The Key Phases of a Sewer Replacement: What You Can Expect

Replacing a sewer line is a significant and complex undertaking. For homeowners, understanding each step can help address potential issues with the project before any work begins. Here, Price Busters Plumbing & Sewer, your trusted experts in sewer repair in Bellevue, WA, discuss the main phases of a sewer replacement.

Initial Efforts

We start every sewer replacement project with a detailed inspection. Using specialized cameras, our technicians will determine which parts of the line need to be replaced. Your role as a homeowner is to provide our team access to the problem areas and point out issues you’ve observed.

Next, we will secure the necessary project permits. While we handle the paperwork, you may inform your neighbors about potential disruptions from the upcoming work. You may also need to temporarily adjust parking or access in certain areas of your property.

Once planning and permits are set, the real work begins. Our team will carefully excavate around the sewer line for its removal. Out of all phases, this may be the most intrusive. Rest assured, however, that the quicker we move, the sooner you’ll regain full access to your space.

Installation and Restoration

With the old line removed, we will then place the new sewer line, making sure it’s accurately aligned and securely connected. The excavation is then backfilled, and the landscape is restored.

Ideally, your landscaping should be given ample time to settle, as this enhances the durability of replacement connections. As expected from a leading provider of sewer repair services, we will also provide care instructions to help with your yard’s post-work repairs.

A sewer replacement doesn’t have to be an overwhelming prospect. If you’re considering a sewer pipe line repair or replacement, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at Price Busters Plumbing & Sewer. We are ready to guide you through each step of the project!
