Sewer Replacement Service in Ridgefield, Washington

At Proline Plumbing & Sewer we provide professional sewer replacement services and solutions for deteriorating, damaged, or undersized sewer lines that can no longer be effectively repaired. Our team utilizes both traditional excavation and modern trenchless solutions to install new piping systems that restore proper wastewater flow while preventing property damage and environmental contamination. These infrastructure improvements address failing clay, cast iron, or deteriorated plastic pipes with modern materials and installation techniques that provide decades of reliable service while meeting current building codes and environmental regulations.

Sewer Replacement Overview

The sewer replacement process begins with diagnostic evaluations using video inspections, locating equipment, and flow testing. Our technicians assess pipe condition, size, and routing to design a plan that improves on the original installation while minimizing disruption to landscaping, driveways, and structures.

Materials & Sizing

Proper sizing ensures future capacity while avoiding backups or sluggish flow. Codes and standards guide pipe diameter, slope, and installation.

Installation & Connections

• Grade – Laser levels ensure correct slope (typically 1–2% for residential).
• Connections – Methods include solvent welding (PVC), heat fusion (HDPE), or mechanical couplings.
• Cleanouts – Installed at direction changes and property lines for future maintenance access.

Backfilling & Restoration

Careful backfill prevents pipe damage and settling. After installation, surfaces are restored with concrete, asphalt, landscaping, or irrigation repair to return properties to pre-construction condition.

Testing & Inspection

Before completion, systems are tested for leaks, slope accuracy, and joint integrity. Video inspections and water/mandrel testing confirm long-term performance.

Compliance & Permitting

Our team of Licensed Plumbers handles permits, coordinates inspections, and meets local municipal code requirements. Work often requires city or health department approval before final sign-off.

Emergency Sewer Replacement Services

At Proline Plumbing & Sewer our rapid-response crews are available for collapsed pipes, severe blockages, or sudden failures 24-hours a day, 365 days a year. If a full replacement is not an option at the time, temporary bypass pumping and expedited permits can also help protect the property from any secondary damage until a more long-term solution is able to be furnished.

Cost & Warranty

Pricing depends on pipe length, depth, surface restoration, and method used. Detailed estimates outline options and long-term value. Warranties cover workmanship and materials, with extended protection often available for trenchless installs. Contact Us Today to Schedule Your Quote with a member from our friendly team!

Different Sewer Line Replacement Methods

• Traditional Excavation – Used for severely damaged lines or where major grade adjustments are needed. Specialized equipment and safety systems protect workers, utilities, and property during digging.
• Trenchless Technologies – Less invasive methods like:
  • Pipe Bursting – Breaks old pipes while pulling in new HDPE pipe through small access pits.
  • CIPP (Cured-in-Place Pipe) Lining – Creates a new pipe within the existing one using resin-saturated tubes.
• Slip Lining & Other Methods – Smaller-diameter pipes or coatings may be used depending on conditions.
• PVC – Durable and smooth for residential use.
• HDPE – Flexible, fusion-welded joints ideal for trenchless methods.
• Specialized Options – Available for industrial or high-temp applications.
