Case Study · Commercial
Sewer Line Replacement
Price: $6,000 Time: 5 days Client: Robert Ellis Service: Commercial
Overview
Robert manages a mixed-use building in the Bronx where ground-floor drains were backing up every few weeks. Jetting bought days, not months. Our camera found a collapsed clay section choked with roots — so we replaced 40 feet of main, tied in the existing branches and restored full flow in five working days.
The challenge
A collapsed clay main under a paved service alley, with tenants above and a restaurant at street level. Excavation had to be surgical, quiet and fast — with drainage maintained throughout.
Our approach
Camera survey first, then a bypass pump to keep tenants draining. Open-cut replacement in two sections, new PVC main with proper fall, branches reconnected and pressure-tested.
Results & deliverables
- Collapsed section located on camera, obstruction removed
- 40 feet of new PVC main with correct fall and bedding
- All branches reconnected, flow-tested end to end
- Finished in 5 days at the quoted $6,000 — zero tenant downtime
