What happens when lining or bursting won't fix a pipe anymore? Full replacement is the answer: when a line has collapsed, shifted grade, or is simply too old and fragile to repair section by section.
Erlanger's mix of older in-city laterals and newer subdivision lines means replacement scope depends a lot on when the home was built. Erlanger Sewer Pros surveys the whole run first, so you know exactly what's being replaced and why before any work starts.

How Our Sewer Line Replacement Process Works
Step 1Full Line Assessment
The whole run gets camera-checked before we recommend replacement.
Step 2Replacement Planning
We map pipe material, path, and the trenchless method to use.
Step 3Old Pipe Removal
The old line is removed or fractured with minimal-dig equipment.
Step 4New Pipe Installation
New pipe goes in along the same path, or adjusted if grade requires it.
Step 5Connection Testing
Fixture and main-line connections get tested for proper function.
Step 6Site Cleanup
Work areas are restored once the new line checks out.

FAQs
Sewer Line Replacement FAQs
Will my insurance cover sewer line replacement?
It depends on your policy and the cause. Many policies exclude age-related failure or root damage, so check your specific coverage before assuming it's included.
Do I need a permit to replace a sewer line in Kenton County?
Full line replacement, especially with a new tie-in to the main, typically requires a permit. We handle the filing and inspection scheduling as part of the job.
How is replacement different from repair?
Repair fixes a specific damaged section. Replacement swaps out the entire run when the pipe is too old, collapsed, or damaged in multiple places to patch reliably.
What drives the cost of a full replacement?
Pipe length, depth, number of access points, and whether a trench-assist dig is needed all move the price. A camera survey ahead of the quote keeps the number accurate.
Can trenchless replacement be done on older homes with original laterals?
Trenchless pulling works on most pipe materials and ages, as long as there's a clear path to pull new pipe through.
