Sewer & Drain Repair services & cost guide for DuPage County, IL
Sewer pricing depends on what's actually wrong and where. A camera inspection is the cheapest way to avoid paying for the wrong fix.
| Service | Typical range (estimate) | What drives the price |
|---|---|---|
| Main line rodding / snaking | ~$150–$400 (estimate) | Access to cleanout, after-hours, length |
| Hydro-jetting | ~$350–$800 (estimate) | Line length, root/grease severity |
| Sewer camera inspection | ~$150–$400 (estimate) | Often discounted with rodding; ask for the video |
| Spot repair (excavated) | ~$2,000–$6,000 (estimate) | Depth, location (yard vs. parkway), permits, restoration |
| Trenchless lining (lateral) | ~$5,000–$15,000 (estimate) | Length, number of bends, pipe condition |
| Full lateral replacement | ~$8,000–$25,000+ (estimate) | Depth, street/parkway work, village permit and restoration |
| Overhead sewer conversion | ~$8,000–$15,000+ (estimate) | Basement layout, ejector pit; village cost-share may apply |
These are estimates, not quotes. Ranges are rough estimates from public cost guides for the Chicago suburbs; they are not quotes. Village permit fees and street/parkway restoration can add significantly. Ask any contractor for a written, itemized quote before work starts.
Comparing sewer quotes
- Ask for the camera video and the footage marker where the problem is.
- Confirm the plumber's Illinois plumbing license.
- Ask whether the quote includes the permit, parkway/street restoration and a final inspection.
- Ask your village about cost-share programs before you sign.
