Sewer line replacement is one of the bigger plumbing jobs a homeowner faces, and the price varies a lot. A camera inspection tells you exactly what you are dealing with before you spend money on the wrong fix.
What affects sewer line replacement cost
- Length and depth of the line from the house to the city connection
- Method: traditional excavation, or trenchless CIPP lining where the pipe qualifies
- Pipe material: Orangeburg tar-paper pipe cannot be lined and must be dug up and replaced (what is Orangeburg pipe?)
- What is above it: driveway, landscaping, patios or trees
- Partial vs full: a single broken section vs the full run
- Permits and any city-side work
Start with a camera inspection
A sewer camera inspection shows roots, bellies, cracks and collapsed sections, and where they are. Sometimes hydro jetting or a spot repair solves it, and full replacement is not needed.

Quick Answers: Sewer Line Replacement Cost
Is trenchless sewer replacement cheaper?
It can be when less digging means less restoring driveways or landscaping, but not every pipe qualifies. Collapsed or Orangeburg pipe usually has to be dug. We tell you which applies after a camera inspection.
Do I need to replace the whole sewer line?
Not always. A camera inspection often shows one bad section that can be repaired on its own.
How much does sewer line replacement cost?
It depends on length, depth, method and what sits above the line. We go over the price before any work begins. Call (909) 927-3194.
Is Drain Edge Rooter licensed?
Yes. Owner Isaiah Infante holds California C-36 plumbing contractor license #1078977.
