Get matched with top sewer line repair pros in Minor Hill, TN

Outdoor plumbing issues are no less serious or urgent to fix than interior plumbing problems. These problems may require excavation and lawn repair due to the plumbing often being buried underground. The most common outside plumbing problems include:

• Clogged landscape drainage: $200–$1,000

• Clogged sewer lines: $60–$250 per linear foot

• Corroded or rusted pipes: $1,500–$15,000+

• Leaking drain lines: $200–$1,000

• Leaking water mains: $300–$4,000+

• Septic system failure: $600–$3,000+

• Tree roots in pipes: $200–$1,000

• Well pump failure: $350–$1,500

A plumbing emergency is a problem beyond your control that’s threatening to severely damage your home. That type of issue can include major leaks, burst pipes, or an out-of-control water heater that won’t stop heating the water. Sewage problems, like sewage backups that force septic tank gases into the house, can also count as an ASAP emergency.

Connecting to city sewage can cost anywhere from $500 to $20,000. Depending on how long of a line you need and local regulations, prices vary considerably. One of the biggest factors is the distance from the nearest city-owned water main to your home. You’ll need to pay for the cost of running a new water line from the street to your house and all of the excavation in between. The further the distance, the more it will cost.

Be sure to consider how often you may need access to your pipes in the future. This can help you decide if you want to install a basic PVC backflow preventer or spring for a clear or removable one. 

If you think you’ll need access to your plumbing often, or if your pipes have a history of problems, it’s probably worth spending a little more for something you can look into without removing the backwater preventer.
