NYC sewer replacement work
New York City drain line replacement and sewer line repair work requires more care and expertise than the average person realizes. Subsurface plumbing installations in NYC are a specialty field, within a specialty field! Not only must a contractor be a NYC Licensed Master Plumber but they must have a specialty bond on file with the NYC DOT and adequate insurance coverages.
NYC has a great many underground utilities that can be found in all of the boroughs – not just Manhattan. Even when utilities are carefully marked out and NYC sewer contractors abide by the New York 811 system difficult situations frequently arise. A warning sign of a heavy presence of underground utilities is when no above-ground poles for electric or telephone lines are present. Read more about NYC sewer work .
Why do a complete replacement?
The advantages of a complete sewer replacement are many. Typically a complete sewer line replacement will last for well over 50 years, be guaranteed unconditionally for 10 years, and require no maintenance whatsoever. In addition the sewer replacement job itself is more straightforward than a sewer repair because there is no guesswork in determining where the exact point of the problem is or location of the sewer pipe.
Some of the other advantages of a complete sewer line replacement are:
- Back-pitched sewer pipe can be corrected with a replacement – A repair can typically not accomplish that.
- There is very little chance of excavating in the wrong area which can waste thousands of dollars.
- There is no expense to diagnose the point of the problem and location of where the house sewer runs which can sometimes exceed $1,000.00.
- There is the confidence in knowing that the sewer problem is solved once-and-for- all.
