There isn’t one price for sewer lining. It depends on how long your line is, what shape it’s in, how easy it is to reach, and what’s included in the quote. That’s why lining is quoted after a camera inspection, which typically costs about $285 to $360 in Alberta. Since insurance typically won’t pay for your line, it pays to understand what drives the number.

Start with the camera

A camera inspection shows what you’re actually paying to fix. A standalone sewer camera inspection typically costs about $285 to $360 in Alberta, based on HomeStars’ Calgary price guide. It costs more if access is difficult or the line is unusually long. See sewer camera inspection.

What affects the price of the repair

Length of the line. Lining suits long lines, 100 feet or more.
Condition. Heavy roots or collapsed sections add work, or may rule lining out.
Connections. Lines with multiple connections may not suit lining.
Slope. Lines with a belly or slope problem need excavation, which is a different job and a different price.
Season. In Edmonton, lining is best done in warmer months so the epoxy cures properly.
Access. Where the cleanout is, and what’s on top of the line, like a driveway, deck or trees.
Extras. A backwater valve, new cleanouts, or restoring surfaces.

Questions to ask every company

Did you camera the line? Can I see the video?
How many feet are you lining, and from where to where?
What’s included? Cleaning, the liner, reinstating connections, a final camera run.
Why lining rather than pipe bursting or replacement for my line?
What happens if it fails, and is that in writing?

Quotes for the same job can vary between companies. Comparing them line by line is the best way to see why.

Who pays

In Edmonton, homeowners are responsible for sewer lines on their property. EPCOR handles the property line to the main, and won’t reimburse plumbers’ fees. Repairs on your property aren’t typically covered by basic homeowner’s insurance. See who pays for your sewer line.
