Flow Right has been dedicated to this craft for over 10 years. We pride the company on reliability, excellent communication, integrity, and quality work. We strongly believe in giving our absolute best in all our projects no matter how big or small. We are experts in our trade and will always keep you educated on your task or project. We look forward to earning your business!

"The main pipes needed to be replaced under my mother's home. They had cracked and it was creating a foul smell so we knew this was a plumbing emergency that needed an expert plumbing team to replace these old pipes. Kenny came out for an inspection and estimate 30 minutes after my mom called Flow Right. He provided a clear estimate after inspection and work could begin the next day. The extensive pipe removal and replacement job was completed by 2 plumbers on the job in a 5 hour period and they double checked all the work to ensure the plumbing in the house was working perfectly. I highlight Flow Right's expertise and professionalism here because another well advertised and bigger SD plumbing company not only quoted us near double the cost but projected the work would take multiple days. We are so lucky and grateful to have found Kenny and the Flow Right team to get this massive pipe replacement job done, and done superbly. Thanks again, Flow Right. You guys are the BEST!"

"Greg and team did an amazing job on a remodel of several rooms in our house including our kitchen, living room, bathroom, and bedrooms. They placed tile floors and carpeting throughout the house, put in new recessed lights, installed a bifold patio door, textured and painted walls, replaced and relocated our furnace, replaced our stair railings, and completely remodeled our kitchen. His team was great to work with and the quality of work met or exceeded our expectations in all parts of the house. We are especially pleased with the tile floors, railings, bifold patio door, and kitchen which are now statement pieces in our house. Greg did a great job managing the periodic material availability or vendor delay issues that come up with big projects and notified us quickly if things were different than planned. His work on the inside of our house was so good we brought him back a couple years later to completely redo the yard and exterior of our house."

Sewer main install, replace or repairs FAQs

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.
