"I don't have enough good things to say about Rob. He was friendly and knowledgeable from first contact. He was able to come out the same day and give an accurate quote. He kept in contact until the day of the install. He arrived on time on the day of the install and finished promptly. He had to climb over the washer and dryer AFTER it was stacked in the closet to complete the install. Rob brought all the tools and pieces necessary and left no mess. Rob was a pleasure to deal with and I would recommend him without reservation. His prices were fair for the amount of work he did and I will definitely use him in the future should we need."

"They gave me an estimate of from $8,000 to $13,000. They were professional and fast, and they did an excellent job of replacing our badly clogged sewer line. They explained that they could either replace the existing line (which ran under the front of the house and would have involved removing the front porch) or put a new line through the side yard (which would involve drilling through the basement wall). We decided on the second option. The only problem I had was that, instead of a lawn, we had a 15-year-old perennial garden planted along that side of the house. This was an unusual dilemma, and the reason this job cost more than the average sewer line replacement probably had a lot to do with the fact that there were so many plants in the way. The crew took out several bushes, set them aside, and promised that after they were done, they would replace them and try their best to put the garden back together. But I think that when they got down to it, it was just too complicated and time-consuming. They told me that a lot of the plants just had to be taken out with their backhoe and couldn't be saved. There had been a rock garden and a brick walkway, and they didn't remember later where the bricks had come from, so they ended up hastily replanting four large bushes, and that was it. They had rolled over my neighbor's grass with the backhoe, and they just kind of left that. I felt that, given how much I was paying them, they probably should have consulted a landscaper or asked someone from a plant nursery to come over for several hours, re-sod (or at least reseed) my neighbor's lawn, and do a little better job of sorting out my garden. In the end, they kind of left in a hurry. They did not meet with me again to talk about the whole thing, and I did not have a chance to say that I was not happy with the way they left the garden. They were excellent with fixing the sewer line. I rated them highly because what I hired them to do had nothing to do with my garden, and I thought they were really good overall."

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Highland Lakes, NJ

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.
