Has anyone here had to deal with a broken sewer line in Seattle? I’m currently researching different repair options, but I’m unsure whether to go with a traditional dig method or a trenchless solution. Would love to hear about costs, timelines, and which method actually lasts longer.

From my own experience, a lot depends on the condition of the pipes and the soil around your property. In older parts of Seattle, clay pipes and shifting ground often cause cracks and blockages. If the damage is extensive, excavation may be unavoidable, but if the line can be restored, trenchless can save a lot of hassle. For traditional excavation and full-service support, one good resource is https://bens.plumbing/services/sewer-line-repair-seattle/. They provide details on costs, repair strategies, and service areas, which can help in making a more informed choice. Some homeowners prefer the peace of mind of having the entire line replaced through excavation, but keep in mind it can involve digging up the yard, driveways, or sidewalks. On the other hand, newer trenchless methods are less invasive and sometimes faster. Comparing both options is key before committing.
Good topic. Sewer issues in Seattle are pretty common due to older infrastructure. Curious to see if people here recommend the standard excavation method or something less invasive like trenchless.
