Replace Sewer Line, Install Floor Drain, Install Backwater Valve
We are currently re-finishing our basement, and during construction, our contractors found areas of the floor wet - they dug it out and found that the sewer pipe was cracked. We found Strong Plumbing on Homestars and gave Val a call. He came out to take a look within 1.5 hours of me calling him. Due to the age of our house, he said that there were most likely cracks further along the clay pipe and he recommended that the best solution was to replace the entire length of the sewer pipe from the bottom of the soil stack all the way to the front of the house close to where it would meet the city's pipes. While they were here anyway, we also had them install a drain by the furnace connecting to the main sewer pipe, as well as a back water valve. We found his quote to be very reasonable, given what needed to be done. Val had his crew (Dennis + 2 others) come out at 8am the next morning and video inspected the length of the pipe. And as was suspected, it was cracked in a few more places and had tree roots in some other areas of it as well. They used what they call a Torpedo to take out the old pipe to replace it with the new pipe (minimizes the amount of floor being dug up). They finished everything in 2 days (including re-cementing the floors) and left everything very tidy and clean. These guys are definitely our new "go-to" plumbers and we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
