How much does sewer line repair cost in Greeley?
Most sewer line repairs in the Greeley area run about $950 to $4,450. Smaller jobs, like clearing a clog or roots, often cost a few hundred dollars. A full new line costs more, and typical Greeley replacement quotes run up to about $6,500. Your real price depends on what the camera finds, how deep the pipe is and what sits on top of it.
Start at the top of this list. Most homeowners never need the bottom rows.
Job | Typical 2026 range |
|---|---|
Sewer camera inspection | $175 to $350 |
Clearing a main line clog | $125 to $315 |
Hydro jetting the line | $300 to $600 |
Root removal | $125 to $1,250 |
Spot repair of one cracked section | $600 to $1,050 |
Lining the pipe (no dig) | $1,900 to $6,000 |
Full sewer line replacement, most jobs | Typically up to about $6,500 |
What the camera finds decides the cost
The fastest way to know your price is to see inside the pipe. Here’s how common camera findings usually line up with the fix and its cost:
What the camera shows | Usual fix | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
A clog or buildup, pipe in good shape | Clearing or jetting | $125 to $600 |
Roots at a joint, pipe still round | Root removal, then a follow-up check | $125 to $1,250 |
One crack or one bad joint | A spot repair | $600 to $1,050, more if deep |
Cracks or root entry along much of the line, pipe still holds its shape | Lining the line | $1,900 to $6,000 |
A collapse, or damage along most of the line | A new line | Typically up to about $6,500 |
Ask to see the footage and the distance to each problem. If the damage is in one spot, a spot repair is often enough.
Sewer line replacement cost in Greeley, per foot and per job
If the whole line has to go, crews usually price it by the foot or as one total job. These are typical 2026 ranges:
Method | Typical 2026 price |
|---|---|
Digging a trench (open cut) | $50 to $250 per foot |
Pipe lining (CIPP) | $135 to $150 per foot |
Pipe bursting | $150 to $190 per foot |
Full replacement, most jobs | Typically up to about $6,500 |
Full replacement, smaller jobs | Can start under $1,000 |
The per-foot price covers the pipe and the labor. It may not cover the permit, a new cleanout or putting your yard back, so ask what’s included. Your Greeley sewer replacement cost depends most on length, depth and what has to be rebuilt. Our sewer line replacement page explains how the job runs, step by step.
Is trenchless cheaper than digging?
Sometimes, but not always. On paper, digging a trench can cost less per foot. The difference is what has to be rebuilt afterward.
Ask for both methods priced side by side, with restoration included, so you’re comparing the full cost.
What moves your quote up or down
Two quotes for the same job can be far apart. These are the things that change the number:
Example: the same 4-foot repair can cost very different amounts. Under open lawn and 3 feet down, it’s a small dig. Under a driveway and 7 feet down, the crew has to cut concrete, dig deeper and pour new concrete after.
How much is a sewer camera inspection in Greeley?
A sewer camera inspection usually costs $175 to $350. It’s the best money you’ll spend before a big repair, because it shows what’s really wrong and where.
Ask two things before you book:
Other costs to plan for
Besides the repair itself, a few items can show up on the bill:
Item | Typical 2026 range |
|---|---|
Permits, inspections and fees | $400 to $1,000 |
One-way cleanout installation | $650 to $2,000 |
Two-way cleanout installation | $1,000 to $3,500 |
Restoration is the other big one. Ask exactly what gets put back: grass, sprinklers, driveway or sidewalk concrete.
Got a quote and not sure it’s fair?
Ask a local sewer pro to look at the footage and price the same job, line by line.
What a good sewer quote includes
A clear quote lets you compare one company with another. Check that yours lists:
Then ask the most important question: when could this price change? A second break, rock or a deeper pipe than expected can raise the cost. A good contractor tells you that up front, in writing. If the price is large and nobody has shown you the footage, a second opinion is normal.
Who pays: you or the City?
In Greeley, the homeowner is responsible for the sewer service line from the house to the City main. The City maintains the public sewer main. So repair costs on your side of the main are usually yours. A camera inspection shows where the problem sits before you pay for any work. Our homeowner section on who pays explains the split.
Does homeowners insurance cover sewer line repair?
Usually not under a standard policy. Colorado’s Division of Insurance describes a separate service line endorsement that covers damaged utility lines on your property, including the sewer pipe. A water backup endorsement is different. It covers damage to your home from a sewer or drain backup, not the pipe itself.
Before work starts, call your agent and ask:
Paying for a big sewer job
