Sewer Line Replacement in Franklin & Nashville, TN
Sewer line replacement installs an entirely new sewer line when the existing pipe is too deteriorated to repair, using either trenchless methods (pipe bursting or full-length lining) or traditional excavation.
What It Is
We are trenchless-first, so we replace without digging whenever the line allows, and we tell you honestly when excavation is the right call.
How It Works — Our Process
Our sewer line replacement process matches method to condition:
A Full Camera Inspection
A full camera inspection with PACP scoring and sonde line locating
A Method Decision
trenchless if pipe geometry allows, excavation if the line is fully collapsed, must be re-routed, or needs grade correction
Permit Pull
Permit pull with Metro Nashville Water Services or the county water department
Installation
Installation of the new line with the least surface disruption possible
A Final Camera Pass,
A final camera pass, plus full restoration if excavation was required
When You Need It
Replace the line when a camera inspection shows widespread failure — multiple cracks, heavy cast iron corrosion, a deformed Orangeburg run, or a collapsed section over a long length. Isolated damage may only need a repair, which the inspection determines.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does sewer line replacement cost in Nashville?
Trenchless replacement runs $150–$180 per linear foot for pipe bursting or $180–$200 per linear foot (includes prep — hydro jetting and descaling) for lining; a traditional dig-and-replace for a typical 80-foot line is $8,000–$10,000 (80-ft typical residential, depending on depth, transitions, and fittings). Financing is available.
Is trenchless or traditional replacement better?
Trenchless is less invasive and usually cheaper once restoration is included, but a fully collapsed or re-routed line may require excavation. The camera inspection settles which method fits.
Do you offer financing for sewer line replacement?
Yes. Financing is available through Synchrony and Service Finance to spread out the cost of a full replacement.
How long does a sewer line replacement last?
A new trenchless or excavated line carries a 50-year design life, and our pipe lining is backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty.
