Who is responsible for the line to my house?
In every town we serve, homeowners are responsible for the sewer and water lines on their own property, from the house to the property line.
How do I know my sewer line is failing?
Slow drains on the lowest floor, gurgling toilets, sewage smell in the yard, a wet patch over the line or repeated backups are the usual signs.
Will you wreck my yard?
A trench has to be dug, but we keep it as narrow as the job allows, set the soil aside and level everything afterwards. Restoring lawn or paving can be part of the quote.
Do I need a permit?
Rules differ from town to town, so check with your town's office before work starts.
Can you work in winter?
Yes, for repairs that can't wait. Frozen ground makes digging slower and more expensive, so planned replacements are cheaper in spring, summer or fall.
Do you work inside the house?
No. WS works outside, on the water line and sewer line between the house and the property line, including the connections.
Do you work on businesses or apartment buildings?
No. WS works on homes only.
Do you do trenchless replacement?
Not at this time; open dig only.
What does a line replacement cost?
It depends on the length and depth of the line, rock, access and what needs restoring. We price each job after a free site visit.
