"Jack did an excellent job with replacing the sewer pump. He offered helpful advice in diagnosing the issue and selecting the pump. After the job was done, he even sent his guys over again to install a second valve with no charge to fix a minor issue. Thank you, Jack, for a wonderful job!!!!"

"Highly recommended. They repaired many corroding joints in my plumbing system and ran plastic lines to and installed 4 toilets I supplied. They did a great job, were friendly and very easy to deal with. They gave me an estimate on the job I wanted to have done without trying to sell me other products or services. The whole job was done in a morning. I expected it to take longer. They are very reasonable and I will definitely use them again when I need plumbing work done."

"Ben was professional, punctual, knowledgeable and gave us the best scenario to have township respond to sewer issue on a Sunday (call 9-1-1 to dispatch Public Works.) The relief when we followed his instructions saved our house. That and owning a pool pump, which we used in the utility tub, to suck the water outside. Otherwise we'd be a foot deep in sewage. A good ending to an awful situation. Thank you to Ben, and Zoom Drain, for your suggestion to resolve our issue by referring us to the local township."

"Quality of repairs were very good. Price was very high. Their policy of charging a rather large amount in order to provide an estimate and a "membership" did not sit well."

"John did a great job, he was professional, curteous and friendly. He replaced a leak which was at a joint, which also cause a problem for the line to the washer. The washer line came into the joint thus he had to replace that line not just fix the joint. I have the old grey pipes that has since been outlawed for usuage. He helped me replaced a few heavy items since my husband was at wok and even helped me carry my laudry basket upstair since my dryer had gone off. Thank You John"

"The company replied quickly and gave an estimate as requested. We were quoted for 2 new shut offs and 3-5 replacement shut offs. The plumber only brought 5 fittings, but he gave me the option to run to Home Depot to get more... I was also instructed to replace a hose which wasn?t leaking until after the repair, but it was easily fixed when I suggested to connect the new hose to the pipe rather than to the leaking hose. Sharkbite valves were installed. If I knew they were going to be used, I would have done the work myself. The plumber was proficient with the Sharkbites, I just expected that a pro plumbing company would solder. When the plumber left, there were no leaks, and I didn?t feel like making an issue of the other 2 valves which I wanted installed."

"We had water damage and so had to replace certain parts of the bathroom, and then decided while we are at it to do a full modernization. Paul alerted us to the fact that some of this cost would be reimbursable by our insurance carrier - and it was - resulting in several thousand dollars of savings that we otherwise would not have. We have an old house (1860) and Paul was interested in the history of the place and knowledgeable about the old construction methods. In these Covid times, everything took longer - material availability and such - but Paul was good about letting us know what was going on, and very responsive any time we had a question. We are very pleased with the result."

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Swarthmore, PA

Most trenchless sewer line replacements can be completed within one to three days, though this varies based on your situation. Simple repairs on accessible lines might be finished in hours, while complex systems or challenging soil conditions could extend the timeline. The reduced excavation requirements result in faster completion compared to traditional trenching methods.

Trenchless pipe lining may reduce the interior diameter of your pipes, which could affect flow capacity in already narrow lines. This method also requires the existing pipe to maintain sufficient structural integrity to support the new liner. Severely collapsed sections, major joint separations, or completely misaligned pipes might not be suitable candidates for lining and could require alternative approaches.

Trenchless sewer pipe liners are rated to last up to 50 years when properly installed and maintained. Actual longevity depends on installation quality, usage patterns, and environmental factors like soil movement or tree root intrusion. Regular maintenance and avoiding problematic disposal practices (like flushing non-biodegradable items) can help maximize your system's operational lifespan.

Trenchless technology availability varies by region, with greater accessibility in metropolitan and suburban areas where specialized contractors operate. Some rural locations may have limited access to trenchless equipment and expertise. Local regulations and soil conditions also influence availability. A professional assessment of your property and local contractor options will determine if trenchless methods are feasible for your specific location.

Professional video inspection provides the most reliable assessment of whether your sewer issues suit trenchless repair. Generally, pipes with moderate damage, like small cracks, minor leaks, or partial blockages, respond well to trenchless techniques. Completely collapsed sections, severe misalignments, or extensive structural failures might require traditional excavation. Consulting with contractors who offer both methods ensures you receive unbiased recommendations.

Quality trenchless sewer replacement often includes a workmanship guarantee from the contractor. The specific terms vary by company and region, but many professionals stand behind their installation for at least one year. Material warranties may extend longer, depending on the pipe products used. Always request written warranty information before hiring, and understand exactly what's covered and what might void your protection.
