Sewer Main Install, Replace or Repair
$5,000
John replaced the house sewer line due to tree root intrusion and adressed a recent city main sewer line backup. The scope of work included digging, old sewer line replacement, installing a back flow check valve to prevent future city sewerage backup and refill and level the dirt back to grade. John was very careful and considerate of the landscape during the work with minimal disturbance to the area. He was very efficient and professional from the project scope, quote, schedule and project completion. Very customer oriented answering my questions and provided detailed explanations concerning the project details and the methods used. Overall 5 stars Flawless, Highly recommend! Mike (Findlay)

John Kistler did great work and completed the job in a timely manner. I was disappointed that the final cost for the job was $400 more than what the estimate was for.

If anyone needs the type of services that this company offers, they should contact them first for a quote. I found them honest, professional, courteous, and wanting to do a good job for us. I knew this was not going to be an easy job considering location and other factors but they handled it with no problem. Job well done.

John is punctual and very professional. After dealing with Rooter companies, John came out and gave a very honest assessment and quote for the work that needed to be done. I will absolutely use John in the future and consider him a go to for sewer line issues. Thanks again John!!
