"I needed an old gas pipe removed. It branched off from the main in my kitchen and went through a wall to my living room, where it had been used for a heating stove. The line had several 90 degree turns, as it wrapped around an old chimney. Mr Thurston did the full job in five minutes! It was impressive to watch. Every move suggested he could do jobs like this in his sleep. He was agile and knew exactly what he was doing. He not only removed and capped the line back where it had branched, but also, without me asking, removed a source of future confusion by replacing the old overblown drip assembly which had gone down into the floor and looked like it might be a second main. He replaced it with a short piece from the old line, now well above the floor, which he properly taped, as he did the cap at the T where the original had branched. He tested everything for leaks. Mr Thurston worked with an assistant, perhaps his son. It was easy to communicate with Mr Thurston beforehand by phone and text, and he arrived at the time we d scheduled. Less than one day total. Including HomeAdvisor fee, total job was $145. Fantastic! (I had cleared away everything from the walls the evening before.) He accepted credit card or anything else. I paid in cash. Maybe ten minutes total from walking in the house to writing the receipt. Highly recommended."

"I hired J and J to clear out a large parking area down by our creek. They were very efficient and professional. They went above and beyond my expectations in every way. I will certainly be using them again in the near future to spread rock over our new parking area!"

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