Sewer Line Replacement in Chester Springs, PA & the Main Line Area

Sewer lines deteriorate over time due to various factors, including:

• Tree Root Intrusion – Roots grow into sewer pipes, causing cracks and blockages.
• Pipe Corrosion & Rust – Older metal pipes weaken and eventually collapse.
• Shifting Soil & Ground Movement – Natural settling and erosion can misalign or break sewer pipes.
• Grease & Debris Buildup – Accumulated grease, soap, and non-flushable materials create blockages.
• Extreme Weather & Freezing Temperatures – Repeated freeze-thaw cycles weaken pipes over time.

At Rocket Plumbing & Drain, we offer both trenchless and traditional sewer line replacement options.

Trenchless Sewer Replacement (Minimal Digging)

• Uses pipe bursting or cured-in-place pipe lining (CIPP).
• Best for pipes with minor cracks, root damage, or partial collapse.
• Faster, less invasive, and cost-effective compared to full excavation.

Traditional Excavation (Full Replacement)

• Necessary when the pipe is completely collapsed, misaligned, or beyond repair.
• Involves digging and removing the old sewer line.
• Best for severe damage, large-scale replacements, or inaccessible pipes.

A sewer camera inspection helps determine the best replacement method for your property.

• Trenchless sewer replacements typically take 1-2 days.
• Traditional excavation replacements can take 3-7 days, depending on complexity.

Factors like weather conditions, pipe depth, and accessibility may affect the timeline.

Coverage depends on your specific policy and the cause of the damage. Insurance may cover replacement if the failure is due to:

• Sudden and accidental damage (tree root intrusion, soil shifting).
• Collapsed pipes due to external forces.

However, insurance typically does not cover:

• Aging pipes or normal wear and tear.
• Corrosion or pre-existing damage.

We recommend checking with your provider and asking about sewer line protection plans.

The cost of sewer line replacement depends on:

• The length and depth of the sewer pipe.
• The type of replacement method (trenchless vs. excavation).
• The extent of damage and additional repairs needed.

While trenchless methods may have a higher upfront cost, they save money on landscaping repairs and labor compared to traditional excavation.

We use high-quality, durable materials designed to last 50+ years, including:

• PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) – Resistant to corrosion and tree roots.
• HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) – Flexible and impact-resistant.
• CIPP (Cured-in-Place Pipe Lining) – Creates a new, seamless pipe inside the old one.

Modern sewer pipes are more efficient, longer-lasting, and environmentally friendly than older clay or cast iron pipes.

Yes! In most cases, you do not need to leave your home. However, during the replacement process:

• Water and sewer service may be temporarily shut off for a few hours or a day.
• If excavation is required, certain areas of your yard may be off-limits.
• For trenchless replacements, the impact is minimal, and most work is done outside.

We work to minimize disruptions and ensure a smooth, efficient replacement process.
