"I recently had a water heater installed by Eno Plumbing & Heating, and I couldn't be more pleased with their service. From start to finish, their team demonstrated professionalism and expertise. They arrived on time, completed the installation efficiently, and ensured everything was working perfectly before they left. The staff was friendly and took the time to explain the new system to me in detail. I also appreciated their clear communication and competitive pricing. If you're in need of plumbing or heating services, I highly recommend Eno Plumbing & Heating for their outstanding work and customer care."

"I dealt with John and Dave. They were always very punctual, the proposal was specific it clearly stated what they would be doing, the size of the septic tank, overflow, main line and the cost. It was all done to code. They were polite, responsive and answered all my questions even after the work was completed, I wish I would have realized or been told how extensive the area that was disturbed would be. I would have removed more of the plants."

"Mr. James Ryan of JRS Maintenance came to my home to replace the old pipes under my kitchen sink. He was extremely professional, polite, and accommodating when he made the appointment with me via text and phone confirmations. Customer service and courteous treatment were at the forefront of the conversations. When James arrived to do the work, he was prompt, clean, skilled, and knowledgeable. He went right to work and answered any questions I had for him pertaining to the job at hand. He even attached the pipes I need to install a new dishwasher. He advised me to get a new dishwasher, instead of fixing the old one. Many plumbers would fix the old one even if it wasn't advantageous to do so, just for the fee. I highly recommend James for any plumbing needs you may have. He is reasonably priced, well-spoken, and knowledgeable in his craft!"

"I am so grateful that we had Ackeno and his team repipe our home! He is kind, amazingly communicative, and very accommodating. He could tell that we were struggling financially after purchasing our house, and he did everything he could to work with our budget, all while doing an A+ job. Originally I had posted a request on Angi’s for a main line replacement because I had already scheduled another company to repipe the interior. Ackeno reached out to me within minutes and said we might not need to repipe the main just yet and that if we wanted, he could give us another quote for the interior repiping. He was at my house within an hour to take a look at the situation and told me he could repipe the place in copper for the same price the other company was going to charge me for pex and he would be able to finish the job by the end of the weekend. He also pointed out some huge problems in our house (it was built in 1926 so you can only imagine) that the other plumbers did not catch. He also mentioned that there was no need to bust open the walls like the other plumber was going to do which was a huge relief. I thought the deposit was a little bit large so I was worried at first, but he got me on the schedule within a day and was extremely communicative. This first visit was on Monday. Ackeno arrived at our house by 9am that Wednesday and stayed here to do the job thoroughly until almost 10pm. The house had a lot of surprises along the way but he was determined to get through them so that we can use our water again. The repiping was a work of art - he swapped out all of our galvanized steel for copper, replaced the leaking cast iron that had probably been there for 100 years, cleared all of our aerators, installed a whole-house water filter, a boiler auto feeder, and a boiler switch valve (both of which were missing), and left the house cleaner than it was when he started. When he turned the main valve back on, the pressure couldn’t get back to where it was before which he said happens often if the main is the problem. He had some more work to finish up so he came back the next day to finish everything up. At the end of the job, our pressure was still abysmal because of the ancient main line. He gave me advice on how to talk to the city about it, but unfortunately they were unable to help. Seeing that I was defeated (and he probably was probably disappointed that all of the work he did, which had to be done anyway, did not resolve our pressure issue), so he called back me up that night saying he could he change the main valve which was under concrete to see if that would help. Sure enough it did and given how corroded that galvanized valve was, I don’t know how any water ever got through to the house. While I know I still need to replace the main eventually, I can at least relax for now and allow my funds to recover before jumping into more repairs. The job, which expanded beyond the initial scope, was completed by Friday afternoon. Every other company we spoke to was telling us they would not be able to start until at least another week and given we had pressure from our insurance to complete the job, this was a huge relief. I can now relax and enjoy my weekend. I cannot thank Ackeno enough for everything he did and for his patience with me (I asked a million questions). He taught us so much about our home and saved us so much stress and money. I can go on and on about how great he is, but you should just hire him and find out yourself."

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in University, NY

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.
