How much does it cost to replace a sewer line

Sewer line replacements can be expensive. At All Utah Plumbing, Heating, and Air, we are committed to maintaining and preventing damage to your sewer line so that replacement isn’t necessary. However, wear and tear on your pipes is inevitable, and eventually, you may need to invest in replacing your sewer line.

How long will my sewer line last?

Depending on your pipe’s material, your sewer line may last between fifty to a hundred years. Cast iron pipes last (on average) seventy-five to a hundred years, while orangeburg pipes tend to last only fifty. PVC, clay, and cement pipes are the most resilient and can last up to a hundred years. Unfortunately, external factors such as shifting soil, grease, rust, and tree roots may cut your sewer line’s lifespan in half.

When do I need to replace my sewer line?

Sewer lines may need to be replaced for a variety of reasons, but there are a few tell-tale signs to look out for:

• cracked foundation
• mosquito/pest infestation
• slow-moving household drains
• frequent clogs in kitchen and bathrooms
• strong odors inside or outside your home
• soggy, bright green patches on your lawn
• mold and mildew on ceilings, walls, and floors
