However, we know that sewer line repair costs are often unexpected, catching your budget by surprise. That is why we always offer good, better, best options for repair. This way, you can select the solution that is ideally suited for your household. Sometimes, it may seem like your sewer line is the problem when all you need is drain cleaning services. Other times, your sewer line may be beyond repair and must be replaced entirely. Some of the most popular solutions for a damaged sewer line include:
- Pipe Relining – When your sewer line has cracks or leaks, relining it may be the ideal solution. We can place a waterproof sleeve inside your sewer line.

- Pipe Bursting – Replacing your sewer line can be intimidating, but our hydraulic pipe bursting method makes it easier than most homeowners expect. We use a hydraulic drill to break up your existing sewer line. Then, we can insert a new sewer line in its place. Most importantly, this entire process does not involve digging trenches or tearing up your yard or landscaping.
