Sewer line cost ranges at a glance
These numbers come from published cost guides. They show what is normal, not what any one contractor will charge. Your real price comes after a camera inspection.
What a real job might cost
Multiply the length of your line by the cost per foot. A 50 foot line at $50 to $250 per foot comes to $2,500 to $12,500. A 75 foot line comes to $3,750 to $18,750. The wide gap is why a camera inspection and a written estimate matter.
What makes the price go up or down
- Length. Houses set far back from the street have longer lines.
- Depth. Deeper pipe needs a deeper trench.
- What sits on top. Lawn is the cheapest to dig through. A driveway, patio or big tree root system costs more.
- Pipe type. Clay, cast iron and Orangeburg all come out differently.
- Method. Dig, pipe bursting and pipe lining are priced differently.
- Restoration. Fixing a lawn, walk or driveway after the work can add thousands of dollars.
Trenchless versus dig: which costs less?
The pipe itself can cost the same or more per foot with trenchless methods. The savings come from the yard. Pipe bursting needs two small pits, and pipe lining needs one or two. You skip the long trench and the cost of rebuilding what you dug up.
Trenchless does not fit every pipe. A pipe that has collapsed or sags badly may need a dig. Read about trenchless sewer line repair to see which methods exist.
Repair first when you can
If the camera shows one bad section, a spot repair costs far less than replacing the whole line. If the damage runs along most of the pipe, replacement can cost less than repair after repair. Our sewer line replacement page explains when each one makes sense.
