For a homeowner, finding out your sewer line needs replacing is gut-wrenching. Generally speaking, replacing a sewer line means digging up your front yard to access your home’s main sewer line, which connects your home to the street. Doing so is one of the most expensive projects for a homeowner and requires a total overhaul of your landscaping. While sometimes this project is simply unavoidable, there are often many options for repair before replacement becomes necessary. Regular maintenance and repairs done by Mr. Rooter can help you avoid a total sewer overhaul and lawn demolition.
