"Needed an estimate for replacing my sewer line. $400+ later, and I still had no estimate. Another company came out the next day and was able to offer solutions (and the information given was different than what I was told from Service Plus) and did so free of charge."

"Ron is thorough professional. We had issues with our sewer line and a company started the clean out work and came up with ridiculous estimation costs. We wanted to get second opinion through different companies and Pristine Plumbing was one of them. Ron came in at the mentioned time and provided me with an estimate. He is a thorough professional. He beat the estimates provided by other company and got the job done within a day and provided us with a lifetime warranty."

"I hired Whitman Plumbing to remove an old tub surround and replace it with a double shower with a seat. The team was excellent! Always cleaning and carefully avoiding walls during the process. The team told me what they would do and they did what they told me. Pricing was very fair and I am extremely happy with the new bath."

"Great company! Professional, reputable and fair priced! Mark English has a calm demeanor and listened to me when I explained my issue: A sewer backup due to a cracked and crushed clean out pipe. He understood my frustration and anxiety in wanting to get it repaired immediately. I received five estimates from various companies. You must do your homework. Such a broad spectrum in pricing. But when I reviewed the scope of work proposals, those were all the same. The estimates were all over the place. However, Mark English stood out. Again, his calm and professional demeanor in explaining what needed to be done was great. Thank you very much for repairing my sewer pipe. It was a pleasure meeting your fine crew - Crew 26! Phil Mann, Mike Morton and Wayne White were great! I might have been one of your strangest but happiest customers yet! Even another company who was very busy to get to my job in time, said this about English: â Mick English is a great guy and English is a good company. You wonâ t be sorry and I feel confident that you will be satisfied with English.â I couldnâ t agree more. I highly recommend them."

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Indianapolis, IN

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.
