Serving Naples

Most Naples jobs land between $600 and $17,000 depending on scope. A camera inspection runs $189 to $349, a sectional spot repair runs $600 to $2,500, and full trenchless lining or pipe bursting typically runs $8,000 to $17,000 or more, with a 2,000 square foot home often landing near $17,000 for full epoxy lining. Traditional open-trench replacement can run $12,000 to $75,000, with under-slab jobs reaching $50,000 to $75,000. Those are typical 2026 figures; your written estimate comes from the camera findings, not from a price list.

Most trenchless jobs finish in one to two days. A standard CIPP lining or pipe bursting project takes a day for access and cleaning, then a day for installation and curing, with the resin setting in a few hours. Larger or deeper lines can stretch to three days, and open-trench replacements take longer because of excavation and restoration. Your estimate includes the schedule before you approve anything, and most homes stay usable while the work runs.

Usually not. Trenchless methods repair the line through small access pits, so the lawn, driveway and landscaping stay intact. Digging becomes necessary only when the pipe has collapsed flat, lost its grade, or sits under a slab section that lining cannot reach. The camera inspection shows which category your line falls into before you commit. When we do dig, it is a targeted excavation at the exact mark, not a trench across the property.

Cast iron laterals under slab are the biggest driver. Many pre-1972 Collier County homes still run original cast iron, which rusts from the bottom, cracks with serrated edges, and catches debris until backups repeat. Rain season, roughly June through November, saturates the sandy soil and shifts joints apart, and roots from tropical landscaping hunt the moisture inside old joints. Clay and Orangeburg lines from the same era crush or deform on their own schedule.

Book a camera inspection when backups repeat, drains gurgle across multiple fixtures, sewage odors linger, or one lawn patch stays soggy. The camera gives a yes-or-no read on the pipe: roots, cracks, bellies and breaks all show on video, and the technician marks depth and location on the ground. If the line is sound, you pay only for the inspection. If it is not, the footage becomes the repair plan, and you approve the fix with full information.
