"Kyle Hooper came out and did a video inspection of our sewer system for us and went the extra mile to get the job done. He was prompt, courteous, professional, and did a job that other plumbers weren't able to do. I would be very happy to use Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Birmingham again when the need arises."

"We’ve used Jimmy from Coleson Plumbing for years for all of our plumbing projects! Our house was built in 1957 so you can imagine the issues we’ve had over the years. Jimmy and Coleson Plumbing is Honest, Professional, extremely clean, and time after time has always come in at the best price for the job! In the past I would always get stressed calling some random plumber because you are at their mercy like a car mechanic! But, when you call Coleson Plumbing all that anxiety goes away bc they provide quality work for the absolute best price!!!! We have used them for so many different projects in the past because of their attention to detail and quality of work! It’s so refreshing that their are companies such as Coleson Plumbing that still exist today! Jimmy from Coleson Plumbing has replaced all of our Galvanized Pipe with PVC, installed 2 Regulators, replaced our Hot Water Heater with a Tankless Hot water heater and also installed our kitchen and bathroom fixtures and repaired a slow drain we’ve had for the past 10 years that past plumbers could never fix properly! Give him a call or text for an estimate before you go with another plumber and pay thru the roof! You won’t be disappointed!!!"

"They gave me an estimate on replacing a toilet and stuff. They were outrageously high. It was a ridiculous price. They came in real professional, they put stuff on their shoes and all that. I couldn't get in touch with them when I was going to get a sink disposal unit. Apparently we couldn't do it because we're on septic tank. I called the guy several times and I don't know if he ever tried to call me back or not. I don't think he made too much of an effort for it. I don't know if they were busy or what. It was probably about $200 or less for that. It was either a faucet or garbage disposal or something like that that they would install. I wanted to do a garbage disposal and found out we couldn't do it. The responsiveness when they were going to do the faucet or disposal had to be a 'D'"

"It went well, they had a better solution to move the toilet and they found a leak in my pipes. Had a few hiccups. due to my plumbing, no fault of theirs, and they fixed or made it work. They showed up on time did a great job cleaning up. I would defiantly hire them again."

"I bought an older home, out dated. The pipes were cpvc, some were cracked and leaking, the faucets were also old and had issues with leaks/dripping. Proline came out and made a very reasonable price to replace all the water lines with new PEX and they replaced all of my faucets with ones I had picked out. They were quick, friendly, and when they left there was no trash anywhere, they left my home very clean. This is a great professional company, I highly recommend."

"My installer Samuel was top notch, very detailed, pleasant, answered all my questions. Excellent representative. The only problem I had was miscommunication on their end as I was told available payment options and Samuel was told another. Did not affect installation or quality of work at all."

"This problem had happened several years ago in the same place. I remembered roughly where to find the water line and considered doing this repair myself but was willing to spend some money to keep from getting wet and dirty. However, I was not prepared for the exorbatant fee for a repair that required little technical expertise other than how to dig a hole and push the ends of two pieces of pipe into a quick connect compression fitting. At $390 for the repair, he earned more than $100 per hour. I only make a third of that teaching people how to fly airplanes. I was further surprised at the suggestion that I should wait for the dirt to dry and that he would not be returning to refill the hole. It was two days later, during the refilling of the hole, that I discovered the he had not properly replaced the box around the sprinkler system valves so I had to dig that back up and reposition it. Overall, I can say that the leak was fixed by a nice enough fellow who just did not seem to grasp that high plumber fees should garner more than just the minimum amount of work possible. Charge me for the work but make an effort to leave me feeling that I am getting more than just a hit and run."

"On all of the replacements or repairs there was a time period of 1 -3 weeks for the repairman. They were all professional . You have to read the contract , I missed the electric part and had to pay for it myself so read your warranty ."

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Empire, AL

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.
