"We had an exterior water main break. The entire interaction was top notch. Easy to contact and schedule for free estimate. Knowledgeable technicians. Answered all questions promptly. I always think plumbing costs are really too high this the 3.5 stars for value. But they were reasonable comparatively speaking. The job was performed promptly and professionally. Skilled techs. It was clear they knew what they were doing and were #1 professionals. Overall pleased. Hopefully replacement will last. Decent warranty if not."

"The technician from Prime Plumbing did a superb job of replacing copper water lines on my yacht. He arrived promptly and was VERY professional! He took the time to analyze the issues, offered an in-depth explanation of the job scope and noted safety features like backflow preventers now available, since she is an older yacht. The technician had to work in a tight space as well. Very methodical, careful, and thorough. Our water system works like NEW again! I would highly recommend Prime Plumbing for any plumbing repairs at our home or yacht!"

"I made the mistake of providing my telephone number and after I hit "enter" I received two phone calls from two different providers. This was a little too aggressive for my taste. Dun Rite called first, so I let them come out and give me an estimate. They were willing to do the work that night, but it was too late in the evening for me considering neighbors. They came the next day. Sterling knew what he was doing, but he was strictly a "drain" guy... not a plumber. He also had a trainee with him. While Sterling was very patient with the trainee, I felt that the trainee slowed him down. Ideally, I would have liked to have had someone who was a licensed plumber... not just knowledgeable in clearing drains. However, Sterling was good at what he did and was able to clear my clogged drain. He had to come back the next day, as they lost my check. Additionally, they had to return a third time, as we were left with no hot water. Sterling was professional, polite, and friendly. I would probably call again. Although, if you're not sure what the problem is... it might be better to contact a plumber."

"Am starting this review for this contractor as he partially finished the job with the promise to be back in two weeks to address the remaining cosmetic clean-up and seeding.  I will finish reviewing the quality of his work in greater details when he comes back to complete the job started and update on the overall quality of his workmanship. 
Roots from a tree had damaged the sewer line of my 1949 house.  Needless to say, it was not pleasant.  I called five contractors and everyone (with the exception of 1) quoted similar estimates for the job.  I chose Knock Your Plumb Out Plumbing because reading the reviews in Angie's List, talking to a reference, and partially because Johnathan (the owner) was proactive in his communication with me.  He was efficient-visited my house, called the city to get a better idea of my sewer line and the city's, identified that a water line may have to be replaced since the sewer line is beneath it, gave me a quote--all within a span of a few hours.  He then followed-up.  I was initially taken aback on how assertive he was, but in retrospect, it was what made Johnathan stood out amongst the other 4 contractors I called.  Once I screened Johnathan, my husband took over the details in communicating with Jonathan while updating me.  My husband and I were quite concerned initially when we read the negative reviews that Jonathan did not come back to finish the job; however, Jonathan was open and willing to discuss our concerns.  He seemed upfront and a straight shooter, which my husband typically appreciates.
Once the contract was signed, Jonathan called to set up a day to begin the job.  Due to several raining days this past week, the work was delayed by a couple of days.  Jonathan and his crew worked all day to hand-dig the yard and completed the job by the evening.  My husband checked in twice throughout the day.  Our yard looks horrible right now, but Johnathan reassures us that I will look better.  He will come back to complete the job in two weeks and seed the yard for grass.  I will become back to finish up this review.  Thus far though, Johnathan is very professional.  His quote is within the range of other contractors' (although he gives a lifetime warranty-not sure whose life's or how we can enforce that though :))!  He is very communicative and will update you on the progress.  He didn't pick up my phone call but did pick up for my husband on the day he was working.  If all goes well, I will definitely recommend Knock Your Plumb Out Plumbing to other friends in the city and will use him again for other works.  Will be back to update this review.  The rating of B for "overall" and "quality" are not reflective of the work per say but as the work is not completed yet, it will have to be a B right now.

"The Owner, Robert, promptly met with us to evaluate and provide and estimate for the Job and outbid estimates from 4 other companies.  His crew showed up promptly at 8:30 a.m., introduced themselves and began prepping for work.  Robert showed up shortly thereafter to supervise and reiterate the job assignment.  The crew of about 5 gentlemen excavated only a necessary portion of our front lawn and strategically maintained our bushes and garden that sat above a portion of the water main line. They installed a brand new copper line through our basement wall replacing the old line that ran through the floor.  The interior looks much better cosmetically. The crew took care to level out the soil on the lawn, plant grass seeds, and covered the excavated area with a straw screen. Everyone was courteous and cleaned up well.  Robert was very helpful in offering advice on other plumbing related "do it yourself" projects, when asked, without trying to use it as an opportunity to sell more of his services.  The job was completed in approximately 4 hours.  I was impressed overall and most importantly my wife was pleased with the results.  Thanks Rob and the crew!

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Bel Air, MD

When installing a sewer line, you should consider extra costs like tree removal, driveway repairs, or patio resurfacing. Hiring a professional plumber is essential, and you may need additional specialists if landscaping or heavy excavation is involved. Addressing these potential extras up front helps ensure accurate budgeting and prevents sudden cost overruns.

To calculate the length of sewer piping you need, measure the distance from your house to the main sewer line, adding the depth of the city main to this distance. Be sure to account for any obstacles like tree roots or utility lines that may require additional piping.

City sewer lines are installed at a lower elevation to prevent unwanted backflow and water damage. This lower positioning ensures enhanced performance and long-term safety, meeting all technical and safety standards.

With trenchless methods, a plumber inserts a smaller pipe within the existing plumbing, avoiding full excavation. It can be more cost-effective and less disruptive than traditional methods, but it's not suitable for all homes.

Yes, you must secure permission from your local water authority before connecting to a public sewer line. This approval ensures your connection meets all regulatory requirements.

Sewer lines are buried between 18 inches and 8 feet deep, with most systems placed between 18 and 30 inches. In colder regions, pipes are set deeper to remain below the frost line.
