Sewer lateral replacement is the nuclear option — and sometimes it's the right one. For Orangeburg pipe (that pressed-fiber stuff used in the 1940s–50s), for fully collapsed clay, for lines with multiple major offsets, lining or spot repair is throwing money at a lost cause. Full replacement resets the clock by 50+ years. We do open-cut where access allows and trenchless pipe-bursting where the existing path runs under hardscape or mature trees.
What's Involved
Camera Inspection First
We confirm replacement is warranted, rule out cheaper fixes, and map the existing line's exact path and depth.
New ABS or PVC Line
Modern plastic sewer pipe — 4" Schedule 40 typical for residential. 50+ year life expectancy, smooth interior, no root intrusion.
Clean-Out Installation
Added at the property line if missing. Essential for future service and required by modern plumbing code.
Permits & Inspection
LADBS or jurisdiction permit, inspection during open trench, final sign-off.
Hardscape & Landscape Restoration
Concrete patch, sod replacement, plant relocation. We coordinate or perform — your call.
