How long does sewer line replacement take?

Trenchless pipe bursting takes 1–2 days for a typical residential lateral. Open-cut replacement takes 2–4 days including backfill and surface restoration. We give a firm timeline after camera inspection defines the scope.

Do you pull the permits for sewer line replacement in Portland?

Yes — we pull all required Multnomah County plumbing and right-of-way permits, coordinate city inspections, and handle all code compliance. Permit fees are included in the quoted price.

Is my Orangeburg pipe a problem?

Orangeburg (a bituminous fiber pipe used in the 1940s–60s) is known to deform and collapse as it ages. If your camera inspection shows Orangeburg, replacement rather than repair is almost always the right answer — lining over deformed Orangeburg typically fails within a few years.

When do you need to replace a sewer line instead of repairing it?

Replacement is warranted when: the pipe has collapsed sections or severe offset joints, the material (Orangeburg or certain clay types) has deteriorated beyond the point where lining is viable, the pipe has root intrusion in multiple sections, or repair costs approach replacement cost.
