Sewer Repairs Don’t Have to Be a Mystery
You’re noticing backed-up drains, foul smells, or wet spots in the yard — and now you’re wondering:
"Is this going to cost me thousands?"
It’s a fair question. Sewer line repair and replacement aren’t small jobs. But if you know what goes into the cost, you can plan ahead and avoid being blindsided.
At Red One Plumbing, we’ve done sewer repairs all over Pearland, Manvel, and Friendswood — and we believe in being 100% upfront with what homeowners can expect.
Factors That Affect Sewer Repair Pricing
1. Location of the Damage
A shallow break close to the house is cheaper than a deep pipe under the street. We inspect the depth, length, and access point to determine cost.
2. Extent of the Damage
Are we replacing a 5-foot section? Or the whole pipe? Cracks, breaks, and bellies (sags) each have different repair scopes.
3. Obstacles in the Way
Tree roots, driveways, fences, or patios can affect digging difficulty and cleanup.
4. Soil and Yard Conditions
Pearland’s clay-heavy soil can collapse easily, requiring more care and equipment to dig safely.
5. Permits and City Regulations
Repairs near sidewalks or public lines may require extra city inspections and fees — we’ll handle that for you.

FAQs
Q: Is sewer repair covered by homeowners insurance?
Sometimes. We’ll provide photos and documentation to help with your claim if needed.
Q: Can I repair just one section of the pipe?
If the rest of the line is in good shape, yes. We only recommend full replacement when it makes the most long-term sense.
Q: How long does sewer repair take?
Most jobs are 1–2 days. Larger or deeper repairs may take longer depending on yard access and weather.
