"We called on a Saturday and left two messages on what seemed to be their emergency response line, no callback. We had used them before for a large job just a month ago so I had one of their plumbers' numbers, texted him and never got a reply. Finally on Monday I got a response - if this had been a larger leak I would have stopped right here and called a more responsive plumber. We were contacted on Monday and they said they could come out that afternoon, I met them at my house within the contact window and got several notices they were coming via email and phone call. They were prompt and responsive once we got them on the job. Two plumbers came out; the lead plumber said he could replace the valve, but then said that they really should replace both hot and cold valves since they both were old. He gave me two quotes, one where he replaced just the leaky valve and the faucet install and it was somewhere around $325(!) - the second where he did both and the faucet for $275. Both of these were more than I wanted to spend and I was pretty confident about my ability to replace the faucet, so I said specifically "I want you to only replace the hot water valve, nothing else". According to the itemization on the receipt, this should have been around $160 or so. They go get parts and get to work on it, but then after a little while they ask me about re-using the faucet, if they could damage it to get it off. I was definitely confused and alarmed at this point, they were supposed to just be replacing one valve - I come into the kitchen and they had started pulling out the old faucet and already pulled off the old lines that came up from the valves and effectively damaged it to the point that we had to proceed with the new faucet. I was upset about this and they offered to discount the total price by $50 to compensate for the misunderstanding if we proceeded with the faucet replacement; apparently he had thought I was going with their first quote. He went ahead and put in the new faucet and new lines up to it from the valves, and replaced just the one broken valve. I was glad to have the new lines put in as they were more secure and the work was done neatly. I did have the wrong faucet type (no sprayer). and had to go back myself and swap that out after they left, but that was my fault for purchasing the wrong type - a warning would have been nice, but they did what I asked and I can't fault that. Overall, I was put off by the "upsell" nature of the call - it felt like they were adding work to bump up the price and I have already spent nearly $4000 with them replacing pipes this year, so that felt like they were trying to just milk me. And while I think it was a mistake and the guy really just didn't hear what I said, I ended up ultimately paying for work I didn't really want done - it was discounted enough that I wasn't too upset though. Michael's has never been the cheapest option but they do good work, so I didn't mind getting my major pipes replaced through them. I don't think I will call them for smaller service issues again though, and it seems I can't rely on weekend service from them in an emergency."

"Keith's was punctual, and was able to quickly locate the septic tank. They uncovered the tank, filled it for inspection, inspected it and the back-flow preventer, located the field lines, and pumped the tank. They provided a field-written report with a site sketch showing the location, along with a discussion of the issues found and recommendations."

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Portland, TN

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.
