Sewer Line Replacement Cost / How Much Does A House Sewer Cost In NYC? A common question when a property owner is faced with a sewer problem is what is the cost of a sewer replacement. A NYC sewer replacement has many set cost factors, but many varied factors make a site visit mandatory for an accurate quote.

Because of factors such as traffic control and pedestrian safety a sewer replacement in the outer boroughs will take a minimum of two workdays to perform the installation safely and be in compliance with various rules and regulations. Sewer line replacements in Manhattan are much more complicated.

Therefore there is not an accurate per foot price for a NYC house sewer because of many factors. Some of these factors are:

Some roadways are wider than others and some buildings have a longer set-back from the property line.

Some roadways contain more underground utilities and require greater care during excavation and backfill.

A surprising number of areas are land marked and need special permission and have specific regulations to be followed prior to permits being issued by the NYC Department of Transportation.

Every property has a varied amount of concrete that will have to restored after completion of the sewer line replacement.

An important issue to always keep in mind in NYC for a sewer replacement is that both the NYC Department of Buildings and the NYC Department of Environmental Protection expressly state that sewer liners and trenchless house sewers are illegal in NYC. It is typical in the NYC sewer line replacement industry that estimates and site visits are free of charge and without obligation to hire.

Another important point is that there are major set costs such as permits, restoring disturbed concrete and asphalt areas, and a crew for a day. Therefore only in extremely rare cases does it make any financial sense to do "patch work" on a house sewer line. Frequently a sewer line does not run straight as one would expect, and there may not be accurate NYC sewer records.

That is why it is strongly recommended that sewer line work commence from the outside front of the building. Doing so eliminates the possibility of excavating in the wrong area and constantly changing the scope of work and pricing. Replacing complete sections of a sewer line is an assurance of a long lasting sewer line installation.
