Sewer Line Repair & Replacement in Cincinnati

When a line cannot be lined: spot excavation or trenchless replacement, chosen from the footage.

When repair means replacement

Some lines cannot be lined: collapsed runs, long bellies, undersized laterals, or pipe so deteriorated there is nothing left to bond to. Replacement does not have to mean a trench. Pipe bursting replaces the whole run through two small pits. A spot excavation replaces a short failed section where the camera has marked it. Open trenching is the last resort, reserved for lines that cannot be reached any other way.

Deciding between the options

The camera inspection and a utility locate answer the questions that matter: how much of the line has failed, how deep it is, what crosses it, and what sits on top of it. A collapsed section under open lawn may be cheapest to dig. The same collapse under a driveway, a slab or a street is a bursting job. A single crushed joint is a point repair, not a replacement.

What the new pipe is

Bursted lines are fused HDPE, jointless and root-proof, rated for well over 50 years. Spot replacements are usually PVC with shielded couplings to the existing pipe. Either way you should receive footage of the finished line and a written warranty.

Permits, the street connection and the city

Replacing a lateral is permitted work everywhere, and any pit in the sidewalk or street needs a right-of-way permit and restoration to city standards. Where the connection at the main is replaced, the city inspects it before the pit closes. The contractor should handle all of it and say so in the quote.
