Our Philadelphia team performs a thorough inspection to determine whether sewer line repair and replacement is the right decision, and we’ll always walk you through your options.

Our Sewer Replacement Services
Traditional Sewer Replacement
This method involves excavating the affected area to fully remove and replace damaged pipes. It’s best for:
- Severely collapsed sewer lines
- Extensive damage across long pipe sections
- Older systems needing full upgrades
Trenchless Pipe Bursting
Trenchless pipe bursting is a modern solution that replaces your existing pipe by breaking it apart and installing a new one in its place without major digging. Benefits include:
- Minimal disruption to your property
- Faster installation times
- Strong, longer-lasting piping materials
Pipe Lining (Cured-In-Place Pipe)
This method creates a new pipe inside your existing one using a durable lining. Many homeowners prefer pipe lining because:
- It’s less invasive than traditional methods
- It extends the life of your current system
- It’s cost-effective for certain types of damage
Why Choose Trenchless Sewer Replacement?
Whenever possible, we recommend trenchless sewer line replacement because it:
- Reduces damage to landscaping, driveways, and sidewalks
- Requires less labor and time
- Gets your plumbing system back up and running faster

FAQs
Homeowners insurance typically does not cover the cost of a new sewer line if the damage is due to normal wear and tear. However, it may provide coverage if the damage was caused by a sudden and accidental event. Coverage varies by policy, so always review your plan.
