"They recommended replacing a section of line that would have only repaired a single faucet and cost nearly $1000, and did not include the softener replacement which was another $1000 or so. Got a second opinion and was able to get a new softener and a much less invasive (and less expensive) repair from another company for less than $1200."

"My plumber, Josh, arrived on time. He had shoe covers for his boots. He was very personable. He quickly assessed the clog, knew exactly what to do and began work. The clog proved to be a difficult one, but he kept at it. When he finished he cleaned the tub, collected his tools and left the bathroom as clean as he found it when he arrived. I would recommend this company for all your plumbing needs."

"Great company! Professional, reputable and fair priced! Mark English has a calm demeanor and listened to me when I explained my issue: A sewer backup due to a cracked and crushed clean out pipe. He understood my frustration and anxiety in wanting to get it repaired immediately. I received five estimates from various companies. You must do your homework. Such a broad spectrum in pricing. But when I reviewed the scope of work proposals, those were all the same. The estimates were all over the place. However, Mark English stood out. Again, his calm and professional demeanor in explaining what needed to be done was great. Thank you very much for repairing my sewer pipe. It was a pleasure meeting your fine crew - Crew 26! Phil Mann, Mike Morton and Wayne White were great! I might have been one of your strangest but happiest customers yet! Even another company who was very busy to get to my job in time, said this about English: â Mick English is a great guy and English is a good company. You wonâ t be sorry and I feel confident that you will be satisfied with English.â I couldnâ t agree more. I highly recommend them."

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Indianapolis, 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.
