"My sewer backed up on a Sunday night and they had a truck out within the hour. Camera found roots, they jetted the line and I had a quote for the permanent fix the same visit. Fair price, zero mess."

"The online quote calculator was within $200 of the final invoice. That kind of honesty is rare in this business. Hydro jetting fixed our recurring backup problem completely."

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions Metro Detroit homeowners ask most about sewer excavation.

How much does it cost to repair a sewer line?

Most sewer line repairs cost between $1,500 and $12,000 depending on the repair method and pipe length. Spot repairs run $1,500-$3,800, CIPP lining runs $90-$250 per foot, pipe bursting runs $60-$200 per foot, and full excavation replacement runs $50-$250 per foot. A typical 40-foot replacement costs $2,000-$10,000 total, with a national average around $6,000. Every home starts with a camera inspection ($125-$500) that we waive with any repair.

How do I know if my sewer line needs repair?

Watch for slow drains in multiple fixtures, gurgling toilets, sewage smells in the yard or basement, unusually green patches of grass over the sewer path, or basement backups during heavy rain. A video camera inspection ($125-$500, waived with any repair) confirms the exact problem and location within 30 minutes.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency sewer service?

Yes. Sewer Repair Pros runs 24/7 emergency crews across Metro Detroit with an average 60-minute response time. Sewage backup in a basement is considered an emergency - call (248) 555-0127 and a live dispatcher answers around the clock.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Sewer Repair Pros is a fully licensed Michigan plumbing contractor, bonded and insured to $2,000,000. We pull all required municipal permits and every job passes city inspection. License numbers are printed on every estimate.

How long does a sewer repair take?

Most spot repairs are completed in one day. Trenchless lining and pipe bursting typically take 4-8 hours. Full excavation replacement of 40-80 feet usually takes 1-2 days including backfill and restoration.

Will my yard be dug up?

Not necessarily. Trenchless methods (pipe lining and pipe bursting) repair your sewer from two small access points, preserving lawns, driveways, and landscaping. If excavation is truly needed, we restore the area and only dig what is required.
