Signs of Trouble

If there are damp, foul-smelling sinkholes in your yard, strange, gurgling sounds coming from your toilet or you are experiencing slow drainage, itÂ’s possible there is a problem with your sewer line. While modern sewer lines are made of PVC with a lifespan of more than 100 years, sewer lines used to be made from clay. A clay sewer pipe is only intended to last 50-60 years. If your home was built prior to 1980, thereÂ’s a good chance the sewer line is clay. Sooner or later you are going to need a sewer line replacement.

How Much Does It Cost To Replace A Sewer Line?

# If youÂ’ve noticed symptoms of a bad sewer main, itÂ’s probably worth paying somebody $250 to $500 to use a diagnostic camera to check it out because a main sewer line repair is expensive.
# If the line is clogged by tree roots or other blockage, you can use a sewer snake to try and clear them out. Keep in mind, though, that if you have clay pipes you risk causing damage to them. Sewer snakes have been known to get stuck as well. If this happens, you will likely end up footing the bill to remove it.
# Sewer repair is a bit misleading. Really, if there is cracked or rotten sewer pipe, what you can do is replace individual sections of pipe. This could cost you anywhere from $50 a foot to double or even triple that amount depending on ease of access. Also, if there is one section of pipe that needs to be replaced, chances are the rest are soon to go as well. It is therefore usually in a homeownerÂ’s best interest to consider replacing the whole sewer main.
# As an average, expect to pay $3,000 to $12,000 for a new sewer line.
# Using the traditional dig and replace method, youÂ’ll pay around $50/foot.
# The pipe busting process uses a machine to push new line into the old oneÂ’s place. This costs approximately $50 to $75 per foot.
# Another option is whatÂ’s called slip lining. Using this method, a new sewer line is placed inside the old one. Slip lining can cost between $25 to $75 per foot.
