Sewer Line Replacement: What Homeowners Should Expect | Ascension Projects

For many homeowners, the words “sewer line replacement” spark anxiety—and for good reason. It’s one of the most significant repairs you might face. But with the right contractor, the process can be manageable, efficient, and stress-free.

At Ascension Projects, we specialize in sewer line replacement across Indianapolis, Carmel, Noblesville, and Greenwood, and we want you to know exactly what to expect.

Step 1: Inspection & Diagnosis

We begin with a camera inspection to assess the exact condition of your line. This helps determine whether you need:

• Spot repairs
• Trenchless replacement
• Or full excavation

Step 2: Permitting & Planning

Sewer replacement often requires city permits and inspections, especially in Indianapolis. As licensed contractors, we handle the paperwork and ensure your project meets code.

Step 3: Replacement Methods

There are two main approaches:

• Traditional Excavation – The old pipe is dug up and replaced. This provides full access but requires yard restoration afterward.
• Trenchless Replacement – Using techniques like pipe bursting or cured-in-place lining (CIPP), we replace or reline the pipe without major digging.

Step 4: Completion & Inspection

Once installed, the new line is tested and inspected to guarantee functionality. Our crew then restores any affected landscaping, driveways, or sidewalks.

How Long Does It Take?

Most sewer replacements take 2–5 days, depending on complexity. Trenchless methods can sometimes be completed in just one day.

Protecting Your Property Value

A new sewer line is more than a repair—it’s an investment in your property. Buyers in Noblesville and Carmel often see it as a selling point, knowing they won’t face hidden plumbing issues.
