"We read Jerry the Plumbers reviews and made an appointment to replace our water heater, WOW we are so happy, he came right away, very professional, Jerry was so nice and did an excellent job - we couldn't be happier. We will use Jerry for any plumbing needs we have in the future. If there were 10 stars I would rate Jerry a 10+, what a pleasure it was to have such an experienced really nice plumber."

"Recently i was surprised by a broken sewer main in my basement. I really wasn't sure how to handle it and then Drainworks contacted me and immediately put me at ease. They scheduled a tech to come out and look at the job the same day. Stefan text me to let me know when he would arrive and he got right to work. Drainworks makes the Dreamwork"

"Called late on a Friday and although they say they offer 24/7 service, it doesn't apply to plumbing problems and I was given an appointment for the following Monday. Luckily, we could put a bucket under the leak. The plumbing tech (Raul) called to ask if he could come a little earlier and was very pleasant and professional and made the repair in less than an hour. Before starting work, they give an estimate of the repair and at $304 it was higher than I anticipated. If they had to blow out of the line, it would have been an additional $200. While the work appears to be fine, the pricing is substantially higher than other plumbers we've used and prevents me from recommending them."

"Drainworks team has done several different jobs to my Plumbing and Well system to get them up to excellent standards. The guys were patient and had a sense of urgency wanting to get things repaired for me. I was absolutely satisfied with every job the guys completed. I had my entire Home filter system replaced, I had a leak in my Well casing repaired and also a leak in an underground main water Pipe that had sprung a leak repaired. I highly recommend Drain Works for all your plumbing needs!"

"Mike and the Plumbing Heros have been great to me! I’ve had bad experiences with many plumbers and contractors but Mike is extremely responsive, reliable, and skilled. He’s installed a backup sump pump/battery and snaked my renter’s shower. In addition, I’ve texted/called him many times with questions and he never hesitated to answer. I highly recommend!"

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Essex, CT

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.
