Repair Sewer Line questions, answered by experts
The cost to repair a main sewer line clog is about $3,110 on average. The average cost range is $1,310 to $4,950, but it can go as low as $215 and as high as $9,300 or more. The cost factors for this repair include the severity of the clog, pipe accessibility, video inspection, removal method, permits, pipe material, labor rates in your area, and time of year. Repairs made from outside during the winter can be more difficult due to the frozen ground or during the spring if the ground is saturated from a lot of rain and snow melt.
If you’ll be digging up your floor to get access to your pipes when putting in a sewer backflow preventer, this would also be a good time to take care of any other plumbing issues or renovations. For example, you could install additional pipes for a basement bathroom. Since the floor will be sealed over with concrete when you’re done, now’s a good time to take care of those bigger tasks.
A sewer line's lifespan runs between 50 and 100 years or more, depending on its material and local conditions. Factors that affect sewer line longevity also include how the pipe was originally installed, and whether it receives proper maintenance and cleanings to prevent clogs.
Installing a drain pipe costs about $600, ranging from $150 to $2,000, depending on the type of drain, accessibility, proximity to drain lines, and whether you’re installing new drain pipes or replacing old ones. Replacing a main drain line can cost over $2,000, whereas replacing a p-trap costs around $150 on average. Keep in mind that new water pipe installation projects are bid by fixture, like kitchen sink, toilet, or main water line. You can expect to pay $70 to $1,000 per fixture.
A two-way cleanout in the sewer line offers access to the sewer line from both directions, which makes it easier to inspect the pipes and clear clogs in the line. Most homes already have a cleanout, but you may want to install a two-way cleanout in your sewer line if your home has frequent plumbing problems, you have an older home that doesn’t already have a cleanout, or you have older pipes and feel like you need more frequent maintenance.
