Warning Signs
Repeated backups, sewage odors, wet or unusually green ground, slow drains throughout the home, gurgling fixtures, and sinkholes near a line can warrant investigation. These signs do not prove that replacement is needed, because interior drains and other problems can produce similar symptoms.
Investigation Before Work
A provider may discuss camera inspection, locating the line, identifying the damaged section, checking cleanouts, and determining whether roots, collapse, corrosion, or shifting caused the issue. The condition and ownership of the affected section may also matter.

Cost factors
Pricing depends on the specific scope, conditions, materials/equipment, access, timing and provider terms. Call with the details you know so the appropriate next step can be discussed.
Replacement Decisions
Compare replacement with spot repair, lining, or another suitable method where available. Access, depth, landscaping, paving, connections, soil conditions, permits, and restoration can affect the scope. Ask how the proposed method addresses the underlying failure and what areas will be disturbed.
