What a Sewer Installation Includes

A sewer installation service isn’t just digging a trench—it’s a detailed process that ensures your new system is safe, reliable, and built to last. At Father and Sons, we handle every stage from start to finish:

1️⃣ Initial Property Assessment

We begin by reviewing your property layout, soil conditions, and existing plumbing. This allows us to design a sewer line installation that meets your needs and complies with local building codes.

2️⃣ Permits & Planning

Navigating local regulations can be overwhelming. Our team secures all required permits and plans the project timeline, so your new sewer installation is hassle-free and compliant.

3️⃣ Excavation or Trenchless Access

Based on your property and the condition of the old line, we choose between traditional excavation or trenchless sewer installation methods. Trenchless techniques minimize disruption to landscaping, driveways, and patios.

4️⃣ Installing the Sewer Line

We use durable piping materials that are designed to last decades. Proper slope, alignment, and joint sealing ensure your sewer line flows smoothly and won’t fail prematurely.

5️⃣ Testing & Inspection

Before completion, we thoroughly test the line for leaks, flow efficiency, and correct connections. Every sewer installation is inspected to ensure it meets DuPage County standards.

6️⃣ Final Cleanup & Documentation

Once the line passes inspection, we restore the work area and provide documentation of your sewer installation service. We also share maintenance tips to help you extend the lifespan of your new system.

📌The Father and Sons advantage: You don’t just get a new pipe in the ground—you get a complete, code-compliant sewer installation done right the first time.

Signs You May Need a New Sewer Installation

Repairs can only go so far. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it may be time for a full sewer installation instead of another patch repair:

1️⃣ Collapsed or Severely Damaged Sewer Line

If your sewer line has collapsed or is cracked beyond repair, no amount of rodding or patching will restore it. In this case, a full sewer line replacement is the only permanent solution.

2️⃣ Frequent Sewer Repairs in a Short Time

Needing multiple sewer repairs within just a few years means your system is deteriorating. At that point, investing in a new sewer installation often costs less than repeated emergency fixes.

3️⃣ Outdated Sewer Materials

Older homes may still use clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg pipes, which are prone to cracks, corrosion, and collapse. Replacing these with a modern sewer line installation ensures safety, compliance, and long-term performance.

4️⃣ Major Property Upgrades or New Construction

If you’re adding new bathrooms, finishing a basement, or building a new property, your existing sewer line may not handle the added demand. A new sewer installation ensures your system is sized correctly from the start.

5️⃣ Persistent Flooding or Backups

If your home continues to flood or back up even after professional cleaning or rodding, the main sewer line may be too damaged or misaligned to function properly. Installing a new system resolves the issue once and for all.

📌 Bottom line: If repairs aren’t solving the problem, Father and Sons provides expert sewer installation services that give you a system built for decades of reliable use.

“What an amazing company and owner! Earl came out right away to figure out what was stuck in the toilet. He was able to dislodge the problem quickly and was very generous with his time.”

Sewer Repairs vs. New Sewer Installation

  • Average Sewer Repair: $300–$800 per visit
  • Multiple Repairs per Year: $1,500+ in recurring costs
  • New Sewer Installation: $3,500–$8,000 (one-time, lasts 50+ years)

✔ The Smarter Choice: Stop paying for temporary fixes. Invest once in a professional sewer installation and save thousands over time.

Common Problems a New Sewer Installation Solves

A new sewer installation doesn’t just replace old pipes — it eliminates recurring problems that waste money and put your property at risk.

Root Damage

Tree roots often break into older pipes, creating cracks and blockages that return even after cleaning. Over time, this makes the line too fragile to repair.

Our Solution: We replace outdated pipes with a new sewer line installation and, if roots are detected early, clear them with sewer rodding before installing.

Aging or Collapsed Pipes

Clay, cast iron, and Orangeburg pipes naturally deteriorate over time, leading to cracks, leaks, or full collapses underground. These issues often go unnoticed until major damage occurs.

Our Solution: Our team performs full sewer line replacements when repairs are no longer enough, restoring flow and eliminating hidden leaks. We install modern, durable materials such as PVC or HDPE, which resist corrosion and root intrusion for decades of reliable use.

Chronic Backups

If you’ve had repeated sewer repairs or rodding, but the clogs keep coming back, it’s usually due to deeper structural failures in the line.

Our Solution: Installing a new main sewer line removes the root cause of backups and ensures lasting performance.

Poor Drainage or Misaligned Pipes

Pipes with poor slope or “bellies” trap water and waste, causing slow drains and frequent clogs. Misaligned pipes can also create pressure that leads to cracks.

Our Solution: A new sewer installation service corrects slope, alignment, and grading so your system functions properly long-term.

Aging or Collapsed Pipes

Clay, cast iron, and Orangeburg pipes naturally deteriorate over time, leading to cracks, leaks, or full collapses underground. These issues often go unnoticed until major damage occurs.

Our Solution: Our team performs full sewer line replacements when repairs are no longer enough, restoring flow and eliminating hidden leaks. We install modern, durable materials such as PVC or HDPE, which resist corrosion and root intrusion for decades of reliable use.

Upgrades for Property Value

Failing or outdated sewer systems can lower property value and scare away potential buyers. Home inspections often flag old sewer lines as risks.

Our Solution: A new sewer line installation not only fixes the problem but also increases resale value—supported by sewer inspections to document the upgrade.

📌 Bottom line: Father and Sons provides the right mix of services—from rodding to repairs to full sewer installations—so your property gets exactly what it needs, nothing more and nothing less.

FAQs – Sewer Installation Services

How to install a sewer line?

A sewer line installation involves site assessment, permits, excavation or trenchless access, pipe installation, and inspection. Father and Sons handles the entire process from start to finish.

Most modern sewer installations use PVC or HDPE pipes because they are durable, corrosion-resistant, and long-lasting. These materials have replaced older clay, cast iron, and Orangeburg pipes, which often crack or collapse over time.

The depth of a sewer line installation depends on local code, soil, and frost line, but typically ranges from 4 to 8 feet underground. Father and Sons ensures every line is installed to DuPage County standards.

A properly installed sewer line can last 50 years or more, depending on the material and maintenance. Modern PVC installations often last longer than older clay or cast iron systems.

The cost of a new sewer installation service depends on property size, soil conditions, and method used. Father and Sons provides clear, upfront estimates so you know the price before work begins.
