Expert Sewer Line Repair and Replacement in Massachusetts
A functioning sewer line is critical to the health and safety of your home or business, but it’s something most people don’t think about until there’s a serious problem. Foul odors, slow drains, or unexpected sewage backups are stressful signs that your main drain is compromised. Since 1989, N.E.T.R., Inc. has been the trusted expert for solving complex plumbing and drain issues for property owners throughout the Boston area and across Massachusetts.
Our certified technicians use advanced diagnostic tools and proven repair methods to resolve your sewer line problems efficiently and effectively, protecting your property and restoring your peace of mind.
Signs You Need Professional Sewer Line Service
A blocked or broken sewer line can cause significant damage if ignored. Contact a professional immediately if you notice any of these warning signs:
- Frequent Backups: Multiple drains, toilets, or tubs backing up simultaneously is a classic sign of a main sewer line clog.
- Slow Drains: If all the drains in your property are draining slower than usual, the problem likely lies in the sewer line.
- Foul Odors: The smell of sewage in or around your property indicates a crack or break in the line.
- Unusual Sounds: Gurgling noises from your toilets or drains often mean that air is trapped in the plumbing system by a blockage.
- Lush Patches in Yard: A suspiciously green and lush patch of grass in your yard, even during dry weather, can be caused by a leaking sewer line fertilizing the area.
- Foundation Issues: In severe cases, a long-term, untreated sewer line leak can erode soil and lead to foundation cracks or settlement.
Our Comprehensive Sewer Line Solutions
At N.E.T.R., Inc., we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We begin with a thorough diagnosis to pinpoint the exact cause and location of the problem, ensuring we recommend the most effective and least invasive repair possible.
Sewer Camera Inspections
To eliminate guesswork, we utilize state-of-the-art waterproof cameras to inspect the inside of your sewer line. This allows us to see the real-time condition of your pipes and identify the exact nature of the problem, whether it’s tree root intrusion, cracks, corrosion, or a severe blockage.
Traditional Sewer Line Services
In cases where trenchless methods are not feasible due to the specific type of damage or pipe configuration, our expert team is fully equipped to perform traditional sewer line repair and replacement. We handle everything from excavation to final restoration with the utmost professionalism and care for your property.
Trenchless Sewer Line Repair & Replacement
For many homes, we recommend trenchless sewer line replacement, a modern technique that avoids destructive and costly excavation of your yard, driveway, or landscaping. Benefits of this method include:
- Minimal Disruption: We can often replace your entire sewer line with only a few small access points.
- Faster Completion: The process is significantly faster than traditional excavation, often completed in just one day.
- Durable Materials: The new pipe materials are highly resistant to roots, cracks, and corrosion, ensuring a long-lasting solution.
- Cost-Effective: By saving your landscaping and avoiding extensive labor, trenchless methods can be more affordable than you think.

Common Causes of Sewer Line Failure in New England
Homes and businesses in Massachusetts face unique challenges that can impact sewer lines. Common causes we encounter include:
- Tree Root Intrusion: Roots seek out water sources and can force their way into pipe joints and cracks, causing blockages and breaks.
- Aging Pipes: Older homes with cast iron or clay pipes are susceptible to corrosion, rust, and eventual collapse.
- Shifting Soil: The freeze-thaw cycles common in New England winters can cause the ground to shift, leading to misaligned or cracked pipes.
- Severe Blockages: Years of grease, debris, and other improper disposals can create blockages that strain and damage the pipe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sewer Line Service FAQs
Have more questions about your home’s sewer line? We’ve compiled answers to some of the most common inquiries to help you stay informed.
How do I know if my sewer line needs replacement instead of a repair?
Choose replacement when a camera inspection shows collapsed sections, severe cracking, major offsets, or extensive root intrusion, or when you have recurring backups even after professional clearing. Older materials like clay or Orangeburg that fail repeatedly are also strong indicators. NETR will show you video evidence and review repair vs replacement options.
How long does sewer line repair or replacement take?
Most camera inspections take 60 to 90 minutes. Many trenchless repairs are completed in one day once permits are in place. Open-trench replacements can take 2 to 5 days depending on length, depth, and site conditions. We give you a timeline after the initial assessment.
How much does sewer line service cost in New England?
Costs vary by pipe length, depth, access, and method. Typical ranges: camera inspection $250–$600, mainline clearing $250–$600, trenchless lining or bursting often $120–$250 per foot, and full replacement can be $5,000–$20,000 or more. After we inspect the line, you receive clear, upfront pricing and financing options for larger projects.
What can I do to prevent future sewer line problems?
Flush only toilet paper. Keep wipes, hygiene products, and paper towels out of the system.
Keep grease, oils, and coffee grounds out of kitchen drains.
Install strainers on sinks and showers.
If you have trees near the line, consider root barriers and schedule periodic camera checks.
For homes with older clay or cast-iron piping, plan preventive cleaning every 12 to 24 months.
Is a damaged sewer line dangerous to my home?
Yes. A broken or leaking line can allow wastewater to back up into fixtures, create health risks, damage flooring and walls, and cause soil erosion around the foundation. If you notice sewage odors, frequent backups, or soggy areas in the yard, limit water use and contact NETR for an inspection.
