Frequently Asked Questions
Excavation sewer replacement is the process of carefully digging to access a damaged or outdated sewer line, removing the affected pipe, and installing new piping. It is generally recommended when the existing sewer line is too deteriorated, collapsed, or extensively damaged for a smaller repair to provide a reliable solution.
Possible signs include frequent sewer backups, persistent odors, slow drains throughout the property, soggy areas in the yard, recurring tree-root intrusion, and repeated repairs that do not resolve the problem. A camera inspection revealing extensive cracks, corrosion, separated joints, or collapsed pipe sections may also indicate that replacement should be considered.
Sewer lines can fail because of age, corrosion, shifting soil, tree-root intrusion, ground movement, heavy loads above the pipe, improper installation, or the gradual deterioration of older materials. The cause and extent of the damage should be evaluated before the replacement method is selected.
Not always. Trenchless replacement or rehabilitation methods may be available depending on the pipe's material, condition, location, accessibility, and type of damage. First Choice Plumbing & Design can assess the sewer line and explain which available method is most appropriate for the property.
The process typically begins with an assessment of the sewer line and excavation area. The team plans the safest access route, identifies relevant site conditions, and coordinates applicable permits or requirements. The damaged pipe is then exposed and removed, the replacement piping is installed and tested, and the excavated area is cleaned and restored as much as reasonably possible.
Many excavation sewer replacements can be completed within approximately one to three days. The actual timeline depends on the sewer line's length and depth, soil conditions, accessibility, permitting requirements, underground obstructions, weather, and the complexity of the installation.
Excavation requires digging, so some disturbance to the yard, driveway, landscaping, or other surface areas may be necessary depending on the sewer line's location. The team plans the excavation carefully to limit unnecessary disruption and cleans and restores the work area as much as reasonably possible after installation.
Replacement materials depend on the property, local requirements, soil conditions, and installation design. Durable options such as PVC or HDPE may be used because they resist corrosion and provide dependable long-term performance. The team will recommend an appropriate material based on the specific project.
