Home » Plumbing Services » Sewer Line Repair & Replacement
Sewer line problems have a way of announcing themselves at the worst possible time. The floor drain that starts backing up sewage during a dinner party. The yard that develops a soggy, inexplicably green patch in the middle of summer. The smell that shows up inside the house and won’t go away no matter what gets cleaned. In Erlanger, Florence, and across the older neighborhoods of Northern Kentucky, these situations aren’t unusual, they’re predictable. The clay tile and cast iron sewer laterals that run under the yards of homes built between the 1940s and 1980s throughout Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties were never designed to last indefinitely, and the combination of NKY’s clay-heavy shifting soil, hard limestone water, and freeze-thaw cycles has been working against them for decades.

We diagnose accurately with camera inspection before recommending any repair scope, and we offer both traditional and trenchless repair methods depending on what your specific situation calls for.

If your home was built before 1980 and the sewer lateral has never been inspected, a camera inspection is the most informed investment you can make before a problem forces the conversation.
When sewer line damage qualifies, Arlinghaus uses trenchless repair methods that restore the line without full excavation, such as preserving driveways, landscaping, and mature plantings. The two primary methods are pipe bursting and CIPP lining. Camera inspection determines which approach is right for your specific line condition. For full detail on how each method works, explore our trenchless sewer repair services.
Before recommending any repair or replacement scope, Arlinghaus performs a video camera inspection to see exactly what’s happening inside the line. Camera inspection is also valuable for NKY homeowners purchasing an older home, as knowing the condition of the sewer lateral before closing can change a purchase decision or a negotiating position.
New sewer line installation is needed for new construction, homes where the existing lateral has failed beyond repair, and additions requiring a new municipal connection. Arlinghaus handles sewer line installation throughout Northern Kentucky, fully permitted and inspected per Kenton County, Boone County, and local municipality requirements.
Don’t wait on a sewer problem. Call Arlinghaus now or book online for sewer line repair, replacement, and installation throughout Erlanger, Florence, and all of Northern Kentucky, 24 hours a day.
