What moves the number
Length of the lateral
Tract homes in the valley typically have 40–80 ft from the house to the main; deep lots and homes set far back from the street have more.
What sits on top
Lawn is the cheapest to dig and restore. Driveways, patios and walkways add saw-cutting and new concrete, which is where trenchless often wins.
Depth
Most laterals here run 2–6 ft deep. Deeper lines need wider trenches or shoring and longer bursting pits.
The street section
Work under the street needs right-of-way permits, traffic control and pavement restoration, which is why it is priced on its own line.
Access
No cleanout, a line under the house, or a narrow side yard that equipment cannot pass all add time.
Comparing written prices fairly
Two prices compare only when they describe the same job: the same method, the same length from the same start and end points, the same pipe material and size, the same cleanouts, the same restoration and whether the street section is included. A written price that names each of those and attaches the camera video is one that can be checked against another.
Asking every contractor to price from the same camera video is the simplest way to line the numbers up.
