What Types of Drains Can Be Replaced?

Several types of drains can be replaced, depending on the specific needs of the plumbing system. 

Common types that may need replacement include:

• Main sewer drains carrying all waste from the property to the municipal sewer line or septic system
• Kitchen drains from sinks, disposals, and dishwashers 
• Bathroom drains, including sinks, tubs, showers, and toilets
• Basement and foundation drainage pipes
• Exterior drains from downspouts, landscape drains, sump pumps, and catch basins
• Laundry drains from washing machines, laundry sinks, and floor drains

Our Drain Replacement Methods

We use the most effective methods and materials to conduct drain replacements of all sizes and scopes. 

Our replacement methods include:

• Trenchless pipe bursting involves breaking up the old pipe while simultaneously pulling a new pipe into place. This method is highly effective for main sewer lines and requires minimal excavation. 
• Pipe relining, or cured-in-place piping (CIPP), inserts a resin-coated flexible tube into the damaged pipe. Once in place, the resin hardens, creating a “pipe within a pipe” just as durable as a new pipe. 
• Traditional excavation digs trenches from the foundation walls out to the sewer or septic connection point.
• Sectional point repair involves fixing only the damaged section of the pipe rather than replacing the entire line. 
• Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water streams to remove any debris, roots, or blockages. It may resolve issues without needing a full replacement in some cases.
• Sewer camera inspection accurately pinpoints the damage’s exact location and extent to avoid unnecessary work. 

Costs might start from a few hundred dollars for simple tasks such as replacing a kitchen or bathroom sink drain section. However, prices can increase to several thousand dollars for more complex projects like replacing main sewer lines with trenchless technology. We provide a transparent quote before any work begins, ensuring our clients receive value for every dollar spent.
