Cotton City Plumbing completed sewer line replacement in Arnett Benson, Lubbock, TX.
Cotton City PlumbingWhen a sewer line is beyond repair — collapsed, severely root-damaged, corroded through, or offset at the joints — replacement is the only permanent solution. Cotton City Plumbing performs complete sewer line replacement for Lubbock homeowners and businesses, using both traditional open-cut excavation and trenchless pipe bursting methods depending on the condition and location of the existing line. Lubbock's older neighborhoods present some of the most challenging sewer line conditions in West Texas. Homes built before 1980 in areas like Tech Terrace, Maxey Park, South Overton, and Coronado Hills often have original clay tile or cast iron sewer lines that are now 50–70 years old. These materials are highly susceptible to root intrusion through the bell-and-spigot joints, corrosion from hydrogen sulfide gas, and structural failure from soil movement caused by Lubbock's expansive clay soils. When camera inspection reveals a line that's more than 50% compromised, replacement is almost always more cost-effective than repeated repairs. We begin every sewer line replacement with a full camera inspection to map the existing line, identify all failure points, and determine the best replacement method. We then provide a detailed, upfront estimate before any excavation begins. Our crews are experienced with the specific soil conditions, utility conflicts, and permitting requirements of Lubbock and surrounding communities. We pull all required permits, coordinate with the city for inspections, and restore your yard to its pre-work condition after the job is complete. Cotton City Plumbing is a locally owned, faith-based company licensed under Master Plumber M-44446. We serve all of Lubbock and surrounding West Texas communities including Wolfforth, Shallowater, Idalou, Slaton, and Levelland.
We excavate along the existing line, remove the failed pipe, and install new Schedule 40 PVC sewer line to current code. Open-cut is the most thorough method and allows us to inspect and correct any grade issues that may have contributed to the original failure.
Where excavation would damage landscaping, driveways, or hardscape, pipe bursting allows us to replace the sewer line with minimal surface disruption. A bursting head is pulled through the existing pipe, fracturing it outward while simultaneously pulling new HDPE pipe into place.
When only a section of the line has failed, we can replace just the damaged segment rather than the entire run. Camera inspection determines the exact extent of the failure so we excavate only what's necessary.
Many older Lubbock homes lack a proper main line cleanout, making future maintenance difficult. We install a two-way cleanout at the property line as part of every sewer line replacement — required by current code and essential for future camera inspections and hydro-jetting.
Tree roots are the most common cause of sewer line failure in Lubbock's established neighborhoods. When roots have compromised more than 50% of the pipe's cross-section or caused structural collapse, replacement is more cost-effective than repeated root cutting.
Adding a bathroom, finishing a basement, or building an addition often requires upgrading the existing sewer line to handle increased flow. We assess the current line capacity and replace or upsize as needed to support your project.
We run a camera through the full length of the sewer line to map its path, identify all failure points, and determine the best replacement method. We show you the footage and explain exactly what we found.
Based on the camera inspection, we provide a detailed, flat-rate estimate covering excavation, pipe materials, permits, backfill, and yard restoration. No surprises when the job is done.
We pull the required city permit and call 811 to have all underground utilities marked before any digging begins. This protects your gas, electric, water, and cable lines.
We excavate to the existing line, remove the failed pipe, and install new Schedule 40 PVC (or HDPE for trenchless) to current code with proper grade and cleanout access.
We schedule the required city inspection, pass it, and then backfill the trench in lifts to prevent settling. We restore your yard, driveway, or landscaping to pre-work condition.
