"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."

"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 Lawrence, IN

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.
