Sewer line replacement in Metro Detroit: what to expect

Older Metro Detroit homes often have clay or cast iron sewer lines that crack, collapse or fill with tree roots. Repeated backups, gurgling drains and wet spots in the yard point to a failing line. A camera inspection shows where and how bad the damage is.

In most Metro Detroit cities the owner is responsible for the sewer line from the house to the city main. Replacement is done by digging a trench or, where it fits, by trenchless methods like pipe bursting. Compare with trenchless sewer repair and sewer camera inspection.

What a proper job includes

  • Camera inspection and locating the line
  • Utility marking through MISS DIG 811
  • Excavation or trenchless replacement
  • New PVC or HDPE pipe with proper slope
  • Connection to the city tap
  • Backfill, permit and inspection

What drives the price

  • Length and depth of the line
  • Dig or trenchless method
  • Driveways, sidewalks or trees in the way
  • Work in the street or right of way
  • Restoration of lawn or concrete
  • City permit and tap fees

Permits and licensing in Michigan

Sewer line replacement needs a plumbing permit and, when work reaches the street, a right of way or sewer connection permit from your city. Utilities must be marked through MISS DIG 811 before digging. In Detroit, sewer connections involve DWSD and BSEED. Check the plumbing license on the LARA lookup.

How to compare quotes

  1. Ask to see the camera video and where the break is.
  2. Ask whether trenchless works for your line.
  3. Confirm permits, MISS DIG marking and restoration are in the quote.
  4. Ask who fixes the lawn, driveway or sidewalk.
  5. Compare warranties on the new line.
