"I have no idea how many visits, appointments, emergency calls for help or just plumbing issues we have had over more than 25 years at two residents. They have always been dependable, punctual and had a great eagerness to provide exceptional service. Recently upgraded a plumbing fixture and it works great. The follow-up calls have been very much appreciated. Being a diamond club member has been well worth the money spent. I don't have any pictures."

"We wanted the main waterline from house to street, and hot water heater replaced. After reading reviews, we chose Wisler Plumbing and Heating to do this work. Wisler reached out daily in advance to let us know who was coming to perform the work. Each employee we met was very professional, responsive, and diligent with their duties. Davey provided us with a quote for this work. Hats off to Matt for replacing the water heater! The waterline was a difficult project, due to the location. Adam and Wes did an outstanding job, excavating, replacing the water line, and for their work on restoring our yard. We will definitely use Wisler Plumbing and Heating again for any projects we may have in the future!"

"Things went very well! Ostrom customer service called to alert me in advance that the electricians were on their way, and told me whom to expect. The electricians arrived on time. They were very courteous and professional, and Daniel was very knowledgeable. They knew just how to approach the job and completed it well. For the electrical system safety check, Daniel checked the main electrical panel, the outdoor electrical equipment, the branch circuit wiring, and life safety equipment. He gave me a written evaluation and list of recommendations. It was definitely worthwhile having this done because it made me aware of things that need to be addressed. Daniel just a few days ago installed the wiring for the under-cabinet lighting, and is waiting for the tile work to be completed before he installs the lights. Since they haven't yet been installed, the cost of service noted is only the cost for the chandelier installation."

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