The pipes running underground—your sewer lateral and water main—are the backbone of your home’s plumbing. When they fail, everything fails: multiple drains back up, water pressure drops, or worse, sewage surfaces in your yard or basement.

Lausier Brothers provides complete sewer and water main services throughout Salem, Beverly, Peabody, and the North Shore. We use HD camera inspection to diagnose problems accurately before recommending repairs—no guesswork, no unnecessary digging.

Sewer Camera Inspection

We don’t guess about sewer problems. Our HD camera lets us see roots, cracks, bellies, offsets, and collapses in real-time. You see what we see.

Camera inspection is also valuable for home buyers. If you’re purchasing a home in Marblehead, Swampscott, or other historic North Shore communities, a pre-purchase sewer scope can reveal problems home inspections miss.

Sewer & Water Main Frequently Asked Questions

How much does sewer line repair cost?

It varies but spot repairs range between: $1,500-$4,000. Full replacement: $5,000-$15,000+ depending on length, depth, and accessibility. We provide detailed estimates after camera inspection.

Am I responsible for the pipe under the street?

In most Massachusetts communities, homeowners are responsible for the entire sewer lateral from house to municipal main—including the portion under public property. Confirm with your local DPW.
