"We were surprised to discover that the tank was half full of heating oil. The guys from Flow Line handled this well, and removed the 137 gallons of oil so they could move the tank. We paid them extra for that, and also for them to haul away the cast iron furnace which weighed hundreds of pounds. Their attitude was positive throughout, and their work was excellent."

"Zach diagnosed the problem immediately: a burned out pilot assembly. He attempted to find a replacement part with the information he had at hand, but was unable to do so. He asked me to contact the manufacturer and order the correct part. The manufacturer gave me the part number but would not sell the part to me, a homeowner. So, it took a week for Zach to get the part, then he installed it immediately. Great service!"

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Salem, OR

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.
