"They attempted to replace a part in the water heater and when it did not solve the problem, they immediately diagnosed that our water heater needed to be replaced at a cost of $2,100 as the old one was "dead". Once they replaced our system with a brand new one, the problem persisted. At that time they recommended that the plumbing connected to the water heater needed to be replaced as they were old. Once they did that, the system started working. The above process proved to us that the original diagnosis was not accurate and that our existing water heater was not the problem to begin with as their new one also did not produce hot water until the pipes was fixed and we could've fixed the problem with a couple of hundreds of dollars of fixing the plumbing rather than a $2,100 unnecessary expense of changing the system. I asked them to take our old water heater and clean it up and bring it back for installation in a different location in our house. They kept our old system for over a month but never did any work on it and when I called and left a message for the owner of the business to get an update on the status of our repair, my calls would not be returned until I left a message that I would dispute my credit card payment of $2,100 if I did not get a return call with a status on the return of our old water heater; at which time the owner called back immediately and started yelling and screaming and accusing me of being the rudest person he had dealt with. I reminded him to think about his comment as he was the one who was not returning customers calls and that he was screaming at a customer and invited him to think as to who was the rude person. I asked him to return our heater which he did the following Monday and left it at our backdoor. I recommend you always get a second opinion on their recommendations before you award them a job."

"Preferred Home Services installed a brand new Split unit HVAC system including ductwork. They were fast efficient extremely professional and very knowledgeable. They explained everything they were doing before during and after they did it. Most importantly they cleaned up afterwards, to the point you couldn't even tell they were here. I also had them install a brand new water heater while they were at it. Everything is brand new and up to code I am very pleased. Thank you Angie's List for the referral. I will consider Preferred Home Services as my go-to from now on for my HVAC and water heater."

"Outstanding company! Was getting quotes for some excavation services I needed to run and install water and sewer lines at a property going through a total rehab. I contacted Kings of Hope and spoke with Josh, he was friendly prompt and very knowledgeable. Scheduled a time to meet for an estimate he was on time! Which is a big plus considering I was on a strict time crunch for completion of project at hand. Price was great service was even better. Josh at Kings of Hope is very thorough, knowledgeable, and has an attention to detail like no other. We have used Kings of Hope on various projects now! Demo, water and sewer installs, tree removal, land clearing, rip rap installs, sea wall installs, driveway installs. Will continue to use Kings of Hope due to the professionalism and timely manner in which projects are completed. Absolutely the best in Charleston 5 ð"

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Johns Island, SC

Sewer line replacement costs range from $50 to $250 per linear foot. Your replacement costs rise or fall based on material quality, installation complexity, and the specialized equipment crews need for excavation. Deeper lines cost more to access, and choosing budget-friendly PVC piping rather than premium copper also shifts the final price.

A sewer sleeve repairs cracked or damaged sections of a sewer pipe without the need for excavation. In this process, technicians insert a cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liner, saturated with epoxy, to seal defects and restore the pipe’s integrity. This approach protects your yard, trims repair time, and adds years to your sewer system’s life—all while delivering reliable results.

Newer homes use durable PVC and ABS piping that offer smooth interiors and effective clog prevention at an affordable cost. Older homes use materials such as copper, Orangeburg, clay, cast iron, or lead, which require a licensed plumber’s inspection to confirm safety and performance. This clear distinction impacts maintenance and overall system reliability.

Red flags include persistent clogs, recurring sewage backups, and unexplained spikes in utility bills. Strong sulfur odors, bubbling drains, and visible sewage in the yard serve as unmistakable warning signs. These symptoms demand immediate professional inspection and repair to prevent further property damage and health hazards, ensuring the system operates safely.

All sewer line projects require permits because strict sanitary and biohazard regulations mandate regulatory approval. Homeowners must secure permits, incurring a specific permit fee of $200 in addition to contractor costs. A licensed professional or local building department manages the permitting process, ensuring the work complies with all legal requirements before the project begins.

A clogged sewer line is not covered by standard homeowner’s insurance policies because these policies exclude damage from regular wear, tear, and neglect. In cases of accidental damage—such as when tree roots block the line—certain policies provide coverage. Homeowners must review their policy details or consult with their insurance provider to confirm the coverage terms.
