Replacing A Sewer Line: What Are The Costs?

Posted by admin - July 9, 2022 - Plumbing

Replacing a sewer line is definitely not an exciting home project, but it is a crucial one. If you have a busted or damaged sewer line, you will need to make it a top priority and have it repaired quickly. When ignored, you might start to experience problems like sewage backing up into your home or yard. This type of repair can be done quickly by a plumbing professional and, thankfully, does not need to be done often.

Of course, one of the main concerns that come to mind is replacing sewer line from house to main cost. This will be a top budget priority for you and you will need to know what to expect.

 Average Cost Of Replacing Main Sewer Line

The base cost of this project will be determined by figuring out the length of the line needed. Replacement averages $50 to $250 per foot. The large window of cost is due to the fact that different projects could require different things. A very complicated replacement for a very long line will be more expensive than a simple replacement for a short line. Let’s look at a few factors that could affect the cost of this project.

Obstacles

If there are any obstacles in the path of the sewer line, those will have to be dealt with. For instance, if a tree has grown and roots have entangled in the path of the line, those will need to be removed. If you or other homeowners planted things or built things over the line, those will have to be removed. One common obstacle is concrete driveways or patios being mistakenly built over a sewer line.

Type of Pipe Replacement

If your sewer line is very old, you may need to replace the old pipe with a new pipe of a different type of material. When you talk with a plumbing expert, they will be able to advise you on the best type of material for your situation.

Yard Repair

Another factor that will be considered in the overall cost is yard repair. Replacing a sewer line is destructive to your yard. You will want to have the yard repaired following the project. If you have a landscaped yard, repairing the yard will be more expensive.

Type of Damage

There are different types of damage that might cause you to be in need of a line repair. If only a small section of the pipe needs replacement, this will be far more affordable than if the entire pipe needs replacement.

Other Considerations

It is very important to remember that this is not usually a DIY project. Unless you are a plumbing expert yourself, you will very likely need the knowledge and equipment of a professional. Trying to do this repair on your own could be costly, dangerous, and time-consuming.
