At some point, repairs stop making sense. Knowing when to replace saves you from wasting money on fixes that won't last. Here are four signs it's time for a new line.
Frequent backups that keep returning. If your drains back up again weeks after clearing, the problem runs deeper than a simple clog. Repeated issues point to structural failure inside the pipe.
Sewage pooling in your yard. Wet spots or standing sewage after repair attempts mean the line has multiple breaks. Patching one section won't fix damage spread throughout the pipe.
Camera shows cracks along the full length. When our inspection reveals damage running the entire line, spot repairs won't hold. Full replacement is the only lasting fix.
Outdated pipe materials. Orangeburg, clay, and badly corroded cast iron pipes have reached the end of their service life. Many homes in South Arlington still have these older materials. Shifting clay soil in the area speeds up their failure even faster.
Not every replacement requires digging up your entire yard. The right method depends on your pipe's condition and your property layout.
Trenchless pipe bursting pulls a brand-new pipe through the path of the old one. Small access points at each end are all we need. Your lawn, driveway, and landscaping stay intact. This method works best when the existing pipe path is still usable and hasn't collapsed.
Traditional excavation becomes necessary in certain situations. Pipes that have fully collapsed need to be removed by digging. Severe misalignment or bellied sections also require open-trench work to correct the slope.
HOA communities in Viridian and other Arlington master-planned neighborhoods often prefer trenchless for minimal disruption. We assess your Arlington property before starting and recommend the approach that fits. Either way, you end up with a new sewer line built to last.
Knowing each step helps you prepare for the project. Here's what to expect from start to finish.
First, we run a camera inspection to map the old line. The footage shows the exact condition and location of damage. This confirms replacement is the right call.
Next, we pull permits from the City of Arlington. Local code requires permits and inspections for all sewer line work. We handle the paperwork so you don't have to.
Our crew creates access points at each end of the line. For trenchless work, these are small entry holes. For excavation, we dig along the pipe path. Sewer lines in North Texas sit about 2 to 4 feet deep, though depth varies by property.
The old pipe is removed or burst in place. The new line goes in and connects to your house and the city main. We run a final camera test and schedule the city inspection. Once approved, we restore and clean the site. Homeowners in West Arlington and across the city get the same careful process every time.
Before scheduling replacement, it helps to know what you're responsible for. Many homeowners—especially buyers of older Interlochen-area homes—aren't sure where their responsibility ends.
You own the sewer lateral. That's the pipe running from your house to the street connection. The City of Arlington maintains only the main sewer line under the road. Your cleanout location often marks where the boundary sits.
Standard homeowner insurance usually does not cover sewer line replacement. However, some insurers offer service line protection as an add-on. Check your policy now rather than after an emergency. If you have coverage, it may offset part of the replacement.
Baker Brothers replaces the portion you're responsible for—the lateral line from your home to the city connection. We explain ownership clearly before any work begins.
A failing sewer line can stall a home sale fast. Arlington home inspections routinely flag old or damaged pipes. Buyers in a competitive market prefer turnkey properties with no hidden problems.
Replacing your sewer line removes a major negotiation point. There's no contingency for the buyer to request. The inspection passes clean, and the sale moves forward without delays.
New PVC or HDPE pipes last 50 to 100 years with proper installation. That's decades of protection against backups, leaks, and damage claims. Whether you plan to sell soon or stay long-term, a new line adds real value.
We provide documentation of the replacement for your records. You'll have proof of the work for future buyers or your own peace of mind.
Sewer line replacement becomes necessary when repairs can no longer restore proper flow or structural integrity. Replacement is the right choice when damage is too severe or widespread for patching to work.
Signs that indicate replacement:
Repeated backups that return after multiple repairs
Collapsed or bellied pipe sections
Extensive root damage running throughout the line
Pipes made of outdated materials like Orangeburg or deteriorated clay
Arlington homes over 40 years old often have pipes approaching the end of their service life. Baker Brothers provides camera inspection to confirm whether replacement is needed before any work begins.
