About This Service
What Is Sewer Line Replacement?
Sewer Line Replacement is our full scope service to remove or bypass a failed sewer lateral and install a new, watertight service line with minimal surface disruption.
- Accurate diagnosis before replacement: We CCTV inspect and video inspect the sewer line, locate the failure with a sonde and receiver, and mark the route with marking paint so your replacement targets the right segment.
- Trenchless options when the site allows: We pipe burst brittle clay pipe, Orangeburg pipe, or cracked cast iron pipe, then pull in new HDPE pipe through small access pits.
- Clean access, less mess: We daylight utilities, pothole carefully, expose the cleanout riser or wye, and protect landscaping, concrete, and asphalt.
- Flow control for active lines: We isolate the drain line, cap or plug as needed, and set a bypass pump and bypass hose when conditions call for it.
- Verified, documented results: We pressure test or leak test connections, reconnect branch lines, document with photos, and backfill and compact before we patch concrete or resurface asphalt.
Why TrenchlessPHX
Why Choose TrenchlessPHX for Sewer Line Replacement?
Sewer Line Replacement is where TrenchlessPHX brings qualified, expert crews and trenchless equipment together to fix the problem without turning your property into an excavation site.
We start with evidence. Our technicians CCTV inspect, trace, and map the sewer lateral so you don’t pay for guessing. You get clear findings, a written estimate, and a firm scope that calls out pipe material, diameter, access points, and the connection at the city tap or cleanout.
Our team handles the hard parts in house. We schedule, permit, and mobilize with the right trenchless rig for the job, whether that means pipe bursting, directional drilling, or a short open trench when the line sits too shallow or too close to other utilities. We coordinate utility locate through 811 and we keep work zones controlled.
You’ll get code compliant installation. We set proper grade, bed the pipe, couple and clamp connections correctly, and verify flow with a post work camera inspection. Many replacements fail at joints and transitions. We focus on adapters, reducers, gaskets, and seals so the new sewer line stays leakproof and root resistant.

Suitability Check
Signs You Need Sewer Line Replacement
Sewer Line Replacement is the right call when a sewer lateral has structural failure that cleaning, descaling, or spot repair won’t restore.
- Repeat backups after jetting or snaking: You hydro jet, flush, and snake the drain line, yet the blockage returns within days. This pattern points to a collapsed section, a separated joint, or a belly that keeps catching solids.
- Camera shows fracture, offset joint, or collapse: A CCTV camera view reveals cracked clay pipe, a fractured cast iron pipe, or an offset joint with soil intrusion. If the pipe wall looks deteriorated, scaled, or misshaped, replacement beats patching.
- Root intrusion that won’t stay cut back: You root cut and mill, then roots reappear fast. That usually means failed joints, exfiltration, and a pipe that keeps feeding roots with moisture and nutrients.
- Wet soil, sinkholes, or sewer odor outside: Soft ground near the service line route can signal exfiltration. Sewer odor around a cleanout cap or along the lateral path often tracks to a crack or separation.
- Old materials near end of life: Orangeburg pipe turns brittle and deforms. Aging clay pipe shears at joints. Rusted cast iron pipe scales shut. When the line can’t hold grade or diameter, a full-length replacement restores reliable flow.
The Process
Our Sewer Line Replacement Process
Sewer Line Replacement is a controlled, step by step job that protects your property while restoring full drainage capacity.
1
Inspect and locate:
We CCTV inspect the sewer line, diagnose defects, locate the camera head, and mark depth and route.
2
Plan the method:
We assess utility conflicts, easements, right of way limits, and access for equipment. We choose pipe bursting, directional drilling, or a short trench based on grade, diameter, and soil conditions.
3
Quote and schedule:
We provide a written estimate, line item scope, and schedule. We pull permit paperwork when permit required.
4
Access and prepare:
We expose entry and exit pits, core drill or sawcut concrete when needed, set bypass pumping when flow won’t stop, and plug the line for safe work.
5
Replace the line:
We burst the host pipe with a bursting head and pull in new HDPE pipe, or we bore and pull a new line on a drilled path. We connect, couple, clamp, and tap per code.
6
Test and document:
We leak test, run a post work video inspection, photograph the work, and provide documentation.
7
Restore the surface:
We backfill, compact, patch asphalt or concrete, and leave the site clean.
Brands We Use
Sewer Line Replacement is only as dependable as the tools, pipe, and connection hardware behind it, so we stick with proven manufacturers.
RIDGID cameras and locators for CCTV inspect and trace work. For cleaning and prep, we rely on Spartan Tool, General Pipe Cleaners, and Picote milling and descaling systems. On trenchless replacements, our crews trust HammerHead Trenchless pipe bursting equipment, plus Vermeer and Ditch Witch rigs for directional drill and pullback operations. For materials, we source pressure rated pipe from JM Eagle and fittings from Charlotte Pipe when PVC applications fit the scope. For trenchless liners and rehabilitation tie ins when a segment needs sleeve support, we can spec systems from Perma Liner.
Safety stays non negotiable. We call 811 before we excavate, control confined space exposure, dewater when needed, and keep PPE and traffic control in place on every municipal or commercial site.

Got Questions? We've Got Answers.
Everything homeowners ask about sewer replacement and pipe repair — answered honestly by our technicians.
Sewer line replacement removes or bypasses a failed sewer lateral and installs a new pipe from the building connection to the city connection, then reconnects branches and verifies flow.
We create small access pits, then pipe burst the old line while we pull in new HDPE pipe, or we directional drill a new path and pull pipe back through the bore. We reconnect with proper couplings, adapters, and seals.
We recommend replacement when the camera shows collapse, severe separation, repeated offsets, major bellies, or pipe material failure like crushed clay pipe or deformed Orangeburg pipe.
Yes. Trenchless methods limit sawcut and excavation. We still expose entry and exit points and we patch concrete or repave asphalt after we compact backfill.
Many replacements need a permit, inspection, and a utility locate. We handle permitting steps and coordinate inspection timing.
Many trenchless replacements finish in one to two days, depending on depth, access, bypass pumping needs, and inspection requirements.
Yes. Ask TrenchlessPHX about workmanship warranty terms and documentation from the post work CCTV inspection.
