Sewer Line Repair – How Much Does it Cost?
Sewer Line Repair – These three words are dreaded by home owners across the
country. Do you know why?
Statistics taken on 2014 revealed that more than 4,000,000 homeowners have a major sewer/septic line disruption. On average, sewer main repair costs $2,788 nationally, with most homeowners spending between $2,227 and $3,349.
When a sewer main is damaged or needs to be repaired or replaced, it may be pricey. Fortunately, if you can spot the following early indications of failing plumbing, you can save yourself money and heartache.
WHAT CAUSES SEWER LINE DAMAGE?
Aging sewer systems
Combined pipelines
Tree root infiltration
Blocked municipal lines
WHAT TO DO IF YOU EXPERIENCE SEWER BACKUP
Mopping floors and wiping walls with soap, water and disinfectant
Flushing and disinfecting plumbing fixtures
Steam cleaning or removing wet carpets or drapes
Repairing/removing damaged wall and floor covering
Cleanup of ductwork
AVERAGE COSTS TO REPAIR A SEWER REPAIR MAIN
The first step of the repair process is for a plumber to send a video camera
through the sewer pipe to inspect it. The camera allows the plumber to visualize
the problem and identify the precise area in need of repair.
This will ultimately save money compared to just assuming the whole sewer main went bad and replacing the entire length of pipe.
DIAGNOSIS OF SEWER LINE DAMAGE
Call before you dig! There are many professional sewer line repair professionals who provide Camera Sewer Inspection to determine what's wrong with your sewer line.
This inspection will increase the price for sewer main repair but can ultimately save in the long run. By determining the correct problem, it will cut down on unnecessary repair or replacement.
FACTORS THAT AFFECT SEWER MAIN REPAIR COSTS
When the cause of the broken sewer line is tree roots, it is possible that the tree may need to be removed in order to excavate the sewer line and repair it.
This makes the sewer line repair costs higher!
Some cities require a permit and inspection for sewer line repair, which will also add to the project cost.
