37 YEARS EXPERIENCE Engineered Drainage Systems And Foundation Waterproofing For Residential, Commercial, And Industrial Applications. Every drainage system we Install is backed by a three year ironclad warranty no questions asked

"I would give Drainage Plus 10 stars if I could! Troy was recommended to me by a very reputable civil engineer in this area and it is easy to see why- their work is excellent, their team is extremely hard working, and their prices are very fair and reasonable. Troy always responded quickly and courteously to all my questions and the whole team went above and beyond on my drainage project (they built retaining walls, installed drainage pipes and dug drainage ditches). I would highly recommend Drainage Plus to anyone in need of drainage solutions."

Many homeowners are unaware that they are responsible for maintenance of the utility lines on their property. When the water or sewer line fails unexpectedly, the repair can cost thousands of dollars out-of-pocket. Service Line Warranties of America (SLWA) has created a warranty program that protects your budget and time. We have assembled a trusted network of licensed sewer and water line repair specialists who will do the job quickly and correctly – the first time. If you are a busy homeowner with little time to spare, our warranty programs will work well for you. The cost is minimal - peace of mind is invaluable.

"Sewer line was completely blocked by roots. My local plumber cleared it out for $700 but there was a large crack in the line where the roots came in and repair/replacement of the line was strongly recommended as the roots will soon re-enter the pipe and occlude it again. I called SLWA the next day to schedule a technician to come out, assess, and proceed, but they refused to do so. They said I would have to wait until the line completely occluded again before they would do anything. Note that I did not ask for any reimbursement of the work already done by my plumbing company. The contract clearly states that they will repair a leaking line. I emailed them about this but got no response after 2 weeks. I called them again, and ended up cancelling my policy, getting a refund for next year's policy which I had already prepaid, and asked for a refund of this year's policy, since they were not honoring its terms. They refused but did agree to refund the last 11 days of this year's policy. Please avoid this company at all costs."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

The answer may vary based on where you live. Residential sewer lines are generally buried 5 feet to 6 feet under the ground. However, it's not uncommon to see pipes buried as deep as 8 feet in colder climates in order to ensure that piping is placed below the freeze line. Digging depth could impact your sewer line replacement cost.
