Your main sewer line is an integral part of your plumbing system that takes used wastewater away from your home.

Sewer line replacements typically mean excavation is necessary as your pipe is beyond trenchless sewer repair.

7 Warning Signs Your Sewer Line Needs to Be Replaced
Here are seven warning signs that indicate your sewer line may need to be replaced:
- Frequent Backups and Blockages: If you experience recurring clogs or backups in your drains, especially in the lower levels of your home, it may be a sign of a damaged sewer line.
- Unpleasant Odors: Persistent foul smells, especially around drains or in your yard, can indicate a crack or break in the sewer line, allowing sewage to escape.
- Slow Draining: Multiple slow drains throughout your home may suggest a significant blockage or damage in the sewer line, which could require replacement.
- Lush Patches of Grass: Unusually green or lush areas in your yard, especially if they align with the sewer line, can indicate a leak that’s providing extra nutrients to the grass.
- Mold or Mildew Growth: If you notice mold or mildew on walls or ceilings, it could be due to a leaking sewer line that’s causing excess moisture to accumulate inside your home.
- Foundation Cracks or Settlement: A damaged sewer line can cause soil erosion around your foundation, leading to cracks or shifting, which can be a serious structural issue.
- Increase in Pests: Rodents or insects attracted to your yard or home may indicate a break in the sewer line, which allows them to access the area more easily.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to have your sewer line inspected by a professional to determine if replacement is necessary.

What to Expect During a Sewer Line Replacement
You may have experienced clogs, backups, sewage odors, excessive pipe corrosion, or tree root damage that has caused your sewer line to need replacement.
Sewer line replacement, though it will change somewhat depending on your unique situation, will roughly follow this process:
Diagnosing the problem and finding the location is the first step of this process and often begins with a sewer camera inspection. An inspection may last 30 minutes to an hour and allows our team to find the root of the problem, which may be a blockage, tree roots, or a collapsed pipe. After we have found the source of your plumbing issues, we will estimate the repair cost.
