"We had to go through this contractor through our home warranty company. They were terrible. They came to our property to look at the water heater. The water heater needed to be replaced. They took an entire week to report that back to our home warranty company. Keep in mind this is a week of cold showers and no communication on their end. I called them every day for 5 days in a row to get the report submitted and every time I called either no one would answer or the manager that handles the report was unavailable. To top it off they tried to quote $900 above the cost of what the warranty covers for modifications that were completely unnecessary. We had someone else take a look at the water heater and they said the alterations were not justified because some of the things they were quoting were only necessary if the heater was located inside the house, which it is not. We ended up requesting the warranty company a cash out amount. I would not recommend anyone work with this company. They are unreliable, their communication is terrible and they will rip you off."

"Contacted Mr. Rooter on a Saturday and they quickly sent Dave and his assistant. Dave diagnosed the problem, provided a couple of solutions (after discussing each with me) and once we settled on a plan-of-attack, he got right to it. Dave was great! He fixed the problem, the cost was reasonable and they cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend Mr. Rooter. (P.S.- ask for Dave)."

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.
