Sewer Line Replacement for a Fresh, Reliable Start
When a sewer line is old, cracked or full of roots all the way down, replacement is the lasting fix. We replace residential and commercial sewer lines in Nashville with new pipe, proper grade and cleanouts.

Sewer Line Replacement, Done Right
We expose the old line, remove it and lay new PVC to a steady slope on a bed of gravel, with cleanouts at the right places and clean connections at the house and the main. We check the grade with lasers before we backfill.
On tight lots, we plan the route to protect trees, driveways and foundations, and we tell you plainly when the best path is under a driveway or a patio.
Music City Excavation brings sewer line replacement to homes, farms and businesses in Nashville and across 16 Middle Tennessee cities.

The Music City Excavation Experience
How We Work
Tell Us About Your Project
Call 615-357-7797 or send the form. Tell us what is going on with your land, your house or your plans.
Walk the Site and Plan
We visit, look at the soil, the slope, the access and the water, and give you a clear, free estimate with options.
Mark, Permit and Prepare
We have underground utilities located, help with the permits and erosion control your project needs and plan where the dirt goes.
Dig, Build and Clean Up
Our crew does the work, keeps the site safe and tidy, restores what we disturb and walks the finished job with you.
How long does a sewer line replacement take?
Many residential replacements take a few days once locates and permits are in place. The length, depth and access change that.
Can the line be replaced without digging?
Some situations allow trenchless methods, and some do not. We look at the pipe and the site and talk through the options that fit.
Who pays for the city connection?
That depends on where the line is and local rules. We help you find out where your responsibility starts and stops.
