"The only good thing American Home Shield has ever done for me and my family is introduce us to Lockhart Plumbing & Remodeling. We put in an issue for a leak with AHS and of course it wasn’t covered, but that wasn’t the plumber’s fault. Billy came out, explained what would need to be done and left, only to come back the next day and fix everything according to my scheduling constraints. He answered all of my questions, explained why the warranty company wouldn’t cover it (AHS is a scam and a waste of money and time. They have never fixed anything for us). He looked at a couple other things to give advice and quotes on, and was so personable and professional, I was completely comfortable having him in my house. He never complained that my issue was more difficult than he was expecting, he made a few jokes, kept in contact with both me and my husband every step of the way, and offered a very generous price. If I have any plumbing issues in the future, Billy will be my first call!"

We are a full service plumbing company. We specialize in all forms of trenchless technology as well as general repairs from faucets to showers to entire house re pipes and as little as changing a wax ring on a toilet. We work for many of the largest contractors in the area and are underground division covers the entire state working for other contractors because of our specialties. Our indoor division stays mainly in the Central Virginia area providing top-notch service at an affordable rate. Many of the larger companies that we work for don't want to admit that they sub out to us. However you can hear people advertising for us on the radio every morning and never know my company was there. We look forward to working for you and making sure that you are 100% satisfied.

"Quick response to investigate my septic issue and was knowledgeable about my issue. Gave me a fair estimate. Once contract was signed they came and fixed my problem the next day. Very nice and responsive company. Thank you "

We pride our company on reliability, great communication, integrity, and quality work. We are experts in our trade and will do our best to keep you as educated as we can on your particular task or project. We look forward to earning your business!

"I have nothing but praise for One Hour! I value greatly the quality of the services and products this company promotes, provides, and utilizes, and also know firsthand the depth of their honesty and integrity! Being a life-long asthmatic and allergy suffer, my home always needs to be a haven of healthy breathing for me, so I was relieved to know that One Hour had real and effective solutions to my problems. I suspected mold issues in our home, in addition to the obvious high volume of dust accumulation since my asthma was becoming persistent and out-of-control. I was experiencing regular asthma attacks and was beginning to feel quite desperate. So, besides taking my medication, I reached out to One Hour so they could evaluate the quality of my home air, and to make sure everything was OK. However, things were not fine. But things did begin to improve upon the installation of two of their products, the MicroPower Guard and OxyQuantum UV lights. If fact, recently I just changed out the filter (since it was time to do so), and was amazed to see the amount of dust collected on it which is a great thing! I certainly don't want to breathe that in my lungs. Also, I have noticed less dust accumulation around my home, and it also takes longer to build up too. So, I truly believe these products are working effectively and efficiently (as they need to be), and also find peace of mind knowing that the UV lights are killing the mold spores around-the-clock and preventing them from growing back! I am also glad to report that my asthma and allergies are much more under control, and it feels wonderful to breathe more normally, and without persistent fear of wondering when my next asthma attack will occur. Cheers to One Hour! Will L."

LSC Plumbing is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. With over 15 years of experience, we uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"Please reconsider before using LSC Plumbing and be sure to get a second opinion. As first-time homeowners, we received a notification of a possible leak and contacted LSC Plumbing early that morning. Justin came out that same afternoon. He checked the water meter, took a video, turned off the main water supply, and concluded?without inspecting inside the home or performing any diagnostics?that we had a leak in the main water line outside the house. He immediately provided a quote of $6,000, warning us that the price could double if digging had to be done by hand. He also mentioned he does not work with insurance companies and strongly encouraged us to sign a contract and pay a $2,500 deposit right away. Fortunately, while waiting for our homeowners insurance claim to process, we sought a second opinion. Another plumber identified a leak in our bathtub, which my husband was able to repair himself for only $100. Had we trusted the initial assessment, we would?ve been out thousands "

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Richmond, VA

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.
