"They were very professional, timely & cleaned up after themselves. Although the original quote they gave me $295-there were additional issues with the toilet so the final cost was $445.00"

Pipe-thru provides services such as water main replacement, trencheless sewer line, pipe bursting, electrical conduit and gas line. We also repair and replace sewer lines and main lines. We can also help you with pipe inspections and leaks. Please feel free to contact us with any question or concern you may have. Our first priority is to meet your needs and we guarantee complete and satisfied work. We look forward to working you.

"Jose and his crew were great! He came highly recommended by a neighbor, who had hired them to completely re-plumb her house. We needed our 75-year-old sewer line replaced: I got an estimate within a day or two of requesting one, and he caught a problem with the original installation that other contractors had missed in their inspection. Jose and his crew did the work as promised and cleaned up the site every day---spotless! We had a small tree that was growing near the line which they managed to save, which we didn't think was going to be possible, and they managed to dig a huge hole in our tiny front yard without a lot of impact to our other landscaping. They handled all the permitting and inspections, too, and made sure I got copies of all the relevant paperwork for our household records. I highly recommend Pipe-Thru, they were so easy to deal with and completely professional all the way. They charged a fair and reasonable price for the work. I will definitely call them when I have any other underground piping issues--including installing electrical conduit to our backyard shed, which we want to do in the future. Can't recommend them highly enough."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

All municipalities in the U.S. require a permit for septic tank installation or septic system alteration, and the permit will usually cost between $450 and $2,500. Some municipalities also require permits for septic system repair. You’ll either need to contact your local building department or your septic tank company to ask if this is necessary before carrying out the work. Permits are not typically required to have your septic tank pumped, so provided your septic company is licensed, you can move forward with the work as needed.

Signs that your well is dry include a decrease in water pressure, strange odors coming from faucets, cloudy, bubbly, or discolored water, and water that’s warmer than normal. Signs that your well pump is bad are similar, but you may also notice higher-than-average electric bills, strange clicking sounds, and faucets that spit or sputter.

You can put yogurt in your septic tank, but it will not increase the bacteria in your septic tank. In other words, it won't harm your tank, but it won't get rid of a septic smell or boost the performance of your septic system. While yogurt contains helpful bacteria, you would need to buy an extraordinary amount of yogurt to make any difference. Adding yogurt is not a helpful or cost-effective strategy.

Most shallow residential wells are somewhere between 25 and 50 feet deep. They are among the simplest well systems. Deeper wells usually involve drilling to a much greater depth. Water wells for household use are typically 100 to 500 feet deep, depending on local groundwater conditions. Some may be up to 1,000 feet deep or more. 

Common problems include low water pressure, no water, and strange noises. Regular maintenance prevents many issues.
