"I was isolated at home with a broken leg, in the middle of winter, when my old propane hot water heater died. This company answered the first call I made to them & sent a technician to evaluate the heater the same day. Their team came the next day to take out the old heater and professionally install a new one. They handled everything from A-Z, and the new water heater works perfectly. Their prices were fair & honest and they explained every cost to me. Every single person in this company was so kind & compassionate - from the person handling the phone &, scheduling to the technicians to the owner. Thank you to all of them! I highly recommend Mr. Rooter of Saratoga & would go no where else for future plumbing needs."

"I have hired Phil several times for my plumbing and appliance replacement needs. He’s very knowledgeable and honest. He has correctly fixed past mistakes made by previous laborers, especially as this relates to the piping configuration from a utility pump in my basement when I hadn’t owned the house yet. I don’t hesitate to hire Phil when needed."

"Hired ?A Real Plumber? through Angie?s List to unclog kitchen sink and main sewer line. They arrived on time and did a thorough job. They were courteous and professional and cleaned up afterward. 
I hired them again to install a sump pump. Again they were on time and very professional and courteous. They did the job in a timely manner and cleaned up afterward.

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