When your main line fails, you need sewer line replacement in Florida from a crew that knows the state's soil, codes, and weather. We replace cracked clay, corroded cast iron, and root-choked PVC for homeowners and businesses from the Panhandle to the Keys. Same-day estimates, trenchless options when the yard matters, and a warranty on every line we install.
Sewer line replacement in Florida means pulling the failed section of pipe out of the ground and installing new pipe that meets current Florida plumbing code. We start with a sewer camera inspection to find the break, bellies, and root intrusion. Then we locate the line with a pipe locator, dig or burst, set new PVC pipe or HDPE pipe, and tie it back into the city main or septic tank. Every joint gets tested before we backfill.
Most Florida calls come from three things: tree root intrusion in older clay pipe, soil shifting after heavy rain, and cast iron pipe that has simply rotted through. If you have repeated sewer backups, a soggy patch in the yard, or sewage smell in the house, the line is already telling you it is done. We offer Florida sewer line replacement services for single-family homes, condo associations, and commercial buildings that cannot afford a multi-day shutdown.
Every replacement we quote covers the full job, not just the pipe. You get the inspection, the permit, the excavation or trenchless pull, the new line, the testing, and the cleanup. If something on your property needs extra work, like a driveway cut or a city main tap, we tell you before we start.
We run a sewer camera and crawler through the line and record the footage. You get a copy of the video and a written summary of the defects. This is what tells us whether you need a spot repair, lining, or a full replacement.
We pull the local building permit and schedule the inspection with your city or county. The work is done to Florida plumbing code, and we do not close the job until it passes. You get the paperwork for your records or a future home sale.
We install new PVC pipe or HDPE pipe with proper bedding and mechanical couplings. Old clay pipe, cast iron pipe, and failed concrete pipe come out. Every joint is assembled to manufacturer spec and pressure-tested before backfill.
If your line runs under hardscape, mature trees, or a slab, we quote a trenchless method using pipe bursting or HDPE pull-through. It costs a bit more upfront but usually saves more on restoration. We tell you which method fits your yard.
We backfill, compact, replace sod where we dug, and haul away the old pipe and debris. The yard is left as close to how we found it as the job allows. You do not have to hire a separate landscaper to put it back together.
Before we leave, we run the camera one more time and show you the new line on the monitor. You get the recording, the invoice with the workmanship warranty, and our direct number if anything ever looks off. That is the whole job.
We run a sewer camera and crawler down the line to see the break, the bellies, and the root mass. You watch the monitor with us. This takes 30 to 45 minutes and tells us whether you need a spot repair or a full replacement. No guessing, no selling you pipe you do not need.
A pipe locator traces the line across your yard so we know exactly where to dig or where to set the access pits. We mark the route with paint and flags, then walk it with you. If we are crossing a driveway or pool deck, we plan the trenchless path here.
We pull the local building permit and coordinate the inspection. On trenchless jobs we set two access pits, one at the house and one at the city main or septic tank. We lay down protection for your floors and walkways before any equipment rolls in.
For open-cut, we remove the old clay pipe or cast iron pipe and set new PVC pipe on fresh bedding. For trenchless, we pull HDPE pipe through the old run or use pipe bursting when the old line is collapsed. A 40 to 80 foot residential run usually takes one to two days.
We pressure-test the new line, run the camera one more time, and backfill. Sod goes back, the pits get compacted, and we haul off the old pipe. You get the camera recording and the permit paperwork. We do not leave until water and waste flow the way they should.
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
We run an Insight Vision or CUES crawler down the line to see the break, the bellies, and the root mass. You watch the monitor with us. It is how we decide between a repair and a replacement.
A pipe locator traces the sewer line across your yard and marks it with paint and flags. It keeps us from hitting irrigation, gas, or electrical lines and tells us exactly where to set access pits.
We use a Vactor and hydro jetting machine to cut grease, roots, and debris back to bare pipe. High-pressure water cleans the line without the chemical damage that drain cleaner causes.
A root cutter is a spinning blade that cuts tree roots out of the pipe. We use it before jetting so the roots flush out instead of wrapping around the head.
We run HammerHead and Picote pipe bursting equipment to pull new HDPE pipe through the old line. It shatters the old pipe outward and leaves you with a new line and minimal digging.
For lining jobs, we use a CIPP inversion drum to push epoxy resin-saturated liner through the pipe and cure it in place. It creates a seamless new wall inside the old pipe.
A 1950s Tampa home had sewage backing into the tub every few months. The line was original clay pipe, and a live oak had sent roots through three joints. Two previous companies had jetted the line and told the owner it was fine. The camera showed a collapsed section 38 feet from the house.
We replaced 52 feet of clay pipe with new PVC pipe using trenchless pipe bursting. The oak stayed, the driveway stayed, and the job took a day and a half. The final camera pass showed a clean, round line with no root intrusion. The owner has had zero backups in two years.
A 1985 Pembroke Pines home had a cast iron pipe under the slab that had rusted through on the bottom. The owner was plunging the toilet weekly and had sewage smell in the hallway. A plumber quoted a full slab break-out and three weeks of work.
We ran a camera and found the rot was confined to a 24-foot run. We used trenchless HDPE pull-through and only cut two access pits in the yard. The job finished in one day. The smell was gone immediately, and the line passed inspection the next morning.
A Lakeland restaurant had a grease line that backed up into the kitchen every Friday night. The line was original concrete pipe and had been jetted four times in a year. Grease buildup had narrowed the pipe to about half its diameter, and the health inspector was getting involved.
We hydro jetted the line with a Vactor, camera-inspected it, and found two cracked sections. We replaced 40 feet with new PVC pipe sized for the kitchen's flow. The work was done over two nights so the restaurant never closed. It has passed every inspection since.
Most sewer line failures in Florida come down to a handful of causes. We see them every week, and we know how to fix them without selling you work you do not need. Here are the ones that bring customers to us.
Ask a pro →We cut the roots with a root cutter, jet the line clean, and camera it to see the damage. If the pipe is cracked, we replace that section with new PVC pipe or line it with CIPP. If the whole run is infested, we quote a full replacement.
We camera the line to confirm the rot, then replace the failed run with PVC pipe. If the line runs under a slab, we use trenchless methods to minimize concrete work. The new pipe will outlast the house.
We locate the belly with a sewer camera and pipe locator, then replace the sagging section and re-bed it on compacted material. If the whole run is shifting, we install new HDPE pipe that flexes with the soil instead of cracking.
We hydro jet the line with a Vactor and hydro jetting machine to cut the grease back to bare pipe. Then we camera it to check for damage. If the pipe is still sound, we set you on a maintenance schedule. If not, we quote the replacement.
$4,000 - $12,000 depending on scope
Honest pricing starts with an honest inspection. We camera the line first, then quote the job. Typical 2026 pricing in Florida runs $4,000 to $12,000 for a residential replacement, with most homes landing between $5,500 and $8,500. Trenchless work adds 10 to 20 percent but usually saves more on restoration. Commercial sewer line replacement Florida pricing depends on pipe diameter and access. We give you a written price before we dig, and we do not add charges at the end.
You are paying for a line that will last decades, a permit that keeps you legal, and a warranty that means we come back if something fails. The cheap quote that skips the camera and the permit is the one that costs you twice.
A 40-foot run from the house to the city main costs less than an 80-foot run to the back of the lot. We measure the line with a pipe locator during the inspection so you know the exact footage before you approve the work.
Deeper lines mean more excavation, more shoring, and more time. In Florida, lines under a slab or a deep yard can add $1,500 to $3,000 to the job. Trenchless methods reduce that cost because we dig less.
Trenchless pipe bursting or HDPE pull-through usually costs 10 to 20 percent more than open-cut. But it protects driveways, pool decks, and mature trees, which can save you thousands in restoration. We quote both when both are possible.
Standard 4-inch PVC pipe is the most economical. Larger commercial lines, HDPE pipe, and CIPP lining cost more because of material and equipment. We match the pipe to your flow so you are not paying for capacity you do not need.
“We had sewage backing into the laundry room every time it rained. Two other companies just jetted the line and took our money. Florida Sewer Line Experts ran a camera, showed us the collapsed clay pipe on the monitor, and replaced 55 feet with trenchless the next day. They saved the oak tree and the driveway. No backups since.”
Marcus D.Homeowner, Tampa
✓ Verified“We manage a 12-unit building and had a main line that kept clogging. Their crew came out, inspected the whole run, and replaced the failed section under the parking lot with pipe bursting. They worked around our tenants, kept the water on, and passed inspection the first time. The camera footage they gave us was clean.”
Yolanda R.Property Manager, Pembroke Pines
✓ Verified“Our house is on a slab and the line was under the concrete. I was expecting a nightmare. They used trenchless and only cut two small holes in the yard. Job was done in a day and a half. The price matched the estimate to the dollar. I would call them again tomorrow.”
Dale K.Homeowner, Lakeland
✓ VerifiedTypical 2026 pricing in Florida runs $4,000 to $12,000 for a residential sewer line replacement, with most single-family homes landing between $5,500 and $8,500. Trenchless work usually costs 10 to 20 percent more than open-cut because of the equipment, but you save that back on yard and driveway repair. Commercial sewer line replacement Florida pricing depends on pipe diameter, run length, and whether the line sits under a parking lot or slab.
Most residential replacements take one to two working days from dig to final camera pass. A straightforward 40-foot open-cut run can be done in a single day. Trenchless jobs often finish in one day because there is less excavation and backfill. If we hit rock, a collapsed section, or a city main tie-in that needs a permit inspection, add a day. We give you a realistic window before we start.
Standard Florida homeowners policies usually exclude sewer line replacement because it is considered wear and tear. Some carriers offer a sewer backup endorsement that covers cleanup inside the house, but not the pipe itself. Separate service line coverage riders do exist and often cost $50 to $150 a year. We give you the camera footage and a written scope so you can file a claim if your policy covers it.
For most Florida homes, trenchless pipe bursting or HDPE pull-through is the best method because it protects landscaping and hardscape. Open-cut with new PVC pipe is still the right call when the line is shallow, the yard is already torn up, or the run has multiple breaks. We decide after the camera inspection. If your line is under a pool deck or mature oak, trenchless almost always wins.

Sewer Line InspectionEvery replacement starts with a camera inspection. We run a sewer camera and crawler through the line, grade the defects to NASSCO PACP standards, and show you the footage before we quote anything. It is the only honest way to know whether you need a spot repair or a full replacement.Explore →
Trenchless Sewer RepairWhen the pipe is still structurally sound but has a crack or root intrusion, trenchless sewer repair can fix it without a full replacement. We use CIPP liner and epoxy resin to seal the defect from the inside. It is faster and cheaper than digging, and it buys years of service.Explore →
Sewer Pipe LiningSewer pipe lining installs a CIPP liner inside your existing pipe, creating a new seamless wall that resists roots and corrosion. It works well for clay pipe and cast iron pipe that is cracked but not collapsed. We inspect first to confirm the host pipe can hold the liner.Explore →
Pipe BurstingPipe bursting pulls a bursting head through the old line, shattering it outward while new HDPE pipe is dragged in behind. It is the go-to trenchless method when the old pipe is collapsed or heavily root-infested. We use HammerHead bursting equipment sized to your line diameter.Explore →
Sewer Line Clog RemovalNot every backup means a new line. We clear grease buildup, roots, and debris with a hydro jetting machine and root cutter, then camera the line to confirm it is clean. If the pipe is too far gone, we tell you straight and quote the replacement.Explore →
Tree Root RemovalTree root intrusion is the number one killer of Florida sewer lines. We cut roots with a root cutter, jet the line clean, and camera it to check for damage. If roots have cracked the pipe, we move to lining or replacement before they grow back.Explore →
Sewer Backup RepairWhen sewage backs into your home, the first job is stopping it. We clear the blockage, clean and sanitize the affected area, then diagnose the cause. If the line is broken, we schedule the replacement and get you back to normal fast.Explore →
