If you’ve been dealing with frequent drain clogs, unpleasant odors, or water backing up into your home, it could be more than just a plumbing nuisance—it might be a sign that your main sewer line needs to be replaced. While that may sound daunting, the good news is that you’re not alone. Done! Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric has helped thousands of Denver and Aurora homeowners through this very situation with expertise, transparency, and compassion.
We understand that most homeowners never think about their sewer line—until there’s a major problem. That’s why we’re here to make the process clear and manageable, with options tailored to your home, your budget, and your peace of mind.
Why Sewer Line Replacement May Be Needed
Your home’s sewer line is a vital part of your plumbing system. It’s responsible for carrying all wastewater from your sinks, showers, toilets, and appliances safely away from your home and into the city’s sewer system. But like anything underground and out of sight, it’s easy to overlook—until it starts causing trouble.
Over time, sewer lines can crack, collapse, or become blocked due to a number of reasons:
- Aging pipes made of outdated materials like clay or cast iron
- Tree root intrusion seeking moisture from tiny pipe leaks
- Shifting soil or ground movement putting pressure on the line
- Grease buildup, debris, or scale narrowing the pipe’s diameter
If your system has been repaired multiple times, or if an inspection reveals widespread damage, replacement may be the most cost-effective and long-term solution.
How Do I Know If I Need a Sewer Line Replacement?
Here are some common signs that your sewer line may be beyond repair:
- More than one plumbing fixture is backing up or draining slowly
- You smell sewage in your yard, basement, or bathroom
- Your lawn has patches of unusually green, soggy grass
- You’ve had multiple clogs that keep coming back—even after cleaning
- A camera inspection reveals cracks, corrosion, or collapse
The best way to know for sure is to schedule a camera inspection. At Done!, we use high-definition sewer cameras to pinpoint the issue and show you exactly what’s going on—no guesswork, no upsells.
Your Options: Trenchless vs. Excavation
Not all sewer line replacements are the same. Depending on the condition of your pipe, the layout of your yard, and local code requirements, you may be eligible for one of two methods:
- Trenchless sewer line replacement is a modern, minimally invasive method that allows us to replace your sewer line without digging up your entire yard. It’s faster, cleaner, and ideal for homes with landscaped areas, patios, or driveways in the way.
- Excavation sewer line replacement is a traditional method where we dig down to access and remove the old pipe before installing a new one. While it’s more labor-intensive, it’s sometimes necessary when the damage is severe or the pipe isn’t suitable for trenchless methods.
Don’t worry—we’ll walk you through your options and explain everything clearly so you can make the best decision for your home.
