What Impacts the Cost of Sewer Line Installation
If you’re wondering how much your sewer line installation in Knoxville, TN will cost, you’ll need to contact us to get a more exact estimate. However, the following options will impact your overall service cost:
- Are Permits Required?: If you need a municipal sewer line permit, your sewer line installation service may be more costly. Our team can walk you through the permit process so it goes as smoothly as possible.
- What Method Is Being Used?: The cost will differ between traditional sewer line and trenchless sewer line replacement.
- How Easy Is It To Access Your Sewer Line?: We’ll determine how easy it is to access your sewer line, since that will impact your final cost.
- How Far Away Is The Municipal Sewer System?: If your home is far from the municipal sewer system, that means your sewer line is longer and will require more materials and labor, adding to the cost.
How To Tell You Need Sewer Line Replacement
There are some situations where a sewer line repair is insufficient, and, in those cases, our team will install a new sewer line on your property. Due to the nature of sewer lines and their underground location, it’s easy to miss the cues letting you know you need your sewer line replaced. We’ve laid out some key signs you may be looking at sewer line replacement as your best option.
Multiple Slow-Draining Basins
While slow drains won’t always indicate a sewer line problem, many of your drains draining slowly at the same time can be due to a more severe issue with your sewer line. Our team can assess whether or not repair is possible or if it’s best to replace your sewer line.
Sewage Backing Up
One of the clearest ways to tell you have a severe sewer problem is if you see raw sewage backup in your home through your plumbing system. This often means you need sewer line replacement.
Smelling Raw Sewage
If you’re on your property and notice the odor of raw sewage, your sewer line may be ruptured or damaged, requiring replacement.
Debris In Sinks Or Toilets
Any time you see roots, dirt, or other signs of backwash in your basins, that’s an indicator of a broken sewer line.
Unexpectedly Lush Patches On Lawn
When you’re not tending to your lawn more than usual but it’s become more lush in certain patches, your sewer line is probably leaking below ground.
Water Pooling On Lawn
A broken sewer line can also lead to standing water on your lawn in a pond-like way. Broken sewer lines will likely need to be replaced.
Pest Infestation
Leaks from your sewer lines can be attractive to rodents and insects, so a sudden influx of those pests can indicate a ruptured sewer.
Foundation Crack
When your main sewer line leaks, it can lead to structural damage to your foundation if left alone for too long.
Trenchless Sewer Line Installation & Replacement
Sewer lines can be installed and replaced in a less disruptive manner with trenchless methods. Rather than the traditional way where large trenches are dug up on your property, creating chaos that can be costly to repair, the trenchless version only requires small holes to access the relevant portions of your sewer line. From there, the pipes can be either added to the ground with a tunneling machine if there’s no current pipe or a new pipe can be pulled through the old pipe, bursting the old one.
