Before You Call

Sewer Line Repair: Common Questions

Should I get a camera inspection first?

Always, for anything beyond a simple clog. $150–$500, often credited toward repairs, and it turns a five-figure guess into an evidence-based decision. Get the footage itself, not a verbal summary.

Who pays if the break is under the street?

In most wet-side jurisdictions, including Seattle: you. Homeowners own the full side sewer to the main. It surprises everyone — check our sewer cost guide before you're quoted.

How do I check a company's license?

Ask for their Washington L&I contractor number and verify it at secure.lni.wa.gov/verify — active license, bond, and insurance. Listings above with a green badge are ones we've already matched to an active license in state records.
