This five-step sewer line installation process includes:

- Installing the pipe
- Backfilling the trench

Sewer Line Replacement
Sewer pipes are built to last, but they won’t last forever. Eventually, they will require replacement. Typically, you can expect the following life spans for your sewer lines based on materials:
- Clay pipes: 50 to 60 years (no longer installed in new homes)
- Cast-iron pipes: 75 to 100 years
- PVC pipe: Indefinite unless damaged
However, any of these estimates can change if spontaneous damage occurs from construction, weather, earthquakes, shifting soil, tree roots, corrosion, or poor installation.
Main Sewer Line Clogs
If you notice slow drainage, sewage-like odors, gurgling toilets or drains, wastewater backups, or issues with your plumbing fixtures, you may have a main sewer line clog. Various things can cause the main sewer line to clog, such as:
- Debris
- Tree roots
- Shifting soil that changes the slope of your pipe
- A misaligned main sewer line that permits dirt to enter
- Broken pipes

Sewer & Drain FAQs
A faulty sewer line often emits unusual sounds and scents. Puddles and lush spots on your lawn are classic signs of a leak. Other signs that your sewer line needs to be replaced include bubbling or overflowing toilets, multiple drains clogging at once, and if your sewer line is over 25 years old. Tree roots are the most common culprits of sewer blockages, but foreign objects are another frequent offender. Fats, oil, and grease can build up over time to form a complete blockage. If you live in an old neighborhood, you should also consider the age of your sewer line. Deteriorated pipes often collapse. Your sewer and drain line form a kind of symbiosis, so the debris that flows through your drain can cause sewer blockages. Merely keeping your drains free of grease and hair will go a long way toward keeping your line unclogged. Frequent drain cleaning is another important prevention strategy. If you’ve had root intrusions before, copper sulfate should become a routine part of your plumbing care routine.
