"Sometime in November 2013, unbeknownst to me, a water pipe leak occurred under the foundation of my house. It was only brought to my attention when I got a huge sewer and water bill totaling almost $1000 in late December. I called Greenwell Plumbing and they came out within a few days to look at the problem. They apologized for me having to wait a few days, but this was when this area was experiencing very cold temperatures and pipes were freezing and bursting and the plumbing companies were swamped with people calling about flooding homes. I understood this completely. When they came to the house they spent quite some time trying to locate the leak and finally suggested that I call the American Leak Detection Company.which I did. For anyone who has an underground (under the foundation) leak, this company is a Godsend. This company came the very next day and Greenwell was here to meet them. Within 20 minutes of being in the house, the leak detection company had located the leak in the kitchen. Greenwell immediately started jack hammering through the ceramic tile floor and into the foundation. We soon heard the gushing of the water from the leak. This was quite a large leak as my December water bill had said that I had used over 50,000 gallons of water in one month!!! After fixing the leak by replacing the pipe, and then pouring concrete into the hole to fill it up, they cleaned up the mess and left. Throughout the entire process they answered any questions I had and apologized for having to mess up my kitchen floor, which I had just had installed a few months before. The plumbers were friendly, polite and professional. I have recommended them to several people and would call them again with any future problems.

"The installation went well,but afterwards I not getting any water pressure. I was calling the back out complaining, because I thought it was the water heater. The owner Chris came out and was relentless on finding the problem, which was not the water heater,but the water softener. I was not fair in the beginning , giving this company full consideration because,they were a referral and I had not heard of them, but I will not hesitate to use them again for plumbing need. Excellent service."

"Their cost to pump again (July 23, 2013) and install elbow was approximately $1300.00. We appreciated their honesty as well as their willingness to FIX rather |than replace at exorbitant cost. Our hope is that this will last until city sewers installed in our neighborhood."

"They were called by our general contractor to do 2 plumbing fixes on our job, reattach our fixed master shower drain and replaced a small section of leaking PVC pipe. They were done in 20 minutes and said they were paid for an hour by the contractor and asked if we had any other issues.  I grabbed the kitchen sink drain we had bought 6 months ago and he put that it (which turned into a bit of a fight), then he attached a new stopper in our master bath sink, and diagnosed our guest bath sink's drain and told me what needed to be replaced and how (which I then did).  None of which we'd expected.
These extra things were at no extra labor charge since it was mostly done in an hour and we had the pieces to put in, just a few dollars for the PVC pipe.  Did a great job, were friendly, and kind to ask if there was anything else since they were paid for the time really appreciated them...far more than the general contractor who was a nightmare.

"Just before midnite on Christmas eve, we noticed a strong smell coming from the mechanical room of our basement. We have a 1/2-bath that backs up to that room, and the wastewater from that room goes into an above-the-ground holding tank with a sewage pump inside that lifts it up to the sewer line. When we got into the room, there was a trail of water coming from the bottom of the tank across the concrete floor. We contained it with towels, and wiped some of it up. We just purchased the home within the last 3 months and knew someday we'd want to improve that installation, but it was working fine up until that moment. We received a home warranty thru HMS when we bought the house, and actually found a human working the phones at that hour. They put out (we assume) several calls to and we received a call from Jon @ Ameri-Plumb right at noon on Christmas day. He inquired as to the situation and said he'd be out the next day at 9AM - which was fine since the water had started to dry up and the odor had significantly dissipated. Jon arrived right on time, and was cordial and professional on arrival. He immediately set out to try to replicate the problem so he could diagnose where the water was coming from. Since we weren't able to get the water to come out of the tank again, he concluded that the pump had backed up on something that was in the tank, that eventually worked its way through - which made sense, since it was functioning completely normal at that point. He immediately noted that he is "not fond" of the system that's installed based on the fact that it limits how much of a back-up you can experience before the water/smell enters the living/working space. Based on that impression we discussed several options on how he would approach addressing the situation both in the near-term (i.e. break/fix) and the long term, given that we do plan on re-doing that bathroom and adding a shower - remember, this is in our finished basement. Jon was reluctant to be critical of any plumbers that may have done work prior, but was straight-forward about the problems he observed and was able to explain clearly why something was wrong and how he would go about correcting it, all the while, listening and integrating in our needs and observations. The nominal fee he charged us for making the diagnosis of the original problem was, in our opinion, very fair... especially considering it was a Saturday, AND the day after Christmas."

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Flat-rock, IN

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.
