Sewer Line Replacement removes the old pipe completely and installs a new one from cleanout to city tap. When a line has deteriorated beyond what any trenchless method can address, full replacement is the honest answer — and the one that actually holds.
Free phone consultation. Flat-rate pricing. No upsells, ever.
Trenchless methods are our first choice — but some situations require full Sewer Line Replacement. Four scenarios come up repeatedly on Charlotte jobs.
Sewer Line Replacement becomes more disruptive and more expensive the longer it's delayed. Four reasons to schedule it before the line forces the issue.
Sewer Line Replacement is a major job — preparation, permitting, and precision matter. Four standards drive every LiningWorks replacement.
Same five-step Sewer Line Replacement sequence on every residential job — whether the run is 28 feet or 280 feet. Here's how it actually works.
HD sewer camera maps the run. A sonde locator marks depth and path on the surface. The Sewer Line Replacement excavation footprint is set before a single shovel touches the ground.

We open the trench along the camera-marked path, remove the old sewer pipe, and prepare a clean, sloped sand bed for the Sewer Line Replacement pipe. All debris leaves the site the same day.

Schedule-40 PVC pipe is set in the sand bed at a minimum 1/4-inch-per-foot slope. Every joint is gasket-sealed. City-tap and cleanout connections are made per code.

We backfill in 6-inch lifts, mechanically compact each layer, and return the surface to pre-project condition. Sod, gravel, or concrete patching is coordinated the same day.

A final camera walk confirms the new pipe is clear, graded, and fully connected. We submit the inspection request to close the permit. You receive both camera videos and the permit record.

A NoDa bungalow with a 52-foot cast-iron main that had multiple collapses and a reversed-grade belly in the middle — no trenchless solution could bridge it. Our Sewer Line Replacement removed the old line, re-graded the entire run, and installed schedule-40 PVC. The yard was restored the same afternoon.
That sequence — scope, mark, remove, install, restore, permit — is how every LiningWorks Sewer Line Replacement runs. One flat price, one crew, one day for most residential jobs. No sub-contractors, no second invoices.

We had a plumbing emergency around the holiday's and called a local plumbing company. They cleared the line and quoted a pretty high price to dig up my yard and fix the damaged sewer line. The next day I found LiningWorks online and called Jeremiah. He was very helpful and confident they could fix my sewer line without digging. Seemed too good to be true. The lining has been installed, yard not damaged and looks to have resolved the break. Jeremiah even offered to come back and scope it at a later time to ensure it's all good. Highly recommend Lining Works for any situation where you can't or don't want to dig. Thanks guys!
LiningWorks was top notch. We had a sewer main that got damaged and was completely blocked up. They were able to clear the drain, remove all issues, and reline the entire sewer main without cutting out my driveway and yard. And they were able to get the job done in one day. I would and plan to do business these guys again in the future and would highly recommend them to others.
Where do I begin? Let's just say I had an absolute nightmare on my hands for about 5 years with my sewage. I had one company quote me 7k after he snaked my sewage line and from there I just kept snaking it every year. I dreaded the oncoming financial disaster but I bit the bullet and called LiningWorks. BEST home decision of 5 years. Jeremiah came out and tackled this chaos with grace and integrity. He got down to the root of it — after years of money, anxiety, and frustration he found out it was a city problem! I will definitely be calling LiningWorks when my lining needs replacing. Call them now, you will not be disappointed.
Hired them to redo the pipes at my home because they were old. They were very polite, answered all my questions thoroughly and did an AMAZING job. Jeremiah was the very best that I could ask for and highly recommend his services. Extremely satisfied with the work done. Thanks again Jeremiah!
I am very happy with the work that was done and the clean up after the job was done. Jeremiah and Ralph are very professional and skilled in their craft. I received an estimate and the job did exceed the original estimate. I contacted them about it and they were very understanding and explained why.
Lining Works was excellent to work with. They were perfectly professional. They were organized, efficient, and friendly throughout the whole process. They took time to answer all of our questions. Pipe lining is an incredible option and the team at Lining Works couldn't have been better. They were also transparent, honest, and consistent with their cost/pricing. We couldn't be happier. We feel very fortunate that we found Lining Works. Great guys!
The main drain line in our airbnb kept clogging up, filling the house with an awful sewage smell. We had drain cleaners come out to clear the line every couple months but it finally got so bad we had to close off our bookings. LiningWorks were very prompt in coming out. We discovered tree roots had broken up our line. Our sewage line runs under a tree and 6ft deep through our crawlspace so digging it up was going to be a nightmare. Liningworks was able to cut the tree roots out and line the pipe without any digging so that it's as good as new. Would definitely recommend them to anyone needing sewage line repair.
Lining Works responded to my request quickly and fixed my drain problem very fast. I would highly recommend you give them a call.
