The expense incurred in replacing a sewer line in Los Angeles can vary quite a bit owing to several factors, including—but not limited to—the length and depth of the run, the job's inherent complexity, the types of materials used, and local labor rates. As a rule of thumb, homeowners could expect to shell out anywhere from $3,000 to $15,000 for what you might call a standard replacement. If the sewer line replacement is of a complicated nature, involving hard-to-reach places, extensive digging, or fancy materials, the cost might run quite a bit higher. The main thing, really, is to get multiple quotes from licensed, experienced contractors to hone in better on your specific situation and its likely costs.
In the city where I live, Los Angeles, if a sewer line needs replacing, the property owner served by that line is usually the one who has to pay for the replacement. A sewer line doesn't run down the street in front of my house, so I'm not responsible for the portions of sewer lines that are between my house and the street. But I am responsible for the sewer line that runs from my house to the line that would be just across the boundary of my property. Like most of my neighbors, I treat the sewer line as our responsibility, but the specifics of sewer line costs and replacements can vary widely, even from one neighbor to the next.
Replacing sewer lines in Los Angeles is costly for a number of reasons. Labor and materials are just plain expensive in big cities, and Los Angeles is no exception. Using anything much short of a jackhammer—that is, surgical, high-end equipment—in the public-right-of-way to access pipes that are thousands of feet long and laid several feet deep is also a significant factor in the expense. Obtaining replacement materials permits and meeting all sorts of local compliance criteria—that is, going to the people who run the asinine local regulatory obstacle course—adds greatly to the cost. As does, by the way, finding and bluntly dealing with the tree roots that can and do get into the sewer line.
In Los Angeles, a homeowner can replace a sewer line, but it usually means obtaining city permits. Homeowners must comply with local laws and building codes. Replacement is often complex and may necessitate digging, which calls for specialized gear and know-how. Some homeowners might attempt the work if they have the skills, but most are better off hiring a licensed, experienced plumbing contractor to avoid the kind of slip-ups that can lead to big headaches and even bigger bills.
Normal wear and tear isn't covered by homeowners insurance for sewer line replacement. Most standard policies exclude coverage for types of damage that occur over time, like aging, tree roots that intrude into the line, or corroded pipes. But if the damaged caused to the sewer line is sudden and not expected, and if it's the direct result of a done-for-type hazard (like a fire, tornado, or earth movement), then the policy should cover the necessary repairs — but only if the line is within the specified plumbing portion of the house.
Pipe bursting and trenchless repair methods are the least expensive options for replacing a sewer line in Los Angeles. These methods are not quite as invasive as traditional trenching, which means they require much less digging and restoration work. As a result, they cut down on costs. Of course, you may also obtain multiple bids from reputable contractors, a practice that is likely to net you some savings. Sewer repairs done in the off-season—you know, when it’s not raining and when the ground isn’t frozen—will also cost you less. And whatever method you choose, always ensure that it’s done to the letter of local building codes and regulations.
Sewer line replacement is typically not covered by AAA homeowners insurance. Most standard homeowners insurance policies, including those from AAA, cover only certain kinds of damage. They exclude mold and other damage that happens gradually. Your pipe could have been damaged by tree roots or some other sudden event and still be covered. However, your insurance might not cover damage that is not sudden, that is, not covered by a specific peril. If you have AAA homeowners insurance, read the policy carefully, and talk to your agent to clarify what's covered—and what your options are for paying for sewer line replacement in the future.
In Los Angeles, sewer lines generally have a lifespan of 50 to 100 years. The sewer line's life depends on the material used to construct it and the nearby environmental conditions. For instance, pipes made of cast iron or clay closer to 50 years in life experience issues like corrosion and failure. However, pipes made of PVC or other modern materials can last up to 100 years and more. Regular maintenance of sewer pipes and line-related structures also ensures a much longer life for sewer lines.
The costs for insuring sewer lines can differ based on several factors. These include how much of the sewer line you want covered, the age and condition of your home, and which insurance company you’re working with. If you live in Los Angeles, for instance, you might pay anywhere from $5 to $15 a month. That’s $60 to $180 a year. And even those figures might be low. Averages for California hit much higher, around $200 annually. Still, you should definitely shop around.
Generally, homeowners insurance does not cover the replacement of sewer lines that have failed due to wear and tear or have been damaged by the roots of trees.
