Sewer Line Replacement in Wichita, Augusta & Andover

When Do You Need a Full Sewer Line Replacement?

Not every sewer problem requires a new line. Around Wichita, Augusta, Andover and El Dorado, we recommend full sewer line replacement when:

• Camera inspection shows multiple breaks or offsets throughout the line.
• There are long sections of collapsed pipe that can't be restored with cleaning or spot repair.
• The line is severely out of grade (belly), holding water and solids in multiple areas.
• The existing material (often old clay or Orangeburg) is near the end of its lifespan and failing across much of the run.
• You're planning major renovations or a sale and want a long-term solution, not repeated emergency calls.

Our goal is to match the fix to the problem. If a spot repair will safely solve it, we say so. When the line is too far gone, we'll explain why replacement is the better investment.

How We Plan and Install Your New Sewer Line

Replacing a sewer line is a big project, but it doesn't have to be confusing. We follow a simple, transparent process for sewer line replacements in Wichita, Augusta and Butler County:

1. Sewer Camera Inspection & Locating – we start by scoping the line with an HD camera to document damage, measure distances and mark problem areas in the yard or basement.
2. Evaluate Trenchless vs. Traditional Options – based on depth, routing, utilities and city requirements, we determine whether trenchless replacement (like pipe bursting) or traditional excavation is the best fit.
3. Upfront Written Estimate – you'll see clear pricing, scope of work and what's included before you sign off. No surprise add-ons at the end.
4. Permits & City Coordination – we pull the necessary permits, coordinate inspections and make sure your new line meets local codes and city standards.
5. Replacement & Testing – our team replaces the line, ties into the city main or septic, then thoroughly tests for proper flow and checks all connections before backfilling.
6. Clean-Up & Final Walk-Through – once the new line is in, we backfill carefully and clean up the jobsite as much as conditions allow. We'll walk you through the work and answer any questions.

Trenchless vs. Traditional Sewer Line Replacement

Homes in Wichita, Augusta, Andover and El Dorado sit on a mix of older and newer infrastructure. That's why we look at both trenchless and traditional methods for each sewer replacement:

• Trenchless replacement (like pipe bursting or lining) can often give you a new pipe with less digging, less yard disruption and faster completion, when access and conditions are right.
• Traditional excavation is sometimes required when depth, routing, utilities or city rules make trenchless impractical—or when only part of the line needs to be replaced.

We'll explain which options fit your property and budget, and help you compare cost, yard impact and long-term reliability. You'll never be pushed into a method that doesn't make sense for your home.
