Sewer Line Repair
Monroe, LA

Cleaning runs $250 to $375. A camera inspection costs $300 to $500. Trenchless pipe lining for a standard residential lateral typically runs $3,500 to $10,000. Full sewer line replacement ranges from $4,000 to $15,000 depending on length, depth, and site conditions. We provide free written estimates after a camera inspection so you know the exact number before any work begins.

The most common signs are multiple drains running slowly at the same time, gurgling sounds from toilets when water drains elsewhere, sewage odors in the yard or inside the house, wet or unusually green patches of grass over the sewer line route, and sewage backing up through floor drains or toilets. A camera inspection gives you a definitive answer without guesswork.

Many do. If your home was built between the mid-1940s and early 1970s, there is a real possibility your sewer lateral is Orangeburg — a fiber and tar material that is well past its useful life in virtually every Monroe home where it still exists. The only way to confirm is a camera inspection. We identify pipe material on every camera run we perform.

Yes in most cases. We specialize in trenchless methods including pipe lining (CIPP) and pipe bursting. These repair or fully replace your sewer line through small access points without a trench across your property. A camera inspection confirms whether your specific pipe qualifies for trenchless repair.

Standard Louisiana homeowners policies typically do not cover sewer line repair from gradual deterioration or root intrusion. Sudden damage from a covered event may be included. Some policies have optional sewer line riders that can be added. We can provide full documentation of the damage and cause for any insurance claim you need to file.
