Sewer Camera Inspection Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we run a camera through your existing sewer line to see exactly what’s wrong. No guessing, no unnecessary digging—we know precisely where the problem is and what caused it.

Next, we explain what we found in plain English and give you upfront pricing for the replacement. You’ll know exactly what the job costs before we start, with no surprises or hidden fees.

Then we replace your sewer line using the method that makes the most sense for your property. Sometimes that’s traditional excavation, and sometimes it’s trenchless technology that saves your landscaping. We handle all permits, inspections, and cleanup so you don’t have to deal with the bureaucracy.

Main Sewer Line Installation

What's Included in Every Job

Most sewer line replacements in Howell take 1-3 days, depending on the length of the line being replaced and the method used. Trenchless replacement is typically faster, often completed in a single day for standard residential lines. Traditional excavation takes longer but may be necessary depending on your specific situation. We’ll give you an accurate timeline after the camera inspection shows us exactly what we’re dealing with. Emergency repairs can often be completed the same day to restore basic function while we schedule the full replacement.
Traditional replacement involves digging a trench along the entire sewer line path, which gives us complete access but disturbs more of your yard. Trenchless methods like pipe bursting or pipe lining require minimal digging—usually just access points at each end. Trenchless costs more upfront but saves money on landscaping restoration. However, not every situation works for trenchless methods. Severely collapsed lines or those with major grade issues typically need traditional excavation. We’ll recommend the best approach for your specific situation after the camera inspection.
Sewer line replacement in Howell typically ranges from $3,000 to $15,000 depending on the length of the line, depth, access challenges, and replacement method used. Trenchless methods cost more for the installation but save money on yard restoration. Traditional excavation costs less upfront but includes more extensive cleanup and landscaping repair. The exact cost depends on your specific situation—soil conditions, line depth, obstacles like driveways or mature trees, and local permit requirements. We provide upfront pricing after the camera inspection so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes, we provide emergency sewer replacement when your situation can’t wait for regular scheduling. Sewage backups, complete line collapses, and health hazard situations get priority response. We can often restore basic function the same day with temporary repairs while scheduling the complete replacement. Emergency service does include additional charges for after-hours and weekend response, but we’ll explain all costs upfront. If your sewer line has completely failed and is backing up into your home, don’t wait—call immediately for emergency response.
The impact on your property depends on the replacement method and your sewer line’s location. Trenchless methods minimize surface disruption, typically requiring only small access holes at each end of the line. Traditional excavation requires a trench along the entire line path, which affects more landscaping but is sometimes necessary for severely damaged lines. If your sewer line runs under driveways, walkways, or mature landscaping, we’ll discuss options to minimize disruption. All restoration work is included in our service—we don’t leave you with a torn-up yard to fix yourself.
Complete replacement is typically needed when you have recurring backups, multiple problem areas along the line, or structural failure that can’t be spot-repaired effectively. Signs include frequent drain clogs throughout the house, sewage odors around your property, soggy areas in the yard above the sewer line, and gurgling sounds from multiple drains. Our camera inspection shows exactly what’s happening inside your sewer line—irrespective of you need targeted repairs or complete replacement. If your line has multiple breaks, significant root intrusion, or is made of deteriorating materials like clay or cast iron, replacement is usually the most cost-effective long-term solution.
