A sewer line repair can handle a lot, but some situations call for a full replacement. Here's when we typically recommend it:
We start by running a camera through the line to confirm the extent of the damage and map out exactly what needs to be replaced.
Traditional dig, trenchless pipe bursting, or a combination — we explain what makes sense for your property and give you the full price upfront.
Mecklenburg County requires permits for sewer line replacements. We handle that for you.
We remove the old pipe and install a new one using modern materials that are built to last and resistant to root intrusion. We backfill, compact, and restore the site.
We run the camera through the new line to confirm everything is installed correctly and flowing properly.
At Precision Sewer Line Repair CO, we replace old sewer lines with modern materials designed to handle Charlotte's soil conditions:
The most common choice for residential sewer line replacement. Durable, root-resistant, and affordable. Holds up well in Charlotte's clay soil.
Flexible and seamless, which makes it a strong option for properties with shifting soil. No joints for roots to find their way into.
Both materials are a major upgrade from the clay and cast iron pipes found in many older Charlotte homes. The new line is built to last decades.
Here are the general ranges we see:
| Replacement Type | Typical Cost |
|---|---|
| Standard replacement (traditional dig) | $5,000 – $15,000 |
| Trenchless pipe bursting | $4,000 – $10,000 |
| Permit fees (Mecklenburg County) | $100 – $500 |
| Camera inspection (diagnostic) | $250 – $500 |
Cost depends on the length and depth of the line, the method used, and how much restoration is needed after. We give you the full price before we start — no change orders, no surprises.

Most replacements take 2–3 days. Trenchless pipe bursting can sometimes be done in 1–2 days. It depends on the length, depth, and what's above the line.
It depends on the condition. If the damage is isolated, we can replace just that section. If the entire line is failing, a full replacement is the smarter investment.
We backfill and compact the trench, and do our best to leave the site clean. If landscaping needs to be restored, we'll let you know upfront so you can plan for it.
No. Modern PVC and HDPE pipes are much more resistant to root intrusion than the old clay and cast iron lines they're replacing. The joints are tighter and the materials are harder for roots to penetrate.
Yes. Mecklenburg County requires permits for sewer line replacements. We handle the permitting process.
In most cases, yes. We'll let you know ahead of time if there will be any period where your plumbing is temporarily out of service.
