Camera & Location Diagnostics
We run a high-resolution camera, record the video, and mark the exact sewer path with depth readings so we know precisely where to dig or pull pipe.
Tired of Repeat Backups, Sewer Smells, and Constant Band-Aid Fixes?
When your sewer line is failing, it doesn’t just clog once and go away. You might notice slow drains throughout the home, gurgling toilets, or sewage appearing in the basement — usually at the worst possible time. You may have already paid for multiple cleanings, only for the problem to return.
- Backups in multiple drains instead of just one fixture
- Sewage smells in your basement, yard, or near floor drains
- Standing water or soft spots in the yard along the sewer path
- Old clay, cast iron, or orangeburg pipe that’s collapsing
At this point, another quick snake isn’t going to cut it. You need a plan to replace the line fully, protect your home from future disasters, and get clear, honest pricing before anyone digs.

Why Replacing a Failing Sewer Line Is So Important
Ignoring sewer line problems doesn’t just mean more inconvenience — it can lead to serious health, safety, and property damage issues. A properly designed and installed sewer line keeps your home sanitary, protects your foundation, and preserves your yard and hardscapes.
- Protects your home and foundation from ongoing leaks that wash out soil and cause structural movement.
- Prevents sewage exposure that can create nasty odors, mold, and health concerns for your family.
- Improves home value by bringing your sewer system up to current code with documented permits and inspections.
- Stops the cycle of clogs so you’re not paying for emergency visits and cleanups again and again.
Old Clay or Orangeburg Line? It’s Not “If” — It’s “When.”
Many Omaha-area homes still rely on old clay or orangeburg lines from decades ago. These pipes crack, offset, and collapse over time — especially with tree roots and shifting soil. A full sewer line replacement is often the safest and most cost-effective long-term move.
Our team helps you choose the right materials, slope, and layout for your property so you get a quiet, reliable sewer line that’s built to last.
How Full Sewer Line Replacement Works (Step by Step)
We keep you in the loop from the first camera inspection to final backfill and cleanup. Here’s what to expect when you choose Omaha Drain for full sewer line replacement:
1
Camera Inspection & Location
We run a camera through your sewer line, record the video, and locate problem areas from inside the home to the city connection.
2
Design, Permits & Utility Locates
Your technician designs a replacement plan, pulls permits, and coordinates locates so we know exactly where utilities are before digging.
3
Replace, Test & Restore
We install the new sewer line (trenchless or traditional), perform pressure and flow tests, schedule inspections, then backfill and restore disturbed areas.
Illustration for layout only – your Omaha Drain technician will explain your specific route and depth on site.
Trenchless vs. Traditional Dig: We’ll Show You Both Options
Every property is different. In many cases, we can replace your sewer line using trenchless technology, pulling a new pipe through the old one with minimal surface disruption. If your line is severely collapsed or site conditions don’t allow trenchless, we’ll review traditional excavation options and restoration plans.
- Honest guidance on which method makes the most sense for your home
- Clear explanation of where we’ll access and how we’ll restore the area
- Upfront, written proposals before work begins – no surprises

FAQ
Full Sewer Line Replacement FAQs
How do I know if I need a full sewer line replacement instead of another cleaning?
If multiple drains are backing up, you’ve had repeated clogs, or a camera shows breaks, offsets, or heavy root intrusion, it’s usually more cost-effective to replace the line. We’ll show you the camera footage and explain all your options — including repair and full replacement — so you can decide with confidence.
Do you offer trenchless sewer replacement?
Yes. When soil conditions, depth, and layout allow, we can often replace your sewer with trenchless methods that minimize digging and protect landscaping, patios, and driveways. If trenchless isn’t possible, we’ll design a traditional replacement with clear restoration plans.
Will my water or sewer be shut off during the project?
During active digging and pipe tie-ins, we’ll need to limit use of your plumbing for short periods. Your project manager will let you know the daily schedule and when it’s safe to use fixtures. Most projects are completed within 1–2 days once permits and locates are ready.
Can you work in winter or during bad weather?
Yes, we replace sewer lines year-round in Omaha. Extreme cold or severe weather may affect scheduling and restoration, but your estimator will review timing and any seasonal considerations during your evaluation.
Do you coordinate with the city and inspectors?
We pull permits, schedule inspections, and meet with inspectors as needed. We also coordinate utility locates so we know where gas, electric, and other lines are before we dig.
