Slow drains throughout the house

Wet spots or sinkholes in the yard

Sewage odors inside or outside

Repeated backups 

Gurgling sounds from drains

Foundation cracks or settling doors

Sewer problems rarely stay small. What starts as a minor crack can turn into a major break, and waiting often means higher repair costs and more damage to your home.

Trenchless Repair

Lasting Repairs Icon

Traditional Sewer Repair

When a section of pipe has collapsed or shifted, we dig to expose the problem area and replace only the damaged section, so you pay to fix what’s actually broken.

Do You Need a Repair or a Full Replacement?

Fill 63b7c99c7943 Sketched Underline

We use a sewer camera and locator to find the problem, then walk you through whether it’s a spot repair, a trenchless solution, or a full replacement. You only pay to fix what your line actually needs.

Traditional Replacement

Diagram showing how CIPP pipe lining works. A resin-coated liner is inserted into the existing damaged pipe and cured in place to create a new pipe inside the old one with no excavation.

Full excavation along the sewer line. Used when the pipe is collapsed, severely deteriorated or too damaged for trenchless methods, and a new section needs to be installed.

Trenchless Pipe Burst

Diagram showing how pipe bursting works. A new pipe is pulled through the old sewer line, breaking the old pipe outward, requiring only two small access points instead of a full trench.

A new full-size pipe is pulled through the old one, breaking it outward and taking its place. Access is through two smaller pits instead of a long open trench, and it works when the existing pipe path is intact.

Not sure which you need? Every job starts with a camera inspection so we recommend and perform the right level of repair for your home.

“Main sewer pipe was blocked by tree roots in two places in the line. The Brightside crew dug down to the pipe in freezing weather, replaced the bad pipe sections, returning service the same day. Great bunch of guys to work with.”

“We had major plumbing problems and they was out within a few hours of our call. He was here for several hours and it was determined that we needed multiple repairs. The extensive repairs were completed in 2 days. James is dependable, friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and kept us informed every step of the way. One of the nicest guys we’ve met in a long time! We appreciate everything he did for us and would give him 100 stars if we could!”

What a Sewer Repair Costs in Kansas City

Every sewer job is different, so we do not quote a final price before we see the line. What we can tell you is the typical range for sewer repairs and what tends to drive the cost up or down.

Spot Repair

$4,500 - $12,500+

As low as about $50/mo with no down payment and great credit*

A single section of pipe is replaced through a small, targeted dig. Most common when the camera inspection finds an isolated crack or root intrusion.

Trenchless Pipe Burst

$11,500 - $20,000+

As low as about $130/mo with no down payment and great credit*

A new full-size pipe is pulled through the old line with minimal digging. Two small access pits instead of a long open trench. Best when the line path is intact but the existing pipe is failing.

Full Excavation Replacement

$8,500 - $30,000+

As low as about $100/mo with no down payment and great credit*

Complete excavation and replacement of the sewer lateral. Used when the pipe is collapsed, back‑pitched or too deteriorated for trenchless methods and a new line is needed end to end.

What affects the price: pipe depth, length of the run, how easy the line is to access, pipe material and whether city permits or sidewalk cuts are needed. We walk you through all of those factors and the price for each option before any work starts.

Flexible financing is available. A sewer repair should not wait because of cost.

Sewer Repair Questions

Fill 63b7c99c7943 Sketched Underline

It depends on the type of repair, pipe depth, length of the run and how easy the line is to access. Spot repairs typically range from about $4,500 to $12,500. Trenchless pipe bursting usually runs $11,500 to $20,000. Full excavation replacement starts around $8,500 and can go higher depending on the job. We give you an upfront price after the camera inspection, before any work starts. Financing is available.

Slow drains throughout the house, sewage odors inside or outside, gurgling sounds from drains, wet spots or sinkholes in the yard, and repeated backups after cleaning are common signs of a sewer line problem. If you are seeing more than one of these, the sewer line is the most likely cause.

Yes. If the existing pipe path is intact, we can pull a new pipe through the old one using pipe bursting. That uses two small access pits instead of a long open trench. Not every job qualifies, which is why we run a camera inspection first to confirm eligibility.

Spot repairs are usually completed in a day. Trenchless pipe bursting typically takes two to three days. Full excavation replacement can take several days to a week or more, depending on depth, length and whether sidewalk or street cuts are involved.

Only if we have to. Most jobs are either a spot repair with one small excavation or a trenchless pipe burst with two access pits. When full excavation replacement is needed, we explain why. We always start with the camera to find the exact damage so we dig only where it is needed.

The camera inspection tells us. If the damage is isolated, a spot repair is usually enough. If the pipe is collapsed, back‑pitched or deteriorated along most of its length, replacement is the right call, either with trenchless pipe bursting or full excavation. We show you the footage and walk you through the options before you decide.

Yes. Every sewer repair comes with a lifetime workmanship warranty for as long as you own your home. If you sell, the warranty transfers to the new homeowner for one year. We also run a final camera inspection after the repair to verify the line is clear and flowing before we close the job. Full warranty details are in the Terms and Conditions link in the footer.

We offer same‑day sewer diagnostics, and we can usually start work the same day, even while permits are pending. For emergencies, we can often get you temporarily flowing within a few hours by digging a sewer relief pit so your home’s sewage has somewhere to drain while we work on the repair. In most cases, you can use your sewer almost the entire length of the project as normal, with no need to leave your home.
