In Staten Island's single-family homes, homeowners are typically responsible for the private sewer lateral connecting the house to the city sewer main โ a responsibility that doesn't exist the same way in shared apartment buildings elsewhere in the city. Every sewer repair starts with a camera inspection, so we can show you the actual condition of the line before recommending a repair method โ no guesswork, no unnecessary digging into your lawn or driveway.
Where possible, we use trenchless methods like pipe lining and pipe bursting, which repair or replace the lateral through small access points instead of tearing up your entire yard. For situations that require traditional excavation, we work efficiently to minimize disruption and restore the area when the job is complete.
From minor cracks to full collapses, we diagnose and repair the actual problem.
