What we cover

Sewer lateral problems hit older homes hardest. Anything pre-1970 in most U.S. cities still has either clay-tile or Orangeburg laterals from the original build. Both fail. Tile cracks at the joints; Orangeburg collapses under load.

Diagnosis order: cable first, then camera. Cable clears most active blockages. The camera shows you what's actually happening down there — joint offsets, root invasion, bellies, broken sections.

Repair options depend on the lateral. Spot repair on a single broken section: $3,200–$6,500. Trenchless pipe burst on the full lateral (replaces clay or cast iron with new HDPE): $6,500–$14,000. Open-trench replacement: rare anymore, only when trenchless isn't feasible.

Permit is almost always required. Municipal sewer authorities want to inspect lateral work before backfill. We pull the permit and coordinate the inspection.

Sample job

Last spring we got a call from a homeowner near the south Boston. Recurring sewer backups every six months. Diagnosis: clay tile joints had separated and roots had invaded at 5 different spots. We trenchless pipe burst replaced the full 80-foot lateral with HDPE, ran the test, and were out the door in in one trip. Total: $1375 including parts.
