"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!"

"The tech was ok and corrected the problem. But this company for this service was in my opinion highly over priced. One of my GFI had tripped which left me with no power to 2 outlets. Problem was found in less than 15 minutes and for that I was charged $149. Which I found to be outrageous. Will not be using them again"

Raymond is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. 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.

"The plumber arrived at my rental property to troubleshoot a bathtub faucet handle that was loose. He quickly identified that a part needed to be replaced and informed my tenant. However, rather than replace it, he haphazardly put the faucet handle back on improperly and quickly rushed out of the house. My tenant called me immediately to tell me that not only was the problem not fixed, but the water wouldn t even turn off anymore after the plumber had worked on it. He was also only in the home for several minutes before giving up, and my tenant informed me that he was extremely impolite to both her and her mother. When I called the company dispatcher to ask if he could go back to fix it, he lied to me and told me that the part was replaced (it wasn t), and told me that he would not send the plumber back out that afternoon. I called mere minutes after he left the home. I had a completely different company fix it the next day, and they told me that the previous plumber had done nothing at all."

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.
