A failing sewer line is one of the most stressful problems a homeowner can face — and one where transparency matters most. We never recommend a full replacement when a repair will do.
A failing sewer line is one of the most stressful problems a homeowner can face — and one where transparency matters most. At Mr Perfect Plumbing, we never recommend a full replacement when a repair will do. Every sewer job starts with a camera inspection, so you see exactly what we see before any decision is made.
Aurora's mix of older clay-pipe neighborhoods (Del Mar, Hoffman Heights, original Aurora) and expansive clay soils makes root intrusion and pipe shifting especially common here. We know these systems and what to look for. Every technician we send is a fully trained plumber who can look at the whole system, not just the one thing you called about.
These symptoms often point to a single root cause — one camera inspection typically identifies it in under an hour. Also see our drain services page for related clearing and cleaning services.
We run a sewer camera through the line and locate the exact problem — roots, bellies, offsets, cracks, or collapse — and mark its depth and position. You get the footage and a written explanation of what it means.
No scare tactics, no "the whole line has to go" without proof.
Every line is different, but Aurora homeowners deserve realistic numbers before anyone digs. Typical metro-Denver market ranges:
| Service | Typical Range* |
|---|---|
| Sewer camera inspection | $150 – $400 |
| Main line clearing (roots / clog) | $300 – $600 |
| Hydro jetting a main line | $350 – $1,000 |
| Spot repair (single excavation) | $1,500 – $5,000 |
| Trenchless lining / pipe bursting | $135 – $200 per foot |
| Full sewer line replacement | $5,000 – $15,000 |
No dispatch fees M–F, 7am–5pm.
Avoids destroying your yard, driveway, or mature landscaping — often 30–50% less disruptive than full excavation. Requires the existing pipe to be structurally sound enough to host the new liner.
Sometimes the right call — fully collapsed pipes, severe bellies, or short shallow runs can make a dig the cheaper, more durable fix.
We explain both options with real numbers and let you decide. All repair work — trenchless or excavated — is covered by our 6-10 year labor warranty.
Sewer repairs are financeable. A $1,500 spot repair works out to roughly $31/month on a 60-month plan (example at 8.9% APR), and larger trenchless or replacement jobs can be spread out the same way.
