In detail
Sewer Line Repair in Nicholasville, Lexington & central Kentucky
Diagnosis before digging
We locate the problem and figure out whether you need a spot repair, a partial replacement or a new line — and we show you what we found. Nobody should pay for a full replacement to fix a single cracked joint, and nobody should pay for a spot repair on a pipe that's failing end to end.
Repair and replacement done right
New lines go in with Schedule 40 PVC on a proper bed and grade, with cleanouts where they'll actually be useful. We protect what we can — driveways, walkways, landscaping — and put the yard back as close to how we found it as possible. The photos on this page are real jobs, not stock images.
Sewer taps and permits in Lexington and Nicholasville
New sewer connections and most repairs need permits and inspections — Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government (Division of Water Quality) for Lexington, the city for Nicholasville, and the state plumbing inspector on top. We handle that paperwork routinely, so the job isn't sitting around waiting on approvals.
Older homes, clay and cast iron
Homes built before the 1980s across Fayette, Jessamine and Woodford County often still run on clay tile or cast iron sewer. Both invite roots and both eventually collapse. If yours keeps clogging, it's usually a sign of what's coming — we'll give you a straight assessment rather than clearing it every six months.

Questions
Common questions
- How much does a sewer line replacement cost?
- It depends on depth, length and what's in the way (driveways, trees, utilities). We give you a firm written price after we look — never a number over the phone that changes later.
- Will you have to dig up my whole yard?
- Usually not. Most repairs are a single trench along the line. We'll show you exactly where before any digging starts.
- Do you replace the whole line or just the bad section?
- Whichever actually solves the problem. We show you what we found so you can see the reason behind the recommendation.
- Do I need a permit for sewer work?
- In almost every case, yes — from the state and, in Lexington, from LFUCG Water Quality. We handle it.
