Camera inspection, spot repairs, trenchless options and full lateral replacement when the old clay or cast iron line has finally given up.
These are the situations we handle every week across New York. If yours is on this list, it is worth a call rather than a wait.
If water is running and you cannot stop it, or sewage is coming into the building, call (888) 809-6756 now. We will tell you what to shut off while the truck is on its way.
We run the line end to end and record it, so you see the actual defect rather than taking our word for it.
The camera head is traced from the surface so we know exactly where and how deep before anything is dug.
Spot repair, trenchless lining or pull-through, or open-cut replacement, with the trade-offs and prices for each.
Where we do open, backfill is compacted properly and the surface put back.
Every job is quoted flat, before work starts. What moves that number up or down is usually one of these.
| Factor | What it means for your quote |
|---|---|
| Access | An accessible basement run costs less than the same repair inside a finished wall, a tight crawlspace or a third-floor riser. |
| What has actually failed | A worn part is a fraction of the cost of a failed assembly. We diagnose before quoting rather than pricing for the worst case. |
| Age and material | Old galvanised pipe, brittle cast iron and non-standard fittings all add time. We tell you if we find them. |
| Scope you choose | Where there is a cheaper repair and a longer-lasting replacement, you get both prices and you decide. |
Nights, weekends and holidays are priced the same way. There is no after-hours multiplier added to the invoice at the end.
Explained what was wrong in plain English and showed me the part that failed. First plumber who has ever done that.

They caught a gas line issue while replacing my water heater and dealt with it right there.

Main line backed up on a Sunday. They cameraed it, showed me the roots on the screen, and cleared it that afternoon.

No. It needs the existing line to be structurally continuous enough to line or pull through. A collapsed or badly offset section usually has to be dug.
In most New York municipalities the property owner owns the lateral from the building to the main, including the part under the street. Check with your local authority.
A trenchless job is often a single day. An open-cut replacement of a long or deep lateral can run two to three days plus surface restoration.

Call and describe what you are seeing. We will tell you whether to shut the main off, give you a real arrival window, and quote a flat price before anything starts.
