Ares Plumbing & HVAC inspects, repairs and replaces residential sewer lines across the Wasatch Front. Every sewer job starts with a camera inspection, because the right fix depends on what the pipe is made of and what failed. Many problems can be solved with a spot repair instead of a full replacement.

What is different in Utah
Many Wasatch Front homes built before the 1970s have clay, cast iron or Orangeburg (tar-paper) sewer laterals. In most Utah cities the homeowner is responsible for the lateral from the house to the city main, so it pays to know its condition before it fails.
Sewer Line Repair cost
Typical range: $1,500–$4,000 for a spot repair; $6,000–$20,000 for full replacement. This is an estimate for typical Wasatch Front homes. Your written quote is the actual price. 0% financing options are available, subject to credit approval.
Repair and diagnostic visits start with a $79 service call fee, which is credited toward the repair when you go ahead. Quotes on replacements and installs are free.

Frequently asked questions
Who is responsible for the sewer line, me or the city?
In most Utah cities the homeowner owns and maintains the lateral from the house to the connection at the main. Check with your city or sewer district for the exact rule.
Can a sewer line be fixed without digging up the yard?
Sometimes. Trenchless lining or pipe bursting works when the pipe has the right condition and layout. A camera inspection tells us whether it is an option.
Should I get a sewer inspection before buying a house?
Yes, especially for a home built before the 1980s or one with large trees. A camera inspection costs far less than a sewer replacement.
