Sewer Lateral Repair – Oconomowoc, WI

A homeowner in Oconomowoc, WI needed a sewer lateral repair to resolve issues with an aging section of the property’s sewer line and restore dependable wastewater flow. After a thorough assessment of the existing plumbing system, we determined that replacing the deteriorated pipe was the most reliable long-term solution.

Our team carefully excavated the work area beneath the basement stairs and removed approximately 10 feet of worn 4-inch cast iron sewer pipe. Using a trenching machine, we efficiently completed the excavation while maintaining the proper depth and slope required for optimal drainage. We then installed new 4-inch Schedule 40 PVC piping, providing a durable, corrosion-resistant sewer line designed to deliver years of dependable performance.

As part of the sewer lateral replacement, we installed a new exterior cleanout approximately two feet from the home’s foundation. This cleanout offers convenient access for future inspections, drain cleaning, and maintenance, helping reduce the time and cost of any future service. After installing the new piping, we securely reconnected the sewer line to the existing septic system, ensuring all connections were properly aligned and tested for reliable operation.

Once the installation was complete, we confirmed that the new sewer lateral was draining properly and restored the work area. This sewer lateral repair and sewer line replacement in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin provided the homeowner with a long-lasting, code-compliant plumbing solution that improves system reliability, enhances drainage performance, and helps prevent future sewer line problems.
