What are the most common signs of cast iron sewer pipe failure in Dallas?
Key local indicators of underground cast iron pipe failure include:
- Frequent and recurring backups in multiple drains
- Consistently slow drains (especially in sinks, tubs, and toilets)
- Persistent sewage odors inside or outside your home
- Unusually lush green patches in your yard
- Unexplained cracks in your concrete slab foundatio
Is it better to repair or replace cast iron sewer pipes in Dallas?
The best course of action – repair or replacement – depends entirely on the extent and nature of the damage.
For isolated issues like a single crack or minor root intrusion, a spot repair or partial replacement might suffice.
Widespread deterioration, multiple collapses, significant channel rot throughout the system, or repeated, persistent problems require a full replacement or rerouting. This long-term solution provides peace of mind, especially given Dallas's challenging soil conditions.
How much does sewer line replacement cost?
The average main sewage line replacement project costs $5,000-$12,750. The high end of this price range is driven by labor costs in densely populated areas, the severity of pipe damage, and the length and buried depth of your affected sewer line.
How much sewer pipe damage can spot repairs fix?
Spot repairs are designed to fix localized breaks and intrusions that span 10 feet or less. Sewer line damage between 10 and 50 feet in length requires partial sewer line replacement, a more labor-intensive solution due to increased excavation and pipe replacement.
How long does sewer repair last?
The lifetime of your sewer repair depends entirely on installation quality, and the new pipe material used. We use Schedule 40 PVC for all sewer line repair and replacement projects — when properly installed, it easily lasts up to 100 years with regular maintenance.
Is sewer line replacement covered by insurance?
Homeowner's insurance typically doesn't cover general wear and tear or maintenance issues. However, if the damage was caused by a sudden, accidental event (like a vehicle crushing the pipe, or a specific tree falling on it), there might be some coverage. It's always best to check with your specific insurance provider.
How long will my new sewer pipe section last?
We install new sections of Schedule 40 PVC pipe for spot repairs and partial sewer line replacements. Schedule 40 PVC is designed to last up to 100 years.
The lifespan of the entire system will depend on the remaining old pipe, which could still develop problems.
How long does partial sewer line replacement take?
Partial sewer line replacement takes 3-7 days, depending on the length of your damaged pipe section and how deep it’s buried in your yard.
Will the city pay for my sewer repairs?
It is almost always the homeowner’s responsibility to pay for sewer repairs on their property. However, there are key cases when the city may foot the bill — for example, when your sewer line is damaged by city negligence, or the city sewer system backed up into your private sewer main. Read more in our guide to 5 times the city pays for your sewer repairs.
What types of trees damage sewer pipes?
Oaks, maples, poplars and ash trees have highly aggressive root systems that seek out organic nutrients in your sewer line. Silver maples and Live oaks are among the most problematic mature trees for sewer lines.
Why do tree roots penetrate sewer lines?
Tree roots love the organic materials in your sewer lines — waste, sewage, and clogs caused by fats, oil and grease (FOG clogs). These materials make sewer lines far more appealing targets for intrusive tree roots than your water lines.
How long does full sewer line replacement take?
Full sewer line replacement takes 5-8 days, depending on the length of your damaged pipe section, how deep it’s buried in your yard, and if it travels near your home’s foundation.
What pipe material is best for sewer line replacement?
Your plumber should use Schedule 40 PVC for all sewer line replacement projects. Schedule 40 PVC offers stronger durability, chemical resistance, and anti-corrosive properties than other sewer pipe materials.
Does pipe lining really last 50 years?
No. We’ve seen other online guides state that new epoxy pipe lining lasts 50+ years, and our Master Plumbers cannot agree with this assessment. CIPP lining is generally used as a short-term fix while homeowners save budget for long-lasting sewer line replacement.
