Historically, this pipe deteriorates, collapses and must be replaced or repaired. An obsolete product it dates to the post world warII era. It will eventually fail. We had our sewer video inspected and that analysis demonstrated 1) we hand orangeberg pipe & 2) one section had failed. NuPipe provided us with a logical, repair action plan at a fair price and could schedule to work to be done soon. The tradesman who evaluated the project impressed us with his analysis and attention to detail. NuPipe office staff as been outstanding. Smart, helpful and very reassuring. All our questions got answered right away and in our case that meant fielding questions from 5 different folks. NuPipe arrived on time as promised and got the job done. Our property has extensive custom landscaping and it was very important to us to avoid trenching the yard to dig up pipe. NuPipe thought they could excavate the break and line the old pipe to limit further collapse. Thy started on Monday and the inspection was complete on Thursday. Now we couldn't use the sewer for a day, which is really kinda a long time....ideally the line would be out of service for about a half day. The crew on site and in the office has been very thoughtful and cooperative. My frustration is that finding NuPipe was NOT through Angie's list. Searching for who does this kind of work was very challenging. As an average home owner I got lost in sink repair and goggled drain specialist. Never thought to search under "excavating". My son in law located NuPipe somehow. I was searching AnnArbor plumbers and NuPipe is headquartered in Pontiac so they never surfaced in my searching. I definitely recommend NuPipe and hopefully will never need 'em again.

He is more expensive than most inspectors, but easily saved me thousands by providing plenty of ammunition to reduce the offer on the home to compensate for needed repairs, plus providing the peace of mind that the home was well inspected. Inspection was a full 6 hours for a 2300SF home, and could have been done about an hour less, but Patrick educates you as he notices things. So if you already feel educated, you may find it too long, but if you want or need the information, he will provide it. He also gave excellent instructions in the report regarding items such as how to switch over from heating to cooling with the furnace and humidifier. Worth every penny.

Sewer Line Repair reviews from real Angi homeowners in Ypsilanti, MI
Ended up with a major repair of sewer line. They completed the job in 1 day and left everything very neat for having to dig up the yard. The service was quick especially during the holiday season.

Perfectly. All employees were competent, friendly, clean and interested in doing a good job. The faucets and drains have never worked better. And no doubt the sewer line will be better than the nearly collapsed Orangeburg that was replaced.

FAQs for sewer line repair projects in Ypsilanti, MI
The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.
The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
