Cost of replacing sewer line

[Rudy Manna]

How much does it cost dig up and replace sewer line?

Sewer was backing up in one of my rental units and I called in one emergency plumbing services. The guy cleaned up the line but tells me that he scoped out and found part of the pipes is original and broken and need to be replaced. He will need to dig up 6 feet and replace 20 linear feet and gave a bid of 15,000 plus tax. I am going to take more bids, but wanted to hear how much people pay? This is in Tacoma, Washington.

The City of Tacoma also offers a low to no interest side sewer replacement loan program.
