A West Marietta ranch had slow drains and a soggy spot in the yard. The camera showed Orangeburg pipe flattened along 55 feet of the run, with one section already collapsed and holding standing water.

Book this service →A 1965 home in East Marietta had recurring sewer clogs every few months. The camera showed cast iron corrosion with heavy tuberculation narrowing the pipe to half its original diameter, plus a cracked section under the slab.
After: We replaced the cast iron run with PVC and rerouted the line around the slab edge to avoid cutting the floor. The new line restored full diameter and flow, and the homeowner stopped paying for monthly drain cleaning.
Book this service →Most of our replacement calls start with one of these four problems. Each one gets worse with time, and each one has a permanent fix.
Ask a pro →We cut the roots with a Picote or Spartan Tool cutter head, camera the joints, and replace the root-damaged run with PVC. New pipe has fewer joints and no gap for roots to enter, so the problem does not come back.
We locate the failure with a push rod camera, then excavate or pipe-burst the bad section. New pipe is bedded on compacted gravel at the correct fall so waste moves downhill and stays moving.
We replace the entire Orangeburg run with PVC or HDPE in one job. Because Orangeburg fails along its whole length, a spot repair rarely helps. A full replacement is the only fix that lasts.
When the camera shows heavy scale, we replace the cast iron run with smooth PVC. The new pipe restores full diameter and flow, and we hydro jet it before the final camera pass to prove it.

Typical 2026 pricing for a residential sewer line replacement in Marietta runs $4,500 to $12,000, depending on length, depth, method, and restoration. A 60-foot open-cut PVC replacement on a shallow line sits near the low end. Trenchless pipe bursting, deep lines under driveways, long runs, and concrete restoration push toward the high end.

A 40-foot run at 4 feet deep is a much smaller job than a 100-foot run at 8 feet. Depth drives excavation time, shoring requirements, and the amount of soil we have to move and compact.

A typical residential replacement takes one to three working days from dig to final camera pass. Permit approval adds two to five business days before we start. Trenchless jobs often finish in a single day because there is less excavation and backfill. Longer commercial runs, deep lines, and jobs needing concrete cutting can stretch to a week. We give you a day-by-day schedule in the written scope.
Yes, if the damage is isolated. A spot sewer repair or partial replacement makes sense when one section is cracked or root-bound and the rest of the line still cameras clean. We only recommend partial work when the remaining clay tile sewer pipe or cast iron has at least 14 years of service left. If the whole run is bellied or Orangeburg pipe, a full replacement is the better spend.
