Repair Sewer Line questions, answered by experts

This depends on your location. Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep. People in colder climates will have deeper sewer lines than people in warmer climates due to the dangers of the frost line and freezing pipes. Permits are required for all aspects of septic system installation, so the city should have the building plans for your system, which will tell you how deep your lines are.

A sewer cleanout typically looks like a white or gray PVC pipe with a removable cap. It's often located either in your yard or basement, depending on your home's plumbing configuration. The cleanout pipe is designed to provide easy access to your sewer system for maintenance and inspections. It may be flush with the ground or slightly elevated, making it distinguishable from other pipes. When you remove the cap, you can access the sewer line directly or determine its direction, which can be helpful when you need to locate your sewer line from your house to the street.

Sewer line replacement costs often seem high because this is a labor-intensive project that requires excavation, pipe removal, and pipe replacement. It takes a team of experienced, licensed technicians to handle the planning required. Sewer pipe work also requires specialized equipment that can include high-tech inspection cameras, excavators, trenching machines, and relining tools. While costs can vary based on the type of piping you choose, high-quality pipe materials that provide years of safe usage can come at a premium.

It’s generally safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage, but you should get the problem fixed as soon as possible. In most cases, the level of sewer gas you’re exposed to in a home will be low enough to only cause minor symptoms, though high levels of gas exposure can be more dangerous. If you’re smelling sewer gas in your home, it’s important to locate, assess, and fix the problem, because it won’t go away on its own.

The good news: you don’t have to think about this very often. Plastic, lead, and cast iron sewer lines last 50 to 100 years, depending on soil conditions and tree roots. The part you can control is keeping them clear by watching what goes down the drain. Use compost pails for food scraps, cooking grease, and paper towels.
