"ZERO STARS! I can’t believe the rating on here. 1.9 on Google is way more accurate. Unfortunately, AHS assigned this company to my service request on Aug. 3rd. They came out on the 6th and after 3min here, they said they were going to send the report to AHS. 48 hours later AHS was still waiting on report. After almost 72 hours, they finally sent it and it was partially approved. The out of pocket was $475. I called them to see what the charges were for, and that was the only time they quickly answered my call and the last. I accepted the charges and they said they would call me to schedule an appointment once the parts arrived. 2 weeks later and nothing. I called and left a voicemail. Nothing. On Aug 26, AHS said the system shows the part as “delivered at shop” on Aug 22 and they had to confirm with tech but would call me back as soon as they did. I called AHS every day from the 26 to the 30th only to be told the same thing. Today, still no hot water and no return call from this comp"

We specialize in working on older homes and those problems that require unique solutions. We offer full service residential plumbing services to customers looking for "long-term" and "efficient" solutions. We work on the following plumbing items - toilets, sinks, water heaters, tankless water heaters, sump pumps, water softeners, faucets, garbage disposals, drains, gas lines, clogged drains, water lines, main lines, and all other non-listed residential plumbing needs.

"I hired Hope Plumming to replace my sewer line, after my old clay sewer line collapsed. It happened 2 days before Christmas, and Hope, was super responsive and helpful to get the job done, as there were some challenges, due to winter with extenuating weather circumstances. They went above and beyond helping to keep my neighbors updated as my line required use of a mutually shared alley. Since then they have also installed a new water heater and water softener. As a repeat customer I would definitely recommend the team at Hope!"

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.
