New sewer line installation by way of trenchless pipe bursting.  By Northeast Sewer & Drain Service with Excavation by Pompeo Sand & Gravel Inc. IMG_5209 (350x233) (350x233)

This pipe replacement was on the “Hill” meaning Munjoy Hill in Portland, and again very deep and a lot of brick sidewalks, narrow streets, old growth trees and very old sewer pipe.

The customer was very worried… He had over hauled his 1900’s 2 unit and was concerned about the sewer pipe replacement, not knowing really what it was all about.  Like many people they think replacing a main sewer line is easy and inexpensive, and sometimes it can be…But most of the time you don’t know what kind of mess someones left behind…like going from 4″ cast iron pipe to 6″ Orangeburg pipe to 8″ PVC  into the street to 10″ cast iron main.

The homeowner came out quite a few times to check on the progress, and commented that “he was very thankful for the profession he was in”…..Sewer replacement didn’t look like a fun job:) and sometimes it isn’t…..

After the pit was dug in the street it was found to be an original 4″ concrete.  So we pulled new 4″ HDPE pipe with the back hoe and chain the old school way,  didn’t even need to get the Pipe Genie off the truck.  And through a series of fernco’s hooked it up to the 10” main sewer line in the street.

 

 

The entire pull with digging took 2 hours.  The inspection, backfill and paving they were done by 3pm.

The home owner was thankful and in awe at how quickly it was done.

The neighbor came out from across the street, he had been in construction for 35 years and had retired 3 years ago…Thought pipe bursting was “pretty cool”  and “wished that sewer pipe installation would have been that easy 20 years ago, his back might not be in such bad a shape”  He was a very cool guy:)

We are on Munjoy Hill for pipe bursting again next week…

I am a first time homeowner and needed a new sewer line installed, heart stopping when I had no knowledge of such things. I called northeast sewer everyday for a week with questions and concerns. They televised my line and showed me exactly where the break was (pretty amazing) I could see it on the screen!! Fixed it in one day!!

Justin and Kelly are the owners, and they could not have been better to work with. I had a 120 year old BRICK (yes, brick) sewer line collapse and they diagnosed the problem, involved the city and fixed it for less than I was expecting to pay. I learned that they own and operate their own excavating equipment which means jobs are done more quickly and less expensively than others. I am a raving fan, and have already referred them out.

hired Northeast Sewer to inspect my main line with their sewer camera because our basement kept getting water. We had roots in our line. Northeast removed the roots put us on a yearly maintenance plan and we haven’t had a problem since. Thank you.

I just wanted to compliment your plumber, Justin, who came to our home this evening. He was a professional and absolutely fantastic. He explained everything to us and fixed our problem efficiently and with accuracy. Thank you so much. We will look to you in the future for our sewer and drainage needs.

I want to thank the 2 gentleman who came last Friday morning and fixed my downstairs’ toilet. They knew what they were doing, not like some so-called professionals. They let you know what was going on. Very pleasant people to have working at your house. If I have a similar problem next time, I’m going to call Northeast Sewer & Drain first!

– Ellen P. 

A great big thank you to Justin and Kelly Dearborn from Northeast Sewer & Drain Service for fixing the plumbing issues we had at our house yesterday. Despite Allen Heplers best efforts we needed to call in the professionals! Thanks for getting there so quickly, Justin and fixing our mess! Hey friends call them if you need some plumbing work. They are great!
