Estimated Westmont Collapsed Sewer Line Repair Costs

The cost to repair a collapsed sewer line in Westmont can vary based on the extent of the damage, but it will certainly be more costly than a sewer line crack or root intrusion because the line will need to be replaced anywhere where it has collapsed on itself.

The biggest factor to consider is how much of the sewer line needs to be dug up, removed, and replaced. The longer the collapsed sewer pipe section is that needs to be replaced, the more expensive the fix will be because for a longer line more pipe will be needed to replace it (which drives up materials costs) and more time will be needed to do the work (which drives up labor costs). For this reason, a longer area of collapsed sewer pipe will be incrementally more expensive than shorter lengths of line.

Another factor to consider is the location of the sewer line. If your Westmont collapsed sewer line is difficult to access because of the home’s foundation, landscaping, utilities, easements, or some other obstruction, it can take more time and machinery to do the work, which again will drive up the cost. Depending on the location, additional permits may also be required to do the work, which will tack on added costs to get those pulled with the city.

Furthermore, the material used matters greatly as well! If the pipe material used for your home is iron, clay, ABS, or HDPE that will be more expensive to replace than PVC. That’s something to be aware of when talking to a plumber about the estimated project cost of a collapsed sewer pipe replacement in Westmont because the steep cost involved with replacing a significant section of sewer line on an older sewer system may make it cost prohibitive. Instead, it may make more sense to replace the entire sewer line with a cheaper material like PVC. (In some cases, new city code may also necessitate updating your sewer line depending on its location and the material it was made of previously.)
