"Everything was great. They were here within 24 hours of my initial call. Got a quote within 30 min online. Only thing is, I have aluminum piping (already in my home, they did not install this) from the electric part of my water heater and apparently it should be copper. Even says so on the water heater itself that only copper should be used. The tech Carlton didn t mention this or recommend that I get copper installed soon. Fast forward a month and the water heater tripped the breaker and then made a popping noise from the electric panel on the water heater. Called them and they had Carlton come out the same day. The aluminum pipe melted the wiring.. nothing ASI could do and now I need an electrician to replace my aluminum piping with copper. Had this been recommended to me when it was first installed on 3/2, I could ve avoided all of this. Thank god the water heater itself is fine but now I m out a few hundred dollars for new piping and an electrician to come out.. kinda disappointed, but the initial install of my water heater on 3/2 was perfect.. just not so much today."

"I needed a vent pipe rerouted in my attic, as the original design was not installed to let the water drain. Mike from Tom Drexler called to let me know he was on his way, gave me the estimate before starting work, and explained what he was doing and why. He was very knowledgeable and fixed the pipes quickly and made sure it was working properly before leaving. I was very satisfied with the service. The price was more than I was expecting but I am happy to have this fixed, as it was causing leaks in my kitchen ceiling and I should not have any other issues. I will be requesting Mike for any future plumbing issues."

"Tony skeeters came out to our home and was very respectful and polite and professional. Got our main drain unclogged in no time. I would give him and the company 10 stars if i could. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks for everything. I would call them again over any other company."

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Louisville, KY

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.
