  • Sewer line replacement projects typically take 1–4 business days, depending on the depth and length of the line, as well as the complexity of the job. 
  • If the damaged line is located beneath a building, tunnel excavation may be required to access and replace the pipe. 
  • All new replacement lines are installed using durable Schedule 40 PVC piping. For tunnel jobs, proper hangers are used, and lines are set at a quarter inch per foot slope to ensure proper drainage and minimize future blockages. 
  • Obstacles such as driveways, patios, large tree roots, and concrete removal can increase the time and cost of the project. 
  • We offer project financing options to help you get started quickly.
