I am retired with 35 years of municipal construction, electrical, mechanical, and HVAC maintenance and repair. I am interested in small jobs consisting of 1-3 days. I work with just my grandson and me to teach him various trades until he can take over. We often take on the smaller jobs that others will not take. Since we are not interested in full kitchen and bath remodels or extensive projects, we will not try to upsell you into anything extra that you don't need. To prevent any surprises, the maximum I will charge you is $250 without an estimate. We accept cash, check, VISA/MC/AMEX, PayPal, and Zelle.

"Brian did an excellent job. Very friendly and professional. The job involved replacing old plumbing through walls and he did a great job without having to tear up walls. He was very efficient and I will definitely call him again. "

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Lorain, OH

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.
