"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."

"I used English 30 years ago for a water leak and I found them to be highly reputable and competent, so when I had sewer issues I immediately called Mick. They kept me informed about the work they were doing and were extremely professional and respectful. Would hire them again."

"Ron is thorough professional. We had issues with our sewer line and a company started the clean out work and came up with ridiculous estimation costs. We wanted to get second opinion through different companies and Pristine Plumbing was one of them. Ron came in at the mentioned time and provided me with an estimate. He is a thorough professional. He beat the estimates provided by other company and got the job done within a day and provided us with a lifetime warranty."

"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."

"Ed and his crew came out to figure out where my problem was with my sewer line. They had to dig up the sewer line to find out why it was backing up. Once they were able to see the pipe we discovered that one of the utility lines had drilled their cable line through my sewer line causing me the problem. Ed called out the correct officials to determine who was responsible so that I would be able to file a claim for his services. We determined that it was in fact connected to ATand T. I'm still waiting to hear from someone at ATand T in the claims department. However, Ed and his crew did a GREAT job in a desperate time of need. They cut out the bad part of the pipe and replaced it with new. It's running like a champ! Ed also did a great job of taking pictures for me to have to be able to show ATand T if tey had any questions.

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.
