Water Line Replacement And Sewer Line Replacement Cost – What comprises the sewer line replacement cost In NYC? What is the cost for a water and sewer line? The replacement cost is a common question faced by many property owners throughout NYC when dealing with water main and sewer problems.
There are two categories that affect the replacement cost for a water and sewer line replacement. The first involves technical issues that are pretty basic and easy to understand:
- Length of the water line or sewer line run.
- The size of the water and sewer service line (material replacement cost).
- Which side of the street the NYC water main is on (typically a city water main is 8′ out from the curb line of one side of the roadway).
- The depth of the sewer line as it exists the property and point of connection to the public NYC sewer.
- The amount of cement and roadway restoration required to restore areas disturbed during the water line replacement or sewer line replacement.
- NYC DEP and NYC DOT permits fees add to the cost, but are a small fraction of the overall price for water and sewer work.

Sewer Lining And Trenchless House Sewer Line Replacement
An important issue to always keep in mind in NYC
for a sewer line replacement is that both the NYC Department of Buildings and the NYC Department of Environmental Protection expressly state that sewer liners and trenchless house sewers are illegal in NYC. Sewer liners do not fix a dislodged, backpitched, or crushed sewer line. Sewer liners are meant as rehabilitation for a properly functioning public sewer line, not as a means to perform a house sewer line replacement. In addition sewer liners frequently cost more than the typical and legal house sewer line replacement cost.
