A busted sewer line is never fun. You might be scratching your head, wondering how much it will cost to fix.
The short answer? It depends.
But don’t worry – we’ll break down the factors that affect the cost for trenchless sewer repair so you know what to expect.
What Affects the Cost of Trenchless Sewer Repair?
The cost of trenchless sewer repair can be affected by several factors. Let’s examine the big ones so you’re not caught off guard.
Pipe Length
Longer pipes mean more material and labor, which can up the cost. Sewer lines that run across a big yard or drive will take a bit more time and effort to fix.
Depth
The deeper your pipe, the trickier the job will be. With deeper lines, specialized equipment and more labor are typically required.
Trenchless Method
The trenchless method you choose will depend on your situation. We utilize cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining here at Clog Busters, where a flexible liner is placed inside the existing pipe and then hardened to create a pipe within a pipe.
Location Matters
Where’s the pipe? Under a flower bed? Under a driveway? If it’s somewhere hard to reach, that will take more effort, and that means a higher cost.
Local Permits and Rules
Your city might require permits before starting work, and those permits aren’t always cheap. A professional company will handle all of those details for you. Still, it’s important to know that those regulations can be added to the final bill.
Traditional vs. Trenchless Sewer Repair: Which One Makes Sense?
Here’s the thing – traditional trenching is the old-school way to fix sewer lines. It involves digging a big trench to get to the broken pipe. These repairs can often be cheaper upfront, but there are hidden costs that stack up:
- Landscape Repair: Digging up your yard, driveway, or sidewalk means paying to repair or replace anything that gets destroyed.
- Labor Costs: Trenching takes a lot of time. More hours on the job means more money out of pocket.
- Longer Disruption: Trenching can take days to complete, so you’ll be dealing with it longer than with trenchless methods.
On the other hand, trenchless repair methods skip all that digging. This option is faster, less disruptive, and more cost-effective in the long run. Instead of tearing up your yard, we use technology to fix the problem without interruption.
