Depending on your home’s unique needs, there are multiple methods for installing or replacing a sewer line. Two of the most common techniques are traditional trenching and trenchless repiping. The best approach varies based on factors like your yard layout, existing pipes, and local regulations. Our expert technicians will evaluate your property and recommend the most efficient installation method for your Twin Cities home. Contact Bonfe Underground today to schedule an inspection!

Typically, sewer lines are buried about six to ten feet deep, but this depth can vary based on your property’s needs and local building codes. Our Bonfe Underground experts will determine the optimal depth for your new sewer line, ensuring it is safely installed to meet all regulatory requirements.

A clogged sewer line can cause significant issues in your home. If you notice slow drains or backups, contact Bonfe Underground. Our technicians will conduct a thorough sewer line inspection using advanced camera technology to identify the blockage. Once the issue is pinpointed, we’ll work with you to choose the best repair solution, whether it’s hydro-jetting, rooter service, repiping with a sewer liner, or a full replacement.

Planning the route of a new sewer line is an essential step in the installation process. Our technicians carefully consider factors like property lines, existing utility lines, and potential obstacles such as trees. We work closely with local authorities throughout the Greater Twin Cities Metro to ensure compliance with all regulations and choose the most effective and safe placement for your new sewer line.

No, not always. If your main sewer line is still in good enough condition and you act proactively, Bonfe Underground offers trenchless solutions like sewer liner installation. This method minimizes disruption to your yard and landscaping, providing a quicker, less invasive solution. However, in some cases, like a full collapse or a structurally damaged main sewer line, traditional trenching is needed to install a new sewer line. This process involves digging a trench to lay the pipe, requiring specialized equipment and expertise.

If you already know you need a new sewer line, it’s likely due to serious issues identified during a camera inspection. Common reasons to call Bonfe Underground for professional sewer line installation include:

• Pipe Collapse: Old, deteriorated clay or cast iron pipes can collapse, blocking the flow of wastewater and requiring a full replacement.
• Offsets or Misalignment: When sections of your sewer line shift out of place due to ground movement, it creates offsets that disrupt water flow and can cause frequent backups.
• Bellied or Sagging Pipes: A belly, or sag, in your sewer line can trap debris and cause recurring clogs. This is often due to soil settling and usually requires a new installation to correct.
• Tree Root Intrusion: Roots from nearby trees can invade your sewer line, causing severe blockages and even breaking the pipe, making replacement necessary.
• Severe Corrosion or Deterioration: If your pipes are corroded or showing signs of significant wear, it’s best to replace them to prevent future issues and avoid costly emergency repairs.
