These are the findings that turn a repair conversation into a replacement one. If the camera shows one bad section and sound pipe either side of it, you want sewer line repair instead.

• Orangeburg pipe, which deforms rather than cracks
• Clay cracking along its length, not at one joint
• A line that has collapsed and will not pass a camera
• Failures in different places on the same run
• More than one belly holding water in the line
• A second spot repair inside a couple of years

What sewer line replacement involves

There are two ways to do it, and the camera decides which one you are actually a candidate for.

Open cut replacement

$6,000 to $20,000 depending on length, depth and what sits on top of the line. It is the answer when the pipe has collapsed, bellied in several places, or is Orangeburg.

Trenchless pipe lining

$80 to $180 per foot, and usually a single day. It only works where the host pipe still holds its shape, which cast iron often does and a collapsed line never does.

Septic line to the tank

$2,000 to $6,000 to replace the run between the house and the tank. Most of the Shore is on septic, and that line fails in the same ways a municipal lateral does.

Cleanout and documentation

A cleanout goes in where it should have been to begin with, $400 to $1,200, and we document what went in so the next inspection is straightforward.
