New septic line install

Workerbee on Mar 12, 2015Definantly get a second opinion. Ask around for a good referral. There are a lot of guys just taking the easy way out and making a buck in the process. I would want them to send a camera down my line and explain to me what is wrong with the old line that it needs to be replaced, and go from there. I don't want to hear it will be easier, I want to know why.Helpful Reply

C on Mar 13, 2015sounds like the contractor is trying to do what's easier for him/her and not necessarily come up with the 'absolute' best resolution! get a few more consults before you make a decision...but definitely, get someone to snake the line! best wishes...Helpful Reply

Elizabeth on Mar 13, 2015Hi. Thanks so much for the feedback! We did snake the line and the 3 breaks are under my new addition so digging would disrupt the foundation. We know a new line is needed but I just don't know how to ensure its done properly.Helpful Reply

Larry Chura on Mar 13, 2015Years ago in sewer line removal/repair there was the option of using a spray sealer on the inside of a line. It depends (1) if there is a company in your area that does it (2) how bad the break or crack is. We used to have it done a lot in the small town I worked / lived in. I was on City Council there at the time. Just another option if you didn't know about it.Helpful Reply

D.D. on Mar 15, 2015Be sure you check to see if they are bonded and licensed by the state. If not, find one who is and get at least 3 bids. Ask neighbors who did they're sewer lines. This is expensive work, so make sure you've picked someone who is bonded, licenses and stands behind their work. Ask for references Reputable companies should be willing to come out and give a bid free. I had a barn built and had 8 different guys come out and their suggestions were all over the map --from having to cut down trees to reduce the size. Finally found one company who gave me a bid ON TIME and for Just what I asked for (not a bunch of extras to pad the bill). He was happy to give references, Their work was excellent, on time, and on budget. So it's worth checking out their credentials..Helpful Reply
