"Thank you, Jay, for your professional service. He came to the rescue at short notice to replace the sump pump in the basement. The pump has been working well without any leaks or issues so far."

"Brian and his crew were great. Brian came out and gave a great estimate for everything I needed. He was very responsive via email as we worked to schedule a time for his crew to come do the work, which was mainly water tank and heating system maintenance. Brian brought Jim promptly and explained the work. They then pointed out a couple of things that they recommended replacing, one they just included in the original cost estimate and another they added on due to additional parts being purchased. Jim was very thorough and professional and, by all accounts, did great work. I’ll be using Heavy Doody for all of my future plumbing and heating needs!"

"We needed our boiler replaced and had multiple companies come and look at the job. We ended up selecting Sila as we read good reviews on the company. Sila surpassed our expectations. The tech who performed the install (Gage) was on time, communicated the entire process to us from start to finish and did a tremendous job. He also made sure to clean up afterwards and was very professional. We would absolutely hire Sila again!"

"Larry from Just Drains was absolutely great to work with. He was professional, knowledgeable and incredibly decent. I joined Angie's List, in part, to sing his praises. 
My main sewer line recently backed up due to tree root intrusion. It was awful. I jumped online and started calling area plumbers, and one company was particularly responsive. However, the plumber who arrived could only provide a very temporary fix because he didn't have the necessary equipment. In the end, (and to his credit) that plumber returned two more times in an effort to remedy the problem, but each time had equipment issues and wasn't able to do much. 
I then found Just Drains and told them my story. I talked to Larry on a Sunday and he was at my house Monday morning. He had the tools and a lot of know-how. Larry scoped the line, cut out a good amount of roots, and used RootX to (hopefully) keep the roots at bay for up to a year. 
Most impressively, he took pity on me because I already spent so much money trying to fix the problem (I even rented an electric snake from Home Depot during my frustrations with Plumber No. 1) and didn't charge me the approximate cost of his services. It was one of the most decent acts I've seen from a service company.
I'm working to figure out a more permanent fix to my main line (it's 85-year-old), but it's comforting to know I have a good person/company available to help me manage the problem."

"Hired 128 plumbing today to replace a shower and tub faucet. Technician (Stephen L) arrived, and we discussed what needed to be done. Stephen got rite to work and got all the repairs done in a timely fashion. He was friendly, efficient and took the time to answer all my questions on the repairs that I had. Good technician. This was my first time with this company, but I would probably hire them again for their efficiency and timeliness. thank you."

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Methuen, MA

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.
