Sewer Contractor Red Bank, NJ

We Know Red Bank's Pipes

We’ve been handling sewer emergencies throughout Red Bank and Monmouth County for years. We understand the challenges that come with this area’s older homes and their aging sewer systems.

Most of Red Bank’s neighborhoods were built when cast iron and clay pipes were standard. These materials break down over time, especially with New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles and shifting soil conditions.

We’re licensed, insured, and equipped with modern tools like sewer cameras to diagnose problems accurately. When your neighbor recommends a plumber, we’re often the name that comes up.

Sewer Camera Inspection Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we run a sewer camera inspection to see exactly what’s wrong and where. No guessing, no unnecessary digging. The camera shows us cracks, root intrusion, collapsed sections, or whatever’s causing your backup.

Next, we explain what we found and give you upfront pricing for the repair or replacement. You’ll know the cost before we start any work.

For replacement, we often use trenchless methods when possible. This means we can install your new sewer line through the existing path without tearing up your entire yard. If traditional excavation is needed, we’ll explain why and minimize the disruption.

Once the new line is installed, we test everything to make sure it’s flowing properly. We clean up the work area and restore your yard as close to original condition as possible.

Main Sewer Line Replacement

What's Included in the Job

Every sewer line replacement starts with a thorough camera inspection to map out the problem. We locate your sewer line, identify the damaged sections, and determine the best replacement approach.

You get new pipe materials designed to last—typically PVC or HDPE that won’t corrode like the old cast iron. We handle all permits required by Red Bank and coordinate any necessary inspections.

Our work includes connecting the new line to your home’s plumbing and the municipal sewer system. We test the entire system to ensure proper flow and no leaks. Most jobs come with warranty coverage so you’re protected if issues arise.

If we need to excavate, we’ll work around your landscaping where possible and restore disturbed areas. For emergency situations, we can often start the same day to prevent further damage to your property.

Sewer line replacement in Red Bank typically ranges from $3,000 to $15,000, depending on length, depth, access, and replacement method. Trenchless replacement usually costs more upfront but saves money on landscaping restoration. Factors that affect cost include the distance from your house to the street connection, how deep the line runs, and whether we encounter rock or other obstacles. We provide upfront pricing after our camera inspection so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.
Most residential sewer line replacements in Red Bank take 1-3 days to complete. Trenchless replacement is often faster, sometimes finished in a single day for straightforward jobs. Traditional excavation may take longer, especially if we’re working around mature trees, driveways, or other obstacles. Weather can affect the timeline for excavation work. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe after assessing your specific situation. Emergency repairs get priority scheduling, and we work efficiently to restore your sewer service as quickly as possible.
Multiple drains backing up simultaneously is the biggest red flag—when your kitchen sink, bathroom drains, and laundry drain all slow down together, that’s usually the main sewer line. Sewage backing up into your basement floor drain or lowest bathroom is another clear sign. Persistent sewer odors in your yard or house, wet spots in your lawn above the sewer line, or frequent need for drain cleaning all point to sewer line problems. If your home was built before 1980 and you’re having recurring drain issues, the original sewer line may be failing.
Yes, trenchless replacement of sewer lines allows us to install a new line with minimal excavation in many cases. We typically need small access points at each end rather than digging up the entire line. This method works well when the existing pipe path is clear and the line isn’t too severely damaged. However, if the old pipe has completely collapsed or shifted significantly, traditional excavation may be necessary. We’ll assess your situation with our sewer camera and recommend the best approach for your specific circumstances and yard layout.
Yes, sewer line replacement in Red Bank requires permits from the borough. We handle the permit application process as part of our service, including submitting plans and coordinating required inspections. The permit ensures the work meets local codes and connects properly to the municipal sewer system. Inspection typically happens after installation to verify proper materials, slope, and connections. Working with a licensed contractor like us ensures all permit and inspection requirements are met correctly, protecting you from potential issues down the road.
PVC and HDPE pipes are the current standards for sewer line replacement in Red Bank. Both materials resist corrosion, root intrusion, and cracking much better than the old cast iron or clay pipes. PVC is cost-effective and works well for most residential applications. HDPE offers additional flexibility and strength, making it ideal for areas with shifting soil or potential ground movement. We’ll recommend the best material based on your soil conditions, depth requirements, and local code requirements. Both options should last 50+ years with proper installation.
