"This was on a Sunday afternoon. While attempting to repair our toilet the supply line valve broke off. Water everywhere! Had to shut off the Main so no water to the entire house! We called three "24/7" plumbing services and no one was available. One suggested we call T&J. While we did have to wait they were able to call someone in to come out. He arrived, had to locate parts for our older plumbing and go pick them up. Got it replaced and for a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend and would use again!"

"Once the new line was installed I noticed a few issues with the drainage flow.  I emailed Bob Ewing (the owner) regarding the issues I was having.  He was very cooperative and understanding and told me they would "do whatever it took" to correct the situation.  After scheduling them to come look at the job they completely re-worked the line to flow properly.  I was very impressed with the integrity of the company as a whole.  They acknowledged the error and corrected it at absolutely no cost to me and actually improved the system so it worked even better than initially planned.
The crew that came out was professional and courteous.  They removed their shoes before entering the house and cleaned up everything after they were done.   Dirt was raked and mounded and everything was cleaned up before they left.  The backhoe operator was quick and accurate and the other employee's were energetic and worked hard to get the job done quick and accurate.  I was quite impressed with this crew.
I would highly recommend E&K for your excavation and sewer line repairs.  If you want a company that will stand behind it's work and believes in customer satisfaction you have the right contractor.  I personally put more emphasis on companies that will "do whatever it takes" to make a customer happy and do the job right than companies that undercut their competitors but don't stand behind there work.  I also like to deal with companies that will respond in a timely manner when called or emailed after there are issues and not just when selling a job.  Bob always replied to my emails within one work day.  This says a lot about their commitment to their customers.
I can't say enough about Bob, his integrity and his commitment to satisfy his customers needs...

"He was very professional and did a good job. He even came early. He gave me a selection of products to install. And he even came back later to check to see that everything was ok. I highly recommend Edge plumbing."

"Do your homework first. Check with your city to find out where your sewer line connects to the main. This is the only way to know in advance if repair/replacement work will cross water or gas supply, then when you get a quote you and the company you hire know up front what the situation is and can agree on expectations and costs. Get more than one quote. Don't believe any contractor saying they will leave the site ready to throw grass seed. If the job requires digging up your yard, you will be left with a total mess requiring either a landscape professional to fix it up ($$$) or many days of hard labor on your part."

"We called due to water in our basement.  They arrived and informed me that it was a city problem and there was nothing they could do.  I then was told it would cost $151 for that information.  The crew was on scene for less than 10 minutes and only walked into my basement.  No tools or equipment used.  I was left with a foot and a half of water and the "after-hours" service call bill.  I will probably never use these guys again, we feel they used a city wide crisis to take advantage of us.

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Ottawa Lake, MI

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.
