Common Questions About Sewer Replacement

Sewer replacement costs in Metro Vancouver typically range from $8,000 to $25,000 depending on length, depth, replacement method, access challenges, and soil conditions. Trenchless methods often cost 10-30% more upfront but save significantly on landscape restoration. We provide detailed, written estimates after a thorough inspection.
Trenchless replacements typically take 1-2 days to complete. Traditional open-trench replacements usually take 3-7 days depending on length, depth, and soil conditions. We’ll provide a specific timeline for your project after inspection.
Replacement is typically necessary when: your pipes are made of outdated materials (Orangeburg, clay, cast iron) that are deteriorating; you have multiple failure points along the line; repairs have been frequent and recurring; or the pipe has collapsed or severely deformed. Our camera inspection will determine if repair or replacement is more appropriate.
It depends on the replacement method. Trenchless methods require only small access holes at the beginning and end of the line. Traditional replacement requires excavation along the entire pipe path. After inspection, we’ll explain which methods are suitable for your situation.
We primarily install Schedule 40 PVC or HDPE (high-density polyethylene) pipes, which offer superior durability and a lifespan of 75-100 years. The specific material is chosen based on your situation, local codes, and best practices for your property.
